The Other Way

On the long Labour Day weekend in September, four of us girls hopped into the car for a road trip to Scrapbooking Cafe and a grand tour of some of the more southern areas of our province.

Our first stop was a very windy and remarkably beautiful Peggy's Cove. The lighthouse at Peggy's Cove has to be one of the most photographed landmarks in Nova Scotia.


and the fishing village town is just as photographically perfect.


After some well-deserved scrap-shopping and kitty love at Scrapbooking Cafe, the girls delighted in taking me to Mahone Bay for my first shot of the infamous three churches there. I've been told you can't call yourself a Nova Scotian photographer without a shot of this street, so I have now complied, but can't choose between the vertical and horizontal.



We then strolled the streets of Lunenburg, home of the Bluenose II, the Nova Scotian-built schooner portrayed on the Canadian ten-cent coin, and these charming park benches lining the street.


While I'm still partial to the northern part of the province, mostly for the sentimental reason of homesickness, it was awesome to explore some of the southern regions. We got some exercise and fresh air and spent too much money, but there were great people and great discoveries, and great times with a great bunch of girls!
