Yes, we really do have the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and they really do wear their red serge on special occasions! This is from the Apple Blossom Festival Parade

On the South Shore. Just an idyllic tiny community, and yes, the rocks do look blue! So do your lips if you go in January!

The beauty comes in so many places on Cape Breton!

Can You See the Moose?

Neither could we! Even thought the Skyline Trail was closed due to too many “frisky moose!” First time in 40 years it has been closed. Next time!

The Arts Council adds these pieces of art in out of the way places to invite us to see art everywhere—even on the side of a barn!
