\u00a0All good things must come to an end, but it was a bittersweet end to our time that the morning we left was the morning I had been waiting all summer for photography-wise. \u00a0As the sky brightened to announce the new day, mist rose from flat water, catching the light and transforming the earth into something magical. \u00a0Pink hues painted the world as the sun got closer to peeking over the horizon. Seeing and experiencing this is the reason to be up before the sun, camera or not. If you ever want a “magic button” on your camera, clicking your shutter at this time of day is as close as you’ll get. I had been up at dawn many times this summer, but clouds, wind, tides, light hadn’t come together until this morning. \u00a0We couldn’t postpone our return to the big city and we had a long drive ahead, so I took a couple of shots before I got into the car, then did my best to capture some of the beauty at highway speeds.<\/p>\n

Nature is unpredictable and we are at her whim. This summer will go down in our books as one of the windiest, which wasn’t ideal for the photos I was trying to capture, and it seemed that whenever the tides were right, I didn’t have the lighting or wind. \u00a0But every day is a new day, perhaps the day in which things come together. \u00a0If we don’t get out, there is 100% certainty that we won’t get the opportunities that we are looking for; when we do go out, we are going to \u00a0see a lot of misses, but the hits\u2026those make it worth the effort. \u00a0While it killed me to get into the car and leave this morning, at least I was able to see it before we left. And, the icing, I was able to get off a few shots as a memory.<\/p>\n

We have many more images and stories to tell of our time in Nova Scotia and as we are able to process content, this blog will continue to be updated. \u00a0Canada is a spectacular country and Nova Scotia is particularly close to our hearts. The more we see and discover, the more we want to explore.<\/p>\n

This is the country road that has us in New Brunswick, across the bay from our cottage. The cottages are to the right of this scene.<\/p><\/div>\n

And here’s the sun showing itself, soon to rid the land and water of the magical mist.<\/p><\/div>\n

What’s a country sendoff without getting stuck behind a farm vehicle at first light? Layers of fog hung in bands over the land.<\/p><\/div>\n

The sun is rising and is painting with golden light where it touches the the physical world.<\/p><\/div>\n

The bands of fog and mist take on rosy and golden hues before the sun rises high enough to warm the land and chase them away.<\/p><\/div>\n
