This morning I decided to go not too much further down the
road to Cherry Hill Beach, a place that offers a direct route to happiness via
its empty curve of fine grey/silver sand, exposed water and endless sky.
I arrived just at the high tide point, which meant that
about 75% of the beach sand was under water, I therefore had to walk along what
seemed to be mountains of pebble stones. From this vantage point, I was able to
view some rather large waves crashing onto the stones below, then hear the loud clattering as the water pulled them into shallows for the next wave to
throw them ashore again.
In complete contrast to the roar of the waves and rattling
of stones on the beach side, the salt water inlets and ponds behind the beach
portrayed tranquility and total silence with the occasional eagle or heron
going about their morning routine.
By the time I made my return journey along the beach, the
tide had receded enough to expose more of the sandy bright beach.
It was truly a lovely morning at Cherry Hill Beach, sharing my time with the roaring of waves, the rattling of stones, the calmness of the inlets and the company of some wildlife, you have got to love the South Shore of Nova Scotia …
