The market is another apparently genuine local market, which we love. We were able to get some seafood for supper (scallops, halibut cheeks), and a few other odds and ends:
After we left Wolfville we took the scenic route home. Yes, more scenery I'm afraid... :))
At Kingsport there is a launch ramp, a rarity for the Midas Basin due to the extreme tides. The tide was on its way out when we were there, and fishermen were scurrying back to land while they could:
The camera angle flattened this, but it's quite a long and steep launch ramp |
We love the view the bungalow with the porch pillars would get |
Playing Fetch at the seashore with your Yellow Lab, Ah Memories! |
He just wouldn't quit |
Some potato fields are blossoming now. Some aren't, but it seems time they should be:
Great views from the potato field |
Almost back to the Blomidon campground, we found the reason there are often cars parked in this area. Beach access and more Lab play in beautiful surroundings:
Here was part of supper, the market seafood, scallops and halibut cheeks. Never had halibut cheeks before, just as tasty as the scallops:
A feature of the park is the posting of park poetry in the various washrooms. Here are a couple of samples:
Looks like a nice market. You're grtting some good weather too.
ReplyDeleteGood weather is always a bonus at least, and can sometimes make or break a trip. We've sure had our share of good weather this time.
DeleteThe market looks quite nice love scallops, the haddock cheeks sound interesting, enjoy the wonderful weather.
ReplyDeleteA little typo, they were halibut cheeks (corrected now). The halibut was great. We enjoyed both the halibut and the scallops. We do them very simply, just fried with some butter.
DeleteThat was a lovely day!
ReplyDeleteYour weather seems lovely out there! Hot here again,,, hopefully only a few days!
Lovely scenery,, the sea food looks yummy on ur stove!
Enjoy ur sunday!
The hot weather has arrived here today for a couple of days, but the coastal areas are still cool. One more reason to hug the coast.
DeleteThose poems sound just like something from Tolkien.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe a cowboy poet?
DeleteBeautiful countryside. Didn't know you were blogging. I've been lax on my reading this year. I'm hoping to make it to the southwest this winter. Maybe see you two again.
ReplyDeleteHi Doug, good to hear from you. We expect to head southwest this winter, it would be nice to meet up with you again. It should be less of a surprise for you this time eh! Gord.
