Not exactly what I had in mind. The day after the snow we drove into town for errands under glowering wintry skies, snow all around and, way in the distance to the south, we could see a strip of blue sky so we decided to drive in that direction. Once we got out into the countryside, it was very beautiful with the fall colours against the snow and when we finally emerged into sunshine, the colours really popped.
On a very windy but sunny day, we took a drive along the north coast. Once, we got out of the car to take a walk but were quickly driven back inside by the cold, strong wind.
On another one of the rare, sunny, less cold days we went for a walk on the Fairmont Trail, a short drive from Antigonish.
It's a hike we did last year that I enjoyed. What with all the rain, and snow, it was wet and mucky and the trail was washed out in places, but the colours more than compensated for the wetness.
Interesting and unusual fungal growths we encountered, exclusively on one fallen tree.
Cape Breton coming up..............
