Last year was such a nightmare with one ice storm after the other, that we feel we deserve the gentle Winter we're getting this year. We've had a couple of storms but the snow really hasn't lasted through the subsequent mild spells and rain.
I know there are those who long for snow, but I am quite happy with things as they are.
Today I couldn't decide if I was going to take Wendy and Sooki to Rainbow Haven or Conrad's Beach. I didn't know until I drove right past the turn off to Conrad's that I was going to Lawrencetown Beach instead.
There is a long parking lot behind Lawrencetown Beach and several boardwalks to choose from.
Or perhaps you'd rather walk on the grassy trail behind the beach ?
Well actually it's Wendy who prefers being close to the water, while Sooki would rather be a bit more out of the wind on the grassy trail.
I brought the throw stick and Wendy's bright orange ball. While she chased the ball, Sooki posed for a photo; well really she sat 'coz she knew she'd get a treat.
The boardwalks that lead to the beach are being "eaten" by rocks. I think this beach used to be much more sandy than it is now.
This boardwalk (below) had ramps rather than steps so that the disabled would be able to reach the beach.
Well. Ummmm. Errrrr.
The rocks have "eaten" the bottom of the ramp and even if they hadn't, because there's no sand there anymore there's no where for a wheelchair to go.
BTW we apparently have a "snow event" rolling in late tomorrow, so soon those Nova Scotians who are hankering for snow will soon get their wish.
Me? I can't wait for the NEXT thaw. lol
Such a beautiful beach and lovely pooches :-) Are all those rocks there in the summer too? Or is it like Hirtle's Beach where there are more rocks on the shore in the winter and it's mostly sand in the summer? Glad you all enjoyed the beautiful day :-)
ReplyDeleteKelly, maybe you're right about the rocks coz I do think it's sandier in Summer.
DeleteBeautiful photos Sybil! Before we moved to NS, Lawrencetown was our favourite beach to visit. Now we don't get there very often.
ReplyDeleteIt's well worth the visit but make sure you go to Conrad's too. AND make sure you let me know when you're coming.
DeleteSuch beautiful scenery - I can almost smell the salt air and feel the wind on my face. Love the portrait of Sooki, too...
ReplyDeleteBarbara, that dog is so darn photogenic. How close are you to the sea ?
DeleteThere are stony sections like that along our shoreline, too. And they move. It's very absorbing, watching the changes from week to week.
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures of the dogs. (And no, I don't have to say that - Miss Sadie and the Cowboy are sound asleep.)
So glad to see you back in the blog-o-sphere Gerry. Maybe those rocks will be gone come Summer ...
DeleteI've also got a dog who will sit and pose, and one who is impossible to photograph.
ReplyDeleteI've got so many more pics of Sooki than I do of Wendy.
