Watery Wednesday: Baddeck, Nova Scotia

Photos by Kay Davies

It was just one of those days during my solo cross-Canada train and rental-car trip last year. I set out to find the Alexander Graham Bell Museum, which is supposed to be located somewhere near this corner in the town of  Baddeck on  beautiful Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. However, when I saw the water, I just had to stop the car and snap a couple of photos, without thinking of composition or crooked power poles (or maybe telephone poles, near the Bell museum). I was just thinking, "The water is so beautiful. I love it."

Three of Canada's Maritime Provinces

Above and below, just off the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia.

Above, even a low Bay of Fundy tide can be seen rushing upriver in Truro, Nova Scotia. Below, the lovely, peaceful river before the tidal bore caused it to flow upstream.

Above, the College of Piping and Celtic Peforming Arts in Summerside, Prince Edward Island. Below, the unfittie is about to enjoy her first PEI lobster.

Below, the Hopewell Rocks in New Brunswick, sculpted by wind and water. People (not the unfittie) can walk out to the rocks at low tide if they are careful not to get stranded when the famous Bay of Fundy tide comes roaring in.

Below, I tried to set the hotel alarm clock when staying in Moncton, New Brunswick, but didn't do something right, because I overslept by a few minutes and missed seeing the tidal bore at the foot of King Street. There's always something to photograph in the Maritimes, however. Now that I've almost finished "doing" NB, PEI and NS, it's back home soon to nag my husband about going to Newfoundland together, not this year, but maybe next.
