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 !!
