I thought the 2025 drought had killed all the flowers in my backyard, but nature showed me again how resilient plants can be.

A splash of purple and yellow amidst a sea of green – beautiful.

The Car Show

DSC0022

We stopped by Schoolhouse Brewery in Windsor, Nova Scotia, for a cold beer. Much to my delight, there was a car show happening in the parking lot: great beer, beautiful cars, trucks and vans.

Digby Breakwater

A 4k DJI drone-powered video of the breakwater protecting the harbour at Digby, Nova Scotia. The breakwater protects the harbour wharves from waves generated by strong winter nor’easters.

In 2007, construction of the 300 m breakwater began, using a traditional armour stone design. A wooden crib at the end of the breakwater is filled with ballast rock to provide optimal protection for the harbour during low tides.

In the distance, the ferry to Saint John, New Brunswick, can be seen in the terminal, near Digby Gut.

The first of its kind on the continent, the bridge features a box girder design, assembled from precast sections craned into place. Completed in 1972, the curving structure replaced a lower, narrower single-lane crossing from 1900 that opened to allow boats through.
