To the Eastern shore

The  second leg of our journey to the Eastern was  idyllic . The weather was grand and the stop at Joggins as intriguing as ever. I was thrilled to find a recent rock slide  and to discover—on my own some fabulous fossils.
Arriving at Seven Lakes was truly exciting for me. There are Lady Slippers, pink red and white ones growing on my lot. Across the road from my lot is a trail through the woods with gorgeous Silvergreen Bryum moss which is positively thrilling to see. Twenty minutes from my lot is Lawrencetown Beach! A little further on is the gorgeous Martinique Beach. Why I took no photos that day is beyond me but Molly and I will be going there often so count on getting some seaside shots.


The Maze at Joggins

Along the maze are dead ends with stories of extinctions in the last 300 million years

There were magnificent twin boulders on the side of the trail.
