we find the mermaid who lost her purse
Rather unexpectedly, we discovered that we would have a net connection this weekend, so I’m just dashing this off before we head out for a day of hiking. I’m jumping ahead too — past Thomas Cove — but will return to that sometime soon. Instead, these are a couple of scenes from yesterday’s discoveries. We found two wonderful beaches in the Bridgewater area — Rissers Beach at the provincial park that goes by that name, and Crescent Beach, which is situated by the causeway to the LaHave Islands (see image below). Both are long, curving, fine sand beaches.
While at Rissers Beach, we discovered a large mermaid – perhaps even the same one who lost the purse that we found a couple of days ago (click on images for larger view).
At Rissers Beach, we also found an interesting chair growing out of a tree stump. It seems to be a shrine of some sort — perhaps a mermaid shrine, as there were many offerings of seashells and sand dollars placed upon it.
Well, we’re off to do some wandering. Will back….whenever we’re back ~
