Flowers to Brighten the Winter
Loon Pictures from the Summer
Our Swans Are Here Again
When I looked back, I saw that there were 7 swans here last winter. We seem to see some swans each year now. I believe all of these are trumpeter swans. They were too far away for me to see if there were any tundra swans in there or not. It also doesn’t look like […]
Pileated Woodpecker
The pileated woodpecker is the largest woodpecker in Canada. It’s name “pileated” means “capped”. It is nearly the size of a crow. This one is a female. The males look similar except that they have a red stripe on the cheek, that looks a bit like a moustache. We often see the results of a […]
A Visit to Cape Forchu, Nova Scotia
We were able to go to Yarmouth this past year. We had tried to do this 4 years ago, but had to turn back because of a hurricane, so this was especially nice for us.
Our First Snow

Joggins Fossil Cliffs, Nova Scotia

Entering Nova Scotia

Visiting St. Martin’s
St. Martin’s, New Brunswick is one of our favourite spots in New Brunswick. We were here 4 years ago, but wanted to visit again. It was quite foggy while we were there this fall, but lovely. We were able to camp in a similar spot to where we were 4 years ago – looking out […]
More Pictures of the Whales
Here are some more pictures of the humpback whales. We enjoyed our time on the fishing boat – it is used for tourism in the summer, and for lobster in off-season for tourists. It was very foggy, but we were able to get out to where the whales were.
