so much that a nosedive over the rock face
was the only answer...
Mr. Orangie slipped out of my mouth
and did a ricochet dance over the edge into
this mini-crevasse!
See...the split/divide just to the left
of camera man Jim...
(if you were beside him facing this way)
I saved Mr. Orangie from a fate
worse than death...!
Time to move on,
so we headed further along the rocks...
and found
this green area
click
with plenty of low lying vegetation...
I even found this wading pool
and since I was HOT
I jumped in for a cooling off session....weird colour!?
Want to see an interesting effect that a telescopic lens can do?
So first....
look at this picture above...

you see....plenty of rocks, water(bay), and then lighthouse.
Secondly...
you see...."me" playing on the rock with the bay and the lighthouse far in back.

not so much...that bay is still in between us...cool eh!
After all this excitement and playing
camera games....we decided it was time
to head back to the vehicle
over the scrub grasses and barrens...
and over the granite rocks
finally
a quick dip in my favourite outdoor pool
a retrieval
and
then
homeward bound!
homeward bound!

I hope you may have learned something new
and fresh that gives you an idea of what
coastal Nova Scotia is like...
if you click
you'll see more info on
Peggy's Cove
and maybe some day you may
decide to take 'er in.

PS...Mr Orangie ended up in a crevasse and now calls
the granite rocks
HOME!

DeleteNow I understand! You needed to save Mr. Orangie. I'm sorry you lost him, pretty girl, but I'm sure your daddies will get you a new one that is just as brightly-coloured and fun to play with.
ReplyDeleteOn the happy side, it looks like you had a great time. This is a beautiful place and if I lived there, I'd be hanging out there doing camera tricks, too.
Hey Martha...the view within the little village is spectacular as well...small wooden frames buildings, art everywhere, church and much more leaping rocks!!Love it there!
DeleteRon
Alas poor Orangie but you never know he may turn up one day washed ashore. As always stunning pictures. You made us want to go for a dip too. Happy day to you all.

DeleteWell, Mr. Orangie picked a very nice home. Did you see any crabs? I just love your swimming pools!
ReplyDeleteWe saw 1 crab shell...one lonely crab shell...the pools were every where and so much fun!
DeleteOh no! Mr Orangie is gone??!!!!
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
That is a very dramatic coast.
Yes...the North Atlantic is rough and rugged...with sandy/small rock beaches interspersed....it's a tough choice some days...Cheers!
DeleteOh no, Mr. Orangie! Well, I'm glad it was him rather than you. Seeing you diving for him scared me just a little!
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought that you were on vacation in Scotland based on the photos. That's a cool part of your homeland!
New Scotand = Nova Scotia........how about that! You are very wise and perceptive KB>>>LOVE!
DeleteOh no! Not Mr. Orangie!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating place. I really enjoyed reading about the granite barrens.
Terry...I knew you'd like this...Miss Cartographer Lady!
DeleteSorry for Mr. Orangie's demise! Oh, I've been away too long and missed your wonderful furriness, Sophie! xo
ReplyDeleteI'll be here, so don't fret...you've got a little baby to spend all your time with...a sweet little bundle of JOY!
DeleteOh gosh,, well I am glad to know everyone was okay and did not fall in the ocean.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if a big wave might come sometime and free mr orange.. and then mr orange might float away to the oceans in other lands? I will look for it on my beach next time I go to my ocean.
All the tricks with your camera are soo cool!
love
tweedles
You just never know what will wash up on a beach...a green bucket last week full of potential stories and love from across the waters!
DeleteAs a Geologist, I love rocks. That place looks awesome. I am glad your ball wasn't lost forever :)
ReplyDeleteJessica...I just came back from a walk with Sophie at the boardwalk and saw a surf car with Oregon licence plate...I thought of you and the gang...but alas this girl's doggy was a Border Collie...Cheers!
DeleteSorry about Mr Orangie - will your Daddies get you a new one? I expect he will make a friend with a crab or something. xxx
ReplyDeleteI have a couple more tucked away...phew!
DeleteYou mean, after that daring rescue, you lost him again!
ReplyDeleteIt's so beautiful there. What a wonderful place to explore (and play)!
Isn't it always the way....Mr. O is a slippery feller!
DeleteThank god that Mr Orangerie was saved! Who could imagine life without him?
ReplyDeleteI have to say that the thing you did with the telescopic lens was brilliant. I would never have imagined it without seeing what you did .... the dogs danglies!
I try, Annie...I try to please...I see it worked...!
