Gaff Point/Hartling Bay

Gaff Point, NS

March 29, 2013

I'm not sure if Gaff Point is considered Kingsburg or Upper Kingsburg.  I do know it is an excellent hike if you have the time.  We had a great time hiking the point on the Easter long weekend, luckily the weather cooperated.  

The efforts of the Kingsburg Coastal Conservancy did not go unnoticed, especially on the wet portion of the trail.  The walkways that were constructed last year are excellent and kept our feet nice and dry!

If you haven't checked out one of my favourite corners of planet earth, I highly recommend it!

Signs of Spring: Snowdrops

Upper Kingsburg, NS

April 2, 2013

It's always reassuring to see this small patch of snowdrops pop up every Spring, even when they are surrounded by snow.  

Also spotted in the yard, daffodils and lungwort (?) blossoms!  What a gorgeous weekend.  

For all those complaining about it being cold, seasonal norms for coastal Lunenburg County are daytime highs of ~7 C, lows of -1.  Sorry folks, this weather is 'normal'.

What's on this weekend? Lotsa breakfasts!

I hope you weren't craving a community/church supper this weekend...but if you are hungry for breakfast you are in luck!

It was a frothy day in the ocean earlier in March when I took this shot.  The shining sun and gorgeous clouds were a pleasant bonus.

A typical shot from the road, just outside of Leverburgh, on the Southern tip of the Isle of Harris.  Lovely scenery!
