More pics from an autumn day

I would have like to have stopped a few more places to snap some pictures on my drive home but since it was the Friday of a long weekend, the traffic was horrendous.  This is Thanksgiving weekend in Canada and I think everyone left work early on Friday and were on the highway!  So randomly pulling over to the shoulder of the road to take random photos was like taking my life in my hands.  But here are a few.

I drove though the Annapolis Valley which is beautiful farm land and orchards everywhere.  I couldn't help but stop and snap this huge field of pumpkins.
And despite a significant detour out of my way, I couldn't help but stop in Mahone Bay.  This is one of the most beautiful little seaside towns you will ever find. 
Here are the famous 3 churches on the Bay

And a few more images around town

There are many quaint and unique little shops, but I really didn't wanted to be pushing my luck.  I was tired and it was time to head for home, so I wouldn't be fighting traffic in the dark.  But it was definately a nice way to end my trip.

Tomorrow I hope to finish binding a few projects while the Thanksgiving turkey cooks.

  5. You must have had a fabulous drive in that bit of heaven. I have never visited there and was so impressed with the photos I went to check the area out on Google Earth for a poorman's vacation :) Makes me want to jump on an airplane and come for a visit. Any rug camps in that area? I'd love to plan a future trip out that way for real.

  10. Have a very happy Thanksgiving. How nice to have it so early, in October. Your pictures are beautiful. I love that picture of the three churches, oh and the fields of pumpkins. I have entered you in the drawing. I think the hardest thing is wishing I could just send something for everyone, I bet that was hard for you to pick.
    So glad you are home now, I really did miss your posts and your comments.

  11. Absolutely gorgeous pictures, Kim...Love all of them. You are a born photographer. My pictures always lack something and I don't know what it is....probably a better camera.

    Hope you enjoy that turkey. Happy Thanksgiving....

  12. Good Morning Kim! Google just munched my comment! Bah! I was telling you that you live in a beautiful place and those shots of the pumpkins and the round bale belong on a calendar or on an Autumn issue of a country magazine. The shot of the three churches on the bay is stunning, seriously what a great capture! That little yellow row boat! I want it!
