The Three Churches of Mahone Bay

I like the silent church before the service begins, better than any preaching. Ralph Waldo Emerson 

In the stillness of the early morning, the view of the three churches is breathtaking

I love the scenery in Mahone Bay, a picturesque little town on Nova Scotia’s south shore. People come from all over to see these three churches. I had plans to go to a service in each one of the churches over the summer with a friend, but unfortunately life got in the way. I'm a little anxious to see the inside of these magnificent buildings. I guess I'll have to wait.

The Ocean

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.~~~Mother Teresa

These photos were taken recently on a trip to the shore. Beautiful Crescent Beach. 

I love the white sandy beach!

Wile's Carding Mill, Bridgewater

Snow is so common that I have omitted to note its falling at least two days out of Three.
William Henry Ashley

With the new fallen snow in Bridgewater, I couldn't help but take a few photos of the old carding mill....Lovely!

 

There was a lot of water coming down over the dam.

  

Lonely

You can't get too much winter in the winter. ~~Robert Frost

I'm not so sure I agree with Robert Frost. This beaver dam at Whetstone Lake looks pretty lonely in the winter.

I love these oddities in nature. Here's a rock my husband found embedded into the root of a small tree. I think it's kind of neat!
