I know. It’s Friday, not Thursday. But I’m off skiing this afternoon and won’t have time to post the photos from that little adventure so you’re stuck with a scheduled post and some travel photos from Nova Scotia today. In my last Thursday Travels post (Ferries and boats and lighthouses, oh my), M and I had just landed in Nova Scotia. We left Caribou, Nova Scotia, and went east on the Sunrise Trail, making our way towards Cape Breton.

After a quick visit to say goodbye to the beach, we made our way to Wood Islands, PEI to take the ferry to Caribou, Nova Scotia. (Side note: This must seem like it was the longest trip in the world, especially when you consider that this is only the half way point. We really did pack in a lot of activities each day.)
Spectral morning

When I walked around the pond and into the woods this morning, I, too, vanished into the mist, wandering in a world that was familiarly unfamiliar.

It’s just about time to say goodbye. M and I had only one full day there, and we did as much as we could considering the weather.
A whirlwind weekend

Wishing you…

The house-sitter should be all settled in, ready to enjoy a few days by the pond and with the kitties. She’s going to have some nice weather. It should be nice back east too.
Thursday Travels: Leaving Greenwich

If you are a birder, the floating boardwalk over Bowley Pond is a great place to look for birds. I saw numerous birds, but couldn’t capture any photos of them as it was just too windy and wet.
