Day 28

Heres a picture that shows one of our biggest tourist attractions, the Bay of Fundy. Nova Scotia is where we have the proud distinction of having the highest tides in the world, changing 6-8 feet per hour. The go from an average of 3 feet(found elsewhere in the world) to 52 feet in just a few short hours. You actually have to check where the tides are before heading to the beaches as somedays there are sand, other days there are not.

Day 27

One of our famous landmarks is the Robie Tufts Nature Centre pavilion in Wolfville, N.S. Here is where a bird called the chimney swifts call there home. The chimney is part of an old milk building that had stopped using there chimney, and these swifts set up nest there. The building was demolised but they left the chimney standing to preserve the swifts resting place. If you gathered in the park around dusk, you can watch the swifts make their descent into the chimney. They swirl around the chimney and then fall like leaves down into there home. Pretty neat to see. They nest in Nova Scotia from May to August, and then migrate south To Peru for the remaining months.

Heres A movie someone did of them entering the chimney

Day 26

This weeks challenge entails "Landmarks". Every day when I go to work I pass this carved wooden chicken. He was carved out of a fallen tree, not sure if its from there property though. Where I live its mostly farmland, with many vegetable and obviously chicken producers. This family is just down the road from where I work at a chicken producer. Pretty neat I think

Went for a walk around the house and thought these logs made a nice pic
