Day 11: The Cabot Trail (Nova Scotia Highlands)
you can see ocean vistas, green hills the color of spring (in some cases they were almost yellow or turquoise!), moose barrens, bogs on the plateaus, rivers that look like root beer flowing, pink granite, crashing waves, lupine, lobster boats, and the Aspy fault line.

I’ve seen carnivorous pitcher plants before but never their flowers! check them out!
Day 9: Skyline Trail, Nova Scotia Highlands
We enjoyed this exceptional hike in the Nova Scotia Highlands.
Day 8: To Meat Cove, Nova Scotia
The fog rose from the ocean in a surreal way. The greens were very green, and you realize that July is their spring.
Day 7: Trip Food Photos (Part 1)
Since we were driving today, I thought I’d catch you up on what we’ve been eating.
Day 6: Bay of Fundy (High and Low Tide Photos)
First below you can see the requisite boats at low and high tide, them follow us out to the farthest low tide here, which is one kilometer out.
Day 5: Hopewell Rocks (Sea Stack Photos)
In the photos, you can see we started at high tide, and watched it go out, and finally explored around when the tide was low.
Day 4: Hike to Dickson Falls, New Brunswick (Photos)
It was moist and cool, and the gushing sound of the water was as soothing to the ears as the vivid green moss was to the eyes.
Day 2: Mount Desert Island (Photos and Plein Air Paintings)
We visit Sand Beach and Thunder Hole, painting at both.
