…… with not much else to do, I thought that I would put together some photos that Linda and I have taken of our recent feathered visitors.

Today was perfect for an afternoon drive along the coast to Chester. Located about 40km from Pleasantville, it is the home of the annual Chester Race Week, Canada's largest keel racing regatta. The nearby waters of Mahone Bay with its numerous islands are well known for yachting. Today in the Covid era, there seemed to be more boats in the water than feet on the ground.
I was very impressed with the vintage styling of “Willy’s” wheels in the last two photographs ...
Today, we took a coastal drive to Peggys Cove.
During the summer or in fact any good day in the year, it is always a location which is extremely busy with tourists, but due to Covid-19 certainly not today. It was so quiet, unlike a few previous visits, I was able to take many pictures of the famous lighthouse without hoards of people walking into the photo frame.
Just outside the village of Peggys Cove is Polly’s Cove hiking trail, a location of rugged terrain with a mixture of bog, glacial erratic’s, and short scrubby brush. With its spectacular panoramic coastal views, the trail starts out wide, but when it is not snaking over the granite boulders, it soon narrows to just a few inches wide. There appears to be many little paths shooting off in all directions, which look interesting and provide a good reason to plan a future trip there
