It's a new dawn, and a new day, and a new year ... and I'm feeling good

Today found Dexter* and I heading to Lawrencetown for an invigorating beach walk.

Our goal was this wonderful hill just past the Lawrencetown Beach.

We had a choice of walking on the trails behind the beach,

or along the Trans Canada Trail.

We did a section of each and then slogged up the steep hill.

The reward is a terrific view and a stroll by a rapidly eroding cliff.  As you can see Dexter was wildly unimpressed by the cliff.

And I imagine the view didn't impress him much either.

I found both to be more than adequate and very much worth the hike.

Clearly it was stormy out on the ocean as the waves were big,

 and sheets of rain were visible on the horizon.

It seems to be a marvellous tradition in Nova Scotia to visit the beach on Christmas and New Year's Day as I was not alone in my explorations.  But it wasn't crowded.

We crossed back over one of several boardwalks and noticed something on the side of it

it was an unexpected sign.
