A door into summer.

Hey Julie, let's you and me go for a walk.  Hope you don't mind,  I've invited my other readers along, as well as your sister and mom.

I thought that since you're not feeling up-to-snuff at the moment, and I have a stinking cold, we'd go for a walk into summer.

I just can't be doing with the winter coat, lined boots, hats, mitts and scarves and today's -5C temperature.

Let's just step out the door into summer.  No boots, no coat, maybe a hat to ward off the mid-day sun.

Do you mind if we set off a bit early, while the dew is still hanging on the spider webs ?


Then we'll head to the park.



A warm summer breeze, ruffles the flower's petals. Their lush scents fills the air.  Careful !  Don't stick your nose in THAT one.


Some rambling paths take us through fog-shrouded, rich, green trees, and past marvellous mounds of rhododendron.


Some of the places we go are tidy, with manicured paths.


Others are wild, with unexpected surprises.


Let's walk for a bit by the old canal.


Are you tired ?   We can sit for a bit with Buffy, and look down at the farms and the distant bay.  See how her nose twitches with all the different scents the gentle breeze brings.


Since it's gotten quite warm, I thought we should finish up by having a walk on the beach.

Feel free to take your shoes off.


Let's do this again, real soon.

  11. Ooh really lovely Sybil. I like your photos - my favorite is the one of your dog looking down at the view, and the deer.

  12. dearrosie, the deer was a lovely surprise. Luckily, my dog on-leash beside me, couldn't see it. That deer was very tame.

  14. Cait, the farmland can be seen from a famous look-off at Cape Blomidon. A must-see on a visit to Nova Scotia.
