(8 June 2012. Glasgow Lakes Look-Off Trail. Cape Breton Highlands National Park, Nova Scotia.)
During the last Thursday Travels post, M and I were still making our way along the Glasgow Lakes Look-Off Trail. The trail was getting wetter and wetter as we made our way up and along the highlands plateau.

Early this morning
Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Part of the storm preparations. (The disco tub half full with water we might have needed if the power had gone out.)
Sandy didn’t quite live up to her hype here in the Bogs. I am grateful for that. I know she was much, much rougher on those closer to where she came to shore. Family and friends back east are without power, but everybody is okay. I am most especially grateful for that.

A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.
~ Henry David Thoreau, Walden, “The Ponds” (1854)

Hopewell Rocks is a good place to experience the tides of the Bay of Fundy. Also known as Flowerpot Rocks, the base of the rocks are covered twice a day at high tide. At low tide you can view and explore the rocks from ground level.

Stairs to the beach at Cape Enrage
Once upon a time, a very long time ago (going on 20 years, I think) in a land far away, I took a fall down a long, steep set of metal stairs in a castle ruin. It happened in Scotland, and I obviously lived to tell about it, but during the fall I wasn’t sure I would. Even M had thoughts of having to take me home in a body bag. We both agree it seemed to take hours for me to reach the bottom although it was probably a matter of seconds. I miraculously made it to the bottom with almost no injuries (a cut, a missing fingernail, a little mud on my nose).
