My World Tuesday

.
Today was a lovely day for a ride 

and I found myself on the headlands. 

 Here are the crowberry barrens,

 the feeding grounds for the migrating Whimbrels in the fall.

Here is where one can go to escape the hum drum of every day life or the neighborhood noise.

Here is where one can spend hours alone (I call it getting 'lost in time')

without even realizing it.

This Willet was sharing space with a Spotted Sandpiper, who flew

away just as I raised my camera!

Canada Mayflower (Maianthemum canadense), 

almost ready to bloom,

carpeted the headlands.  This little beauty is also called

a Wild Lily-of-the-valley.

An empty mussel shell left behind after providing someone's lunch!

Looking across the harbor at the historic church,

Notre Dame de L'Assomption

in the village.

On the re-tern ride home, we stopped to check out "Tern Rock", 

where I guess-timate over 100 terns nest during the summer months.

Just this early morning, my shore was in the flight path

for two of them, a delightful sight first thing in the morning.

A little closer view!

Another lighthouse sits behind and just to the left of Tern Rock.

It's lobster season, as evidenced by the boat trolling the harbor

 on the right, checking traps.

I couldn't resist taking a picture of this outcropping.

It looks like a man, looking down,

keeping watch on the shoreline.

That's my world!
