a place where nature, photography and writing meet
From butterflies to Nova Scotia once more…. A couple of days ago, I posted part one of a piece on Thomas’ Cove Coastal Reserve. This post picks up where where I left off after describing the cove, the geography, and the tidal action of the area. We’ve hiked there on four occasions during our last […]
Today was extraordinary for the butterfly activity here the farm. Since our arrival home a couple of days ago, I’ve been seeing many Monarchs (Danaus plexippus plexippus) — more than I’ve seen in any year in recent memory.
