I love my Family, this is only a few of them.

My daughter and I were out for a walk and I decided to make my own little movie out of it, hope you enjoy.

Annual Halls Harbour Visit

I know I said we were discovering new places this summer and we have been to Halls Harbour many times, but what made this time different was that we walked in the opposite direction that we are use to and we seen things we have never seen before or knew existed!  So here we go.
Halls Harbour, Nova Scotia

Many people come here, just to look around, walk the beach, or eat at the restaurant.

The big rocks are to prevent the water from eroding the banks.

Peter enjoying his day.


It is usually a little cooler over here, but not on this day.

The tide was out.

The tide will fill this area in.

Love my day trips.






Cute one.

Quite a big squirrell.

A small wishing well lighthouse.




This is an old General Store.  You would think you were stepping back in time.

The room was full of different, interesting signs.



We usually walk on the other side of that wharf.

Some very nice cottages along the banks.


I think that looks like an angel standing beside me on the right.




Very different rocks.


This was awesome!  And there was a cave in it!


You can't see this very well, but it is Cape Split off in the distance.

An eagle was flying overhead.








We found this very interesting cottage when we were leaving.  

Full moon tonight.

Hike at the Gaff Trail

Our next summer adventure was a hike at the Gaff Trail.  We found out about this trail when we were visiting the Hirtles Beach.  The hike wasn't to long which made it good.

We normally are off somewhere  for our Anniversary, but this year we stuck with the seeing new things theme and for our 29th we decided to hike this trail that we found when we were visiting Hirtles Beach.

It was a very windy day.

The waves weren't quite as high as the last time we were here.

My hubby, Peter.

The tide is on its way in.

The rocks are round, from the water beating over them.  They make good rocks to right saying on, which I have a few.

I'm ready to go.






Starting up the trail, it was well looked after.

Okay we will be careful.

I was happy with this trail, you have some scenery along the way.




Heading around the other side.

Looked like alot of slate rock.  I wouldn't want to fall down there.

Break time, to check out the beauty.

And pictures of course.

The wind blew so hard, it looked like I had a pony tail. haha.


As we traveled along there were a bunch of rocks that different people must have done when they travelled by.  Like those rocks that they say, "So they will know we were here", I wanted to work on one, maybe next time.

This is what I mean.

I felt like I was on Survivor, and walking the memory trail.

This one was different.



The sun was hitting the water just right at this point.

It was so pretty.

This was along the trail.


And this chair, out in the middle of no-where, so cool.


So of course I had to sit in it.



I didn't know why this was there, and wasn't about to find out, haha.

Okay back in the woods we go.

The walkway was done so well.


Enjoying a little rest after we finished.  Now we have to walk back up the beach for like 10 minutes.
