Catching up

We got back from Canada last month and had a bunch of things to take care of, including an injured kitty. Peanut is fine now, things are as normal as they ever are, and I'm playing 'Catch Up' and posting a few favorite photos from our latest visit. Enjoy!

This is at French Fort Cove in Miramichi. There are picnic spots, playgrounds, boat rentals and trails to explore. The trail we took this day led us around the pond and out to the covered bridge. While we were walking around the pond we stopped a few times to snap the Touch-Me-Nots and admire the ducks. Then I found a pile of Cheerios that someone had left on a rock and was able to have a little fun feeding the fowl! The picture below was taken before the duck snacks disturbed the peace...

If you look closely there's a spot of blue peeking out from under the wings of four birds.  

These next shots were taken at the Irving Eco-Centre / La Dune de Bouctouche, a beautiful 12 km stretch of dune. We started on the boardwalk with our shoes on...

 

It didn't take us long to get rid of the footwear and get some sand between our toes!

  

 Say, "fromage!"

We walked along the dunes for miles without encountering any other people. If we had known how amazing this place was, we would have packed a lunch and brought a blanket! Next time we'll plan to spend the entire day.

On the stroll back I found this in the sand:

...what a great day.
