We haven't gone car-camping for ages - having our grandson Stosh visiting us during Nova Scotia's Natal Day holiday weekend was the perfect timing. Reservations were tight by the time we booked so camped on the Sunday and Monday nights, the first weekend of August. https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/canada/natal-day .

Such a treat for @hammerhead and I to share this space and time with Stosh.

Walking Headlands Trail, the second Thomas Cove Trail. It's just other-worldly beautiful!

Red Rocks on beach by Cape Chignecto Provincial Park (West Advocate, NS). Close to high tide, hikers off the beach.

Out for morning walk during low tide, Derryl (@hammerhead) 'nestled' into Old Wife.

Slick to walk on though surprisingly firm enough here to keep your ankles clean if you were careful. Stosh captured in the reflection of the setting sunbeam.

An evening walk with Stosh to check out the mud-flats left at low tide. "On a flood tide, 160 billion tonnes of seawater flows into the Bay of Fundy — more than four times the estimated combined flow of all the world's freshwater rivers during the same 6-hour interval. The vertical tidal range can be over 16 metres — giving the Bay of Fundy the highest tides in the world." A routine that does repeat itself 'like clockwork."
