Realizing that a nor'easter was skirting our province today
we happened to visit Eastern Passage
another of our coastal communities near the city
The wave action was relentless, strong and unforgiving
This shoreline is covered in huge rocks making it difficult to traverse
and with the onslaught of the waves no one in their right mind wanted to be down there.
This will show you the waves persistent in their crashing and churning of the shoreline
With the constant deluge of whitecaps and rolling waves on one side of the boardwalk
we decided to seek refuge on the other side out of the force of the wind.
Oh joy ~~~ I remember this grassy section from last summer's visit
and
with Mr. Orangie
and use of my Doodle GPS
I am able to position MacNab's Island to the left
Eastern Passage to the right
and
The City of Halifax in the far distance.
such beautiful photos!

ReplyDeleteEvery changing oceans and sounds ~~~ I'll make some more vids for you my Prairie Lass!
DeleteLove that sound of the waves crashing. And it looks all silvery.
ReplyDeleteXXXOOO Daisy, Bella & Roxy
Silvery like metal almost ~~~ the light/mist/fog/wind always help to paint a new picture!
DeleteCheers mates!
Sophie Doodle Full of OOdles here!
Hahaha...love that Doodle GPS. Maybe you can market it!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, as always. You and your boys live such an fun and adventurous life!
Martha ~~~ I have my routine set from when I wake up in the morning until I go to SleepsVille. I know when it's time to get the guys up and at 'em. I just got Ron out to the backyard and it was all worth it because ~~~ DRUM ROLL ~~~ he discovered snowdrops ~~~ the 1st sign of SPRING!! So,my GPS is always on high frequency!!
DeleteHappy almost spring!!
What a beautiful beach. Lovely shots!
ReplyDeleteWe happened upon this Mother Nature EXTRAVAGANZA(with RuPaul intonation) ~~~ so click click click! Also saw a fleet of fishing boats I want o go back and capture.
DeleteIt sure is pretty but looks freezing Sophie. Cool benches
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Those benches are dedicated to some people who love this boardwalk and made many friends here. Their names are inscribed on the plaques attached. So lovely!
DeleteHui-jui-jui! Good you stayed save. :)))
ReplyDeleteÄhm, you could please come over and put the bitey on my stupid boss. *lol*
Have a grrreat weekend.
I'm sending bitey vibes over to your boss ~~~ tell them to come see me and I'll show them a thing or two ~~~ cutbacks are not fair. I know it's happening everywhere but for Pete's sake if someone can do the job well and they are available ~~~ Well Hello!!!
DeleteIt sure looks windy all the grass is flattened, bet it blew the curls away.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature built a strong blow this time on our shores ~~~ my curls are now floating out at sea! winkers!
DeleteHappy Birthday again!
The rocks in the first picture are just gorgeous! They must feel smooth under your feets, Sophie!
ReplyDeleteWe love the sound of the surf!
Love ya lots,
Mitch and Molly
Yes the rocks are very smooth and slippery when wet ~~~ caution always! Otherwise, they make create garden stones or building blocks for when you are sitting on the beach when it's sunny of course and you want to build something. Very enjoyable!
DeleteYeah the wind blew a ton
ReplyDeleteYesterday under our sun
The cat watched the leave go
To and fro
Of course I don't get to go to that giant litter box known as the beach
With all that sand and grime I'd need too much bleach
My hair(all gone now!)
Deleteused to hold the sand in wow!
a shake here
a shake there
laying the sand bare
all over the living chair
and sofa and floor and carpets and.....!
Hi Ron and Sophie,
ReplyDeleteI am sure doodle GPS must be quite accurate! Pictures are wonderful and the video so beautiful, the sound of the Ocean would send me asleep in seconds! Have a good weekend.
(We are gardening like mad here, 15°c and sun - I am on a tea break!!)
Ivan
I'm so jealous ~~~ you are in your garden ~~~ well at least I saw some snowdrops popping through this morning as Sophie zoomed by the bed. I keep telling her to be careful ~~~ not into listening mode at all these days with SPRING approaching. That's OK it's her backyard too.
DeleteRon
PS sent you an email about your location..Sophie made me!
These pictures are beautiful...
ReplyDeleteWelcome ~~~ I am always happy to include new friends into Sophie's Doodle World!
DeletePoets are always welcome!
Ron
I love the rocky beach. A pain to along, for sure but so beautiful to look at.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean ~~~ so standing at a safe distance does the trick ~~~ now take a deep breath inhale and just look!
DeleteI loved listening to the waves. There's nothing quite like that sound.
ReplyDeleteThe waves/sounds help to clear out the cobwebs and refresh mind/body and soul! ALways works for us!
DeleteHugs Terry!
Beautiful stills and video. Love the rocky shoreline and the crashing waves.
ReplyDeleteWe are blessed with shoreline ~~~ with all types of beaches, trails, meadows and cliffs surrounding our province ~~~ we love it!
DeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteNow if I could just get my Humans to bring me to Nova Scotia to run on the shores with you! What fun we could have!
Y'all come by now,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Listen Up, Hawk ~~~ when , not if, you pawrents jump in the car and drive for hours to my house then we will definitely run the beaches ~~~ August is the best month for warmth, just remember that, OK!!
DeleteSophie "waiting patiently here for you" Doodle!
