More from Peggy’s Cove
On June 3, 2018, we visited Peggy’s Cove in Nova Scotia.
Supplementing the pictures from there that I showed last year are the ones in today’s anniversary post.

Portraits of Wildflowers 
So many textures. I particularly like the second and fourth photos, with a seemingly out of place element or an unusual detail adding interest to the images. I like the ‘bearded rock’ in the first photo, too.

Just call me Mr. Texture—at least for this post. Those seemingly out-of-place elements in the second and fourth photographs are indeed what attracted me to take those pictures. As for what you said about the first, it occurs to me that I carry a bearded “rock” around with me all the time.

So much so that someone could write a text about all the textures on the Atlantic coast of the Maritime Provinces and Maine.

I’ll interpret your second comment in the context of your first comment and my reply to it.

Somehow it looks like WP doesn’t do smilies any more. My comment was supposed to be one.

I confess to ignorance when it comes to emojis, whether on WordPress or elsewhere.

It used to be so easy: put in a “:” and a “)” and you got a “smiling face” – but no longer.

I found that the page at
https://emojipedia.org/grinning-face-with-smiling-eyes/
lets you click the Copy button and paste a grinning face wherever you want: 😁
While that’s not as direct as a keyboard combination, it’s not too onerous, especially if you bookmark that Internet page. What’s more, at
https://emojipedia.org/people/
you get a slew of variations on the theme, so you’d seldom have to repeat an emoji.

On land scraped from a descending continental plate. Nova Scotia is on our list of places to visit. Thanks for these memories, well done, Steve.

You’re welcome. It took seven decades for this someone who grew up in New York to finally make it to the Maritime Provinces. You should go for it. I’d also gladly return, given how many more scenic places there we didn’t have time to visit.

I love these, and I can tell you love the place. It shows. The second photo, with the waving grasses and that one rock – perfection.

Yeah, I went a bit crazy scampering over the rocks at Peggy’s Cove. Most visitors are drawn to the lighthouse there, but not me. I have to wonder if someone tossed that rock into all that brown waviness in the second picture, or if the rock ended up there through natural causes.
