One of my favourite signs on the trip. I always practice saying it aloud in funny voices. My kids love that. ;)
The tin men. There's a quilt here someday...
A wharf in Halifax.
The side of a building -- cool textures and colours.
Ship ropes.
The remains of a fire.
Inukshuks at Point Pleasant Park. I tried making one, but didn't have enough time. It's an exercise in patience!
Some creative soul painted the end of a wood piling that washed up on shore.
Rust. :)
Log weathered by the ocean.
Rocks and stonework. Quilt motif?
Oceanside.
Complementary colours.
Hope you enjoyed the view from my camera lens!
Your photos are beautiful, and you're on my home turf (albeit down the other end of the province!)...Welcome to Nova Scotia - hope you get a chance to see our beautiful Cabot Trail on Cape Breton...and if you're in the Pictou County area and want a great place to eat - try Murphy's Saltwater Cafe in Pictou on the waterfront - and make sure you save room for their Blueberry Grunt - one of the best desserts you'll ever taste!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are amazing! I feel like I can reach out and touch everything. And that wharf! I can almost smell it ......
ReplyDeletegreat textures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the moods and images. My mother is from the Maritime region, so I think it is in my heart despite my growing up in Alberta :)
ReplyDeleteHow pretty! Makes me wish the ocean/seaside even more. Love the weathered log, photo with the boat and the orange roof line!
ReplyDeleteOoooooh, love all of these photos! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I busted out laughing over that first sign!
Now I know one of your secrets to making beautiful quilts - you have a great eye. These photos are fantastic! The weathered log would make a perfect improvisational quilt a la Jean Wells (sorry, don't know how to type French accents on my phone).
ReplyDeleteloved all the textures. I think theres lots of quilts in your future...
ReplyDeleteM
