Staycation summer

If I'm going to be stuck in a bubble I am so glad that I'm stuck in the Maritimes; specifically Nova Scotia.

Today my chum Donna and I met up at Baxter's Harbour Falls on the Bay of Fundy.  The "falls" are the outflow from a culvert high above the harbour.  In spring they are quite wonderful; right now, not so much.

Still it's pretty.  We were there at low tide.  You can see how high the water will be a mere six hours later.

We explored the shore.  

Scrambling over sometimes slippery rocks, with me reminding Donna all the while that this was good for our hippocampus (our hippocampi!).

Donna found us a marvellous spot for our picnic lunch under this stone arch.  Here's a shot of Dexter "photo bombing" Donna.

Donna set up her camera on a tri-pod to take a pic of us having lunch.  I thought the large seaweed covered rock behind her looked like a friendly, Muppet, monster.

We had hoped to walk down the shore to Black Hole falls; but after walking over a kilometer down the shore we found our way blocked by high, greasy boulders.

The rugged beauty of the shoreline was adequate consolation.  

We walked back to where we started and decided to drive to Scotts Bay, about 25 minutes up the road.

The shoreline of Scotts Bay presents a very different view.  A flat stone-covered shore; a rock collectors dream

The tide was just turning, meaning it was starting to come back in.

This lovely driftwood tree presented a lovely photo opportunity.

We're already another staycation adventure for next week.

I hope you are finding things to enjoy in your neck of the woods.
