Amherst Shore Provincial Park, Northumberland Shore, Nova Scotia

Amherst ShoreOn Monday, Steve and I went to visit our friend Glenn at his family's cottage near the Amherst Shore Provincial Park. Although the weather wasn't really cooperating with us, we did manage to take a lovely walk on the beach in the afternoon between showers.

Amherst ShoreTo my delight, Glenn showed me how to find a myriad of sea creatures in the red mud that lines the shore. We spotted baby crabs, star fishes, and more. Since it was low tide, we were able to walk through and around the puddles, squishing our bare feet in the soft mud. What fun!

Amherst ShoreAll day, Glenn's mom June spoiled us with yummy food, including the best shortbread cookies in the world. To top things off, we also played a merry round of 45s - a popular card game I grew up playing with my own family in the Annapolis Valley.

This was my first experience on the Northumberland Shore of Nova Scotia, but it certainly won't be my last.
