So, there I am on the edges of Minas Basin, which is famous for its gigantic tidal surges. And I’m looking at a graffiti heart on a picnic table. That sounds about right.

Long Winters

In my part of Texas, a “hard winter” is one where the snow lasts for three days instead of one.

Everywhere we went in Nova Scotia, people told us about the hard winter they’d just come through. Let’s just say their definition is substantially different from mine.

And I’m guessing that the number of propane tanks is a hint about the way things are when winter arrives. Which is probably any minute now.

High Tide, Minas Basin

The only thing I remembered from my college geology class was that the Bay of Fundy has the largest tidal range in the world.

And so, because I knew you’d want to know, here’s what high tide looks like in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. (Although I realize that without the reference of what low tide looks like, this photo is relative useless.)
