Sometimes when I am walking on the Nova Scotia shore I imagine you strolling the shore over on your lil' island and the ocean that connects us. <br /><br />Just checked on line to see how big your coastal tides are and they are similar to ours on the Atlantic shore.<br /><br />BTW I also collect seaweed to spread on my garden.Sybilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944601364218561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-39295678767366389942014-12-28T08:29:04.372+00:002014-12-28T08:29:04.372+00:00the light is so beautiful , you had an very nice c...the light is so beautiful , you had an very nice christmas day , thanks for sharing , cheers from besançon:)Babzy.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726884546505964576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-78959851648003201392014-12-28T04:01:07.147+00:002014-12-28T04:01:07.147+00:00What a peaceful way to spend your time.
