NEW DISCOVERY PT.3

Well folks, you finally made it to the end of the boardwalk.

Trying a DOODLE'S PATIENCE

as all DOODLE OWNERS know

can be mighty difficult

to say the last.

OK then it looks like Jim knows what I want everyone to do,

so let's follow him.

I'm down here now!

It's only a few cobbles

Really!

Not that difficult to maneuver.

Gingerly!

Yup, that's my EVER-PATIENT DADDY JIM!

(pleading guilty Louise for borrowing your descriptive words)

The cobbles are numerous, on a major decline and slippery

but hey if I can manage them well ~~

even you could.

SMILE!

Someone has his camera on you!

This is the Cobble Beach that we found

in this ecosystem along our shoreline the other day.

We plan on returning when the waves are more conducive to surfing

because I just know it will be eye-popping.

Alas there's a surfer who passed us on our return to the car.

Late January in Nova Scotia 

there are rugged people out there folks

who challenge themselves.

Maybe there's something you need to challenge.

NEW DISCOVERY PT. 2

 OK then, back to my new discovery surprise.

Are you still with me?

I see that you are.

This is a very up close long range view 

in front of me as I meander

out the boardwalk

at the first left-hand turn 

that we meet.

The distant view is of MacDonald House

where my Daddy Jim

has his vintage Mid-Century Maniac Shop.

The white building on the left perched on that hill.

This is the first left-hand turn on the boardwalk

slightly topsy turvy just for fun.

The bog pond is frozen solid

perched above the Atlantic Ocean.

I thought about going on the ice

but the guys nixed that mighty quickly.

What's with them anyway?

 On the return along this section I saw this dead tree trunk

which for all intents and purposes looks very much like a heron to me.

What do you think?

Jim is keeping an eye on me 

because I am speedy as in DOODLE FAST.

(I am out of sight at this point which for some reason always bothers the guys).

~~

I smell a beach

well at least that is what it smells like to me.

More to come!

NEW DISCOVERY PT. 1

Hi Ho!

We have discovered a new "to us" boardwalk, trail

along an area where plenty of surfers surf.

This is the sign to the entrance

with plenty of information for all types of surfers.

Follow me and uhm,

H-U-R-R-YYYYYY!

There's always one straggler!

Always!

Jimbo, haven't you taken enough photos?

I know this one behind me (as in Daddy Ron)

is totally OCD about his photo-taking.

~~

Come on now 

I have to show everyone this place!

Next time!

~~ ON THE WING ~~

Sauntering slowly and listening with intent 

Jim and I head into the park

ending up at the pond 

just 5 minutes into the park

filled with

WINGS

flitting every where

this amazing creature with

4 wings

1/2 transparent and 1/2 chocolate brown

the pond water was so still mirror-like

with hundreds of speedy dragonflies

dodging each other and us

Do you see the double attached dragonflies 

on the right-hand side with the reflection below?

Such is the speed I was telling you about.

No one was sitting still for our cameras today.

So close these 2 were,

I suspect they were mating

After leaving and returning to
 MacDonald Hill
for fresh cool air

this seagull soared by
heading across the expanse
into the mist.

Wings of all sorts today!

Someday I will fly on the breezes like

all my winged friends!
