TID BITS

As the degerees flash by, our attention has been taken by:

 The largest wooden church in North America, sustained by the small town of Church Point.

The Hopwell Rocks which are quite commercial and tidal

The clock at the Sackville City Hall. What can I say? All hands in deck?, Where's the second hand store?, It's a matter of a pinion?

The Archives at the University of New Brunswick where Eswyn's War Bride research will be kept.

Nearby, the Brydon Jack Observatory, the first "professional" observatory in Canada.

Carolyn dodges the world's largest Axe at Nacawik

Bees nest in a road sign on New Brunswick Highway 2

Happy Phase at a trout farm and campground near Sunderland.

Wasaga Beach, where you can have funnel cake for breakfast....

And scavaging of all kinds starts right after Labour Day.

At Sauble Beach, I ran into one of my Canadome designs from the '70s. This system, which was patented and manufactured by National Shieldweld and was going to house the world, has fetched up as a Used Used Store. The shell structure is in great shape for 40 years of hard winters.

Sauble Beach bird takes flight.

Lighthouses new and old at Cabot Point on the Bruce Peninsula. The Bruce is a place we could have explored for weeks. The trouble with travel is movement.

And for Great Grand-daughter Julia, who collects carniverous plants, a Pitcher Plant in the Dorcas Point Fen. As the Jules would explain, the insects try to land on the flowers, slide off, fall into the pitchers from which there is no escape and make up for lack of nutrients in the bog. FEED ME SEYMOUR!

Until we blog again....
