Fourth in the New Brunswick series

'Touring New Brunswick * Next Stop * Lobster at Alma * Fundy Shore'

1. Allo from Bouctouche! 'La Sagouine' A Proud Canadian Acadian Triumph
2. Fundy Flower Pots * New Brunswick * Hopewell Rocks
3. New Brunswick's Fundy Countryside * Gentle Panoramics & Wildflowers

As mentioned previously, there were so many marvelous photo ops in the Maritimes, that the camera became secondary to my firsthand enjoyment of the wonders around me, from which I absorbed the fullness of the soul-filling experience.

This day started with leaving Bouctouche, on through Moncton, Larry Estabrooks home town, where the heavens were dumping that day. I almost turned back to Halifax, but pressed on, with great weather resulting as I progressed.

I have a habit of photographing the road ahead on my travels, just loving the way they charm me with the adventures they hold,especially twisty ones like this in the rural Fundy countryside.

From Hopewell Rocks, the Fundy Flower Pots, and a heavenly scented floral drive, the landscape abruptly changed at the delighful fishing village, turned tourist retreat, of Alma, NB.

At 6pm, it was a perfect summer evening, with the sun blazing ever so pleasantly in that delicious way of feeling like a hug caressing bare shoulders. Getting out of my car, the warm rays and sea air put the most delighted smile on my face. Alma is a wonderful lobster fishing / resort village at the gateway to Fundy National Park.

Dinner time it was - and thrilled at the prospect of lobster I crossed the street where I planned to sit outside, enjoy the scenery, sun - and lobster. 3 MINUTES LATE! They were closed, so I settled on ice cream.

(That is Nova Scotia across the Bay)

The girl at the stand positively LOADED my cone with ice cream, which nicely compensated for missing out on the lobster! Quite happily, I enjoyed the village, ice cream in hand - just a girl again.

mhmm, that's my head. The deep red of these poppies flagged me down, but didn't photograph as intensely as hoped.

The day ended at the charming old seaside village of St. Martins, the gateway to the Fundy Parkway, a spectacular piece of New Brunswick coastline formerly owned by Randolph Hearst.

The photo disappointedly doesn't begin to relate the serene display of peaceful calm of this pastel evening. In awe, I joined a couple from France on the sand with whom I silently breathed in the stillness. Again, that's Nova Scotia way off in the distance, across the Bay of Fundy.

ONWARD >>> next, the charming bayside ville of St Martins, then the Fundy Parkway !!

Enthralled with the day of driving from Moncton (which was pouring buckets!) to the Fundy Shores, then clambering down to the Bay of Fundy's, Fundy Flower Pots, the beautiful scenic drive offered an alternate 'loop' which I took - and so glad I did.

(Continuing From Fundy Flower Pots * New Brunswick * Hopewell Rocks - Onward!)

The country scenics along Hwy 915 of New Brunswick's Fundy rural countryside was heady with wildflowers beyond belief, charming gentle panoramics, farms and country houses.

The air was positively rich and sweet with the intoxicatingly seductive scent of wildflowers! It felt so like heaven!!!! Among the many varieties are the Yellow Indian Paintbrush, Fireweed, Pearly Everlasting, some Delphinium and many quite different to me, that I didn't know.

Stage This Old House!

I couldn't help but be charmed by the mystery of this old shingle farmhouse along the roadside. One has to wonder what happened with this abandoned place; everything still in place, curtains whipped and shredded by winds ... for how long? Or was it simply left for tourists like me? The yellow Indian Paintbrush grows everywhere in the Maritimes.

There were many lovely farms and country homes along this route, but this one with its slighly eccentric character appealed the most!

More roads winding on ahead.....

My second rental car, a Hundai Accent was not as preferred as the awesomely peppy and fuel efficient Toyota Yaris I had previously.

Onward to Alma, then St. Martins New Brunswick!!

Driving through Moncton in rain that was pelting down buckets, I just kept on track, by this time getting used to sensing the tempestuously unpredictable Maritime weather. I lucked out, because by the time I got to the Fundy Shore, the sun was shining.

While the photos show gray skies in the distance, on the NB side of Fundy, the sun really was nice ! The resulting flat light however was too reflective for great shots.

The Fundy Shore is not to be missed when traveling New Brunswick!

Having heard of the Bay of Fundy since I was a child, it was a must to go on the first leg of my Maritime Summer in Nova Scotia. While the NS side of the very large Bay was spectacular, the NB side I found even more breathtaking.

Along with the famous red shores typical in the Martimes, also found here are the spectacular sculptural formations, naturally carved by the world's highest tides that Fundy is famous for.

Hopewell Rocks including the 'Flower Pots' are likely the most well known among the formations around the Bay.

Be prepared for quite a hike down, then back up! OR you can take a shuttle one way, or both ways. I walked needing the excercise, having been driving all day. For some odd reason it seemed harder going down than coming back up - figure that!

ONWARD >>>

To the next leg of the New Brunswick Bay of Fundy Journey....
