Whimsical, but not Hopewell yet

I still have no idea how I'm going to blog Hopewell Rocks. Nor any of the many beaches were were on, since many beach photos look like many other beach photos and I wouldn't want to bore you. Maybe I'll save them for a brutally cold winter day. 

We had good weather for our trip, but we did make plans for days when it was raining. One of those days turned out to be at Resurgo Place, a museum of sorts in Moncton. The main hall is full of hands on exhibits for kids of all ages, and has some models and other displays. The whole museum was interesting, especially the section relating to the pre-European history of the area. We quite enjoyed it, although there was torrential rain as we left. Driving home was interesting, since some of the puddles were huge.

5. The idea behind this is to number places of interest on the map, and they give you a little wheeled cart with an iPad in it. Roll the cart over the map, and a short video plays that relates to that point of interest. Interesting idea, and I loved the map, but the idea was poorly executed. You had to pick the video for the point of interest by a colour code, as it didn't come up automatically. 

6. I like looking at ship models, and this one is incredibly detailed. I can barely imagine how much work went into this.

Yes, that's me, admiring the weather during a long exposure.

Off exploring a beach. This is Parlee again.

The weather rolling in as we speedwalked up Burnt Cape to find the Cannon Holes, unsuccessfully.

One of many beach photos. This happens to be Parlee Beach in Shediac, shortly after the parks crew cleaned out the garbage containers. It's actually part of a Provincial Park, and we were told that it's completely packed during the season.

Why ever didn't I publish this, and maybe I did

Flower and 90 days, or so ago

Landscape

Part of the view from Cornhill Nursery. Linda loved the place, and we had a pair of awesome wood fired pizza's for lunch during their harvest festival.
