Down by the river …

While out for an evening wander, I took advantage of the some dark clouds and the 7.27pm sunset over the LaHave River, it will not be too long before that occurs around 5.00pm …!!

We have the beach back …!!!

I believe Crescent Beach is the only one in Nova Scotia where you can drive and park on the sand. This means during the summer, there are many out of province (Ontario) visitors who keep the beach busy. 

With the Labour Day weekend now ticked off on the calendar, most of those Ontario plated cars are now back home with, I am sure, happy memories of Lunenburg County and the South Shore.

As a result, this afternoons beach wander in bright warm sunshine, was thoroughly enjoyable in the company of a few broadly smiling locals, who must be thinking ~ it is nice to have the beach back.

Even the seagulls appeared to be more relaxed and happy …

Ottawa 2025 …

I have just returned from a very nice week with family and friends in our nation’s capital Ottawa.

I also made time to visit the offices of the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) in the city, and had the enormous privilege of meeting some of their staff. From this location they are responsible for war graves and memorials in all the Americas and Pacific.

Below are some quick and basic pics from my visit, showing work in progress of the $5 billion Parliament renovations, views of the Ottawa River looking over to Quebec, the Rideau Canal and River, The National War Memorial and The Commonwealth Air Forces Memorial ...

Absolute perfection ...

Once again, I was out for another stunning wander on Cherry Hill Beach. It was rather busy today, I counted six others, who like me appeared to be enjoying the absolute perfection that it was today.
