Green Gables



" . . . There's such a lot of different Annes in me. I sometimes think that is why I'm such a troublesome person. If i was just the one Anne, it would be ever so much more comfortable, but then it wouldn't be half so interesting."
--Anne of Green Gables
"It has always seemed to me. ever since early childhood, amid all the commonplaces of life, I was very near to a kingdom of ideal beauty. Between it and me hung only a thin veil. I could never draw it quite aside, but sometimes a wind fluttered it and I caught a glimpse of the enchanting realms beyond-only a glimpse-but those glimpses have always made life worthwhile."
--L. M. Montgomery, The Alpine Path

Bay of Fundy



With the highest vertical tidal range in the world, the Bay of Fundy gave us the opportunity . . .


to watch the monumental and mysterious tides go out. . .

. . . and come in! A full day's effort.


Culinary Delights




Seaside Villages



Natural Wonders





The world is a mist. And then the world is
minute and vast and clear. The tide
is higher or lower. He couldn't tell you which.
His beak is focused; he is preoccupied,

looking for something, something, something.
Poor bird, he is obsessed!
The millions of grains are black, white, tan, and gray
mixed with quartz grains, rose and amethyst.

--Elizabeth Bishop, "The Sandpiper"
