Molly and I have been on the beaches daily and we also watch the world awaken around us. Neil Downey, a staff member at Seven Lakes has introduced us to woodland flora and shown me where many flowers lie hidden from unobservant eyes. As all of you know Spring is the time … for me—the time to watch the earliest flowers rise and warm in the sun. It is the time to watch buds swell, change colour, and unfurl to shade the later emergent ones like orchids.
It occurred to me — and I told Molly so today as we drove the coastal road, that places like, Grand Desert Beach, Chezzetcook, Petpezwick, Sheet Harbour, Clam Harbour, Taylor Head, have given "strength to my bones”. She agreed.
We met a woman at Clam Harbour this morning— home for a visit from Montreal. She said to me after warm greetings one to the other, “Oh! I can just feel my soul getting free! Can’t you? “ “Yes. I believe I can.” I responded. “Yes, I do believe I can.”
Here are a few beauties I shot yesterday and Molly and I are about to hit the trails now that in search of.... Thanks Neil for sharing the natural beauty of this land.
