The Blomidon peninsula on the Bay of Fundy. A high slope descends to the water. In the background is Wolfville area.
A historical house, now used for community purposes. It sits on the shore of the Bay of Fundy with the tide returning. This pic was taken from Partridge Island as I began my hike around it. Cape Split is seen from the opposite side of the island.
Partridge Island in the Bay of Fundy. I hiked around the island at low tide the day after this picture was taken.
Cape Split in Nova Scotia with part of the Bay of Fundy as the tide returns. There are divided rocks at the end of a high cliff.

A tomato worm on a plant, before being released into ... a path, where hopefully a robin will enjoy my offering.
Burrata with a sort of pastry.
65 garlic plants, from my 80. This will give me enough to plant 80 in the Fall and keep me stocked up with garlic until next Spring.

The wall of the cave with steps and a rope to attach to.
A picture from my dash after returning from Nova Scotia to Ontario. It shows I drove 4600 km and driving time was over 52 hours.
Three large boxes of King Cole Tea, totaling 648 bags.
Homemade eggs benedict. We fry the eggs because we just prefer that.

A fishing boat heads out from harbour in the early morning light in Nova Scotia. I lighthouse and calm waters reflect the sunlight. In the distance Blomidon with tall cliffs several kilometres away.
To the left is an island, and to the right the lighthouse. This is a view in the Bay of Fundy with the tide just coming back up. Probably rising another 10 metres.
