Annapolis Valley and Harvest Moon Trail bike ride.

This was (probably) our last long trip (of the year) as the weather will be turning cold soon. (Why do I think that makes me sound like I think I'm a rock star?)
It was absolutely gorgeous with the unseasonal warmth and fall colours. It was my longest so far, at 56km, or 35 miles. We had a delicious plant based lunch in Wolfville, sitting on the patio outside the restaurant. A bit windy, but it wasn't cold.
After that we made our way down the Harvest Moon Trail to Grand Pré and Evangeline Beach where we sat and admired the Bay. On the road we were almost dive bombed by lots of screeching bald eagles. (They should have much louder cries for their size, I think.)

The ride was often into that headwind, but sometimes behind us, which was nice!

The video was taken in Lower Canard overlooking the Habitant River and the Minas Basin, part of the Bay of Fundy. We were not far from home. Photos of the map and part of the trail are in the first comment.

A quick post by way of #Introduction as I am moving here from a different instance. My bio is mostly about my turning work, but I am also interested in music of most genres, particularly #EnglishFolk or #traditionalMusic (I play the button accordion) and #classicalMusic .
All my posts can be found with the hashtag #StevenKPosts
And for those who would like to view a short #documentary about my turning work, here is

Our local Global Petfoods Store in New Minas had a truck drive straight into the store today, through the glass store front. It is senior's day today, their busiest day of the month, so it was a miracle no one was injured.
How does this happen? It's in a mini mall and looks like it might have been intentional, but I am only guessing.
I'm only si glad none of the sweet folks who work there, or customers was harmed.

Wandering along small country roads and past farmyards in the area leads us to really lovely vistas.

I posted this on the old instance, so don't want to lose it.

A rocky shoreline with patches of light snow between the rocks stretches across ahead of us from the bottom left of the frame to the middle, 3/4 of the way along to the right. The distance shows a low hill against a cloudy sky. There is grey brown water to the right of the shoreline.

We went on a great bike ride with friends yesterday. The whole thing was about 47 km (~29 miles) but took most of the day as we were out to enjoy ourselves and mostly had the power off.
There are some great biking routes in the #AnnapolisValley and some of this was on the #RailsToTrails from Greenwich to #GrandPre though #Wolfvile
Photos were taken by our friends, thanks to them for sharing!

A map showing the route in green. The shore of a bay is on the right, with the area of the highest tides in the world showing exposed mud as the tide is out.
A concrete path with steps leading down and an a-frame stone building at the end. There are flower planters with green and white plants on either side of the path. A cyclist is on the path with another in the shadows on the left.
An emerald green grassy stretch leads to an old, huge grey-green leaved willow tree with a picnic table underneath. there is a dark green hedge on the right. Two people are wheeling their bikes towards the tree.
A grey gravel path stretches ahead with grass and bushes on either side. There are two people on bikes cycling away from us on the path. It is sunny as we see the shadows on the path.

Kingsport Beach

The end of summer is coming faster than I want. In fact we haven't really had much of a summer at all. I think I overslept that morning! However, no doubt there are still children playing at the water's edge in #Kingsport, #NovaScotia as in this dreamy scene.

Have a lovely week, FediFriends.

A scene of 7 adults and children in the distance spread out along the edge of a beach. There is a yellow green grassy foreground, with the grey-blue water blending into the misty grey blue cloudy sky.

The other night we cycled to Kingsport on the #MinasBasin off the Bay of Fundy. It was a lovely evening and not a long ride,but the traffic on the road we took home (and some of the way there) had more traffic than we are comfortable with.The beach was quiet and the sunset was lovely, turning to deep red streaks as we made our way home.

A pale sunset sky of pink and white clouds fans out over a stretch of water at very low tide, with a grassy shore on the right side. There are trees and a house in the distance, to the right of the photo. Directly in front are white wildflowers and rocks.

A rock, in Jubilee Park, which hides the time capsule. It reads... Each generation plays its best upon this stage; This stage remains. The actors change; it was theirs and now is thine Sealed in 2000. To be opened in 2022 & 2097.
