Though water is a constant feature in the salt marsh, during high tide, it seems like the water is everywhere. This morning it was also the same colour as the sky, which made the entire scene appear watery. Canada geese dotted the soft grey below the horizon line.
The narrow trail that passes through the salt marsh allows one to be surrounded by sky and water without being out in a boat. It’s a unique experience and certainly one that’s mind opening and peaceful.
Years ago, a railroad passed through this marsh connecting Musquodoboit on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia with Dartmouth. It was named the Blueberry Express for the number of blueberries that were transported into the city for sale. Train service carried passengers until 1960. Travel through here would have been a wonderful experience back then too. The views would have been just as awesome, with perhaps even more wildlife to see than there is now.

You keep giving readers more and more reasons to visit Nova Scotia.
Ha ha Pamela! Tourism Nova Scotia is probably right when they say that ‘There’s so much to sea’ here. The ocean and lakes here greatly enhance the views and the opportunities to enjoy nature up close.
I don’t think my friend Tammy who owns the local inn has ever heard any visitors complain of being disappointed with their trip to the province.
Wow..I just discovered you…what a beautiful blog..your photographs are stunning….I really enjoyed looking at all of them….what a beautiful part of the world…
I’ll be back for more..
Best,
Kary
Thanks for stopping by and commenting Kary. Your part of the world in Switzerland is lovely too. Nature can be beautiful in so many ways.
From the serenity of the sunrise to the gloam of today’s photos….and equally as beautiful. Thanx!
Cindy, that sky is never the same twice. I wonder… do we project our feelings when we look at the sky? Do peaceful people consistently see serenity in the clouds?
Beautiful, Amy, – also the sunrise photos of the previous post 🙂
Thanks Eldrid 🙂
Well Amy I’ve arrived. I can’t believe I’m here in Eastern Passage and can’t wait to check out the many wonderful places you have shown us. I was driving on Caldwell Road yesterday and told my daughter about all the Tamaracks and the porcupines that wander onto the roads at night … See ! I’ve been paying attention.
Can’t wait to check out the marsh trail.
Can’t believe my furniture won’t arrive till Monday !

Sybil, I was wondering about your arrival yesterday. I’ll be in touch by email 🙂
Water & sky was what the earth revealed to me today, as well. Ahhh, what delight to view both! Aren’t we so lucky?
We sure are Kathy 🙂 You and me both.
