a place where nature, photography and writing meet
After our hike to Wards Falls, we stopped off at the Joggins fossil cliffs before returning to Amherst. We’ve visited the cliffs several times in the past, but this time we came to walk the beaches and enjoy the incredible vistas rather than look for fossils (see above – click for larger view).

We’re spending the night in Rimouski, and will drive on […]
