What a beautiful morning for a hike! First, we HAD TO put bug spray on us. The mosquitos and little black bugs have become blood type A+ over the last few weeks. I think I’ll drink more wine, so they get inebriated and get them back!
This was an easy 1&1/2 hour, 3.7 mile return trail. It followed the old mail road along a cobble beach, some small ponds and coastal tuckamore that gave us a great look at different habitats. As we hiked (walked) the scenery was so simple and breathtaking. There were other brave souls out on the trail this morning too. What I have found, to this day, the most beautiful part of the maritime islands is their wildflowers. Along the trail I don’t know how many kinds of flowers we found, but we were not disappointed.
We were also hoping to spot a moose – nope! So far only I have seen 1 moose and that was its’ bottom! Zoom Zoom has yet to see one. We did see several sea birds; those are always fun to watch.
FYI, we are always “all smiles” when we begin a hike!
