Kestrel Falcon


I guess I was looking out the window just the right time to see what I believe was a kestrel falcon.
I have never seen one before so it was awesome to see one today . Whatever the type of bird it was , it was beautiful and fun research to learn more about our feathered friends !!!!

Rough Waters

Today was the perfect day for a walk on the beach because it was full tide , crashing waves , just the right temperature but watching the boat bop up and down with the rhythm of the waves I thought I am so thankful that I am not a fisherman !!!!

Agate





Went to the beach again today and my daughter and I found these pieces of agate . I love to search the shores of the Fundy for rocks and rock formations , I consider them treasures from the Bay !!!!!

Low Tide Along The Fundy Shore


Wow, what a day to go for a walk along the shore's of the fundy. There was blue skies ,waterfalls , rock-hunting with the feel of Spring in the air. Your timing has to be just right because the tide has to low in order to walk back from where you started . I love the cliffs along this part of the Fundy Shore!!!!!!
