A Special Gift from Nova Scotia!

A Special Gift from Nova Scotia!

If you ever visit Nova Scotia, there is at least one thing that you HAVE to do. You have to go to the lighthouse at Peggy's Cove. The granite rocks at Peggy's Cove are a wonder of nature. The water is deep and during a storm the waves are known to climb higher than the top of the lighthouse.

It can be a very dangerous place to visit. You don't turn your back on the waves and you don't walk on the wet rocks. People have been swept off the rocks and never seen again. If you respect the posted warning signs you will have a safe and enjoyable visit. Visitors to Nova Scotia often remark that Peggy's Cove was a highlight of their trip.

While at the lighthouse site many people visit the extensive gift shop, which features wonderful local products. The on site restaurant is a great place to stop and enjoy very tasty homestyle cooking.

In addition to the appeal provided by the lighthouse, Peggy's Cove is well known as a fishing village. You can stroll along the wharf, see the fishing boats and chat with local lobster fishermen.

For a virtual visit to Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia here is my gift to you. It is dedicated to my friend and fellow blogger, Richard Yates, who is breaking blogging records. He has not been to Nova Scotia. Perhaps he will come, someday.

Donna, I too enjoyed the video and love lighthouses. We hiked up to several during a summer camping trip along the Washington coast. Peggy's Cove looks charming - finally a town smaller than my hometown of Juneau, Alaska.

John, I hope you get an opportunity to see a lighthouse and maybe see a few big waves.

Richard, I don't know how many have been swept off the rocks, but it seems every year there are one or two. You can be standing back at what you think is a safe distance and then a wave comes in father than you expect.

Debb, The hiking sounds fun. It is a pretty small village. They have laws about land ownership to keep the fishing villge quality alive.

Richard, LOL the only thing you can see is the light. Much better in bright sunlight.

Dolores and I would love to visit Nova Scotia. It would be a great vacation destination.

Enjoy the holiday season and be sure to have your camera in hand to capture the special moments.

Donna, Nova Scotia is a beautiful place! I have visited a few times and would love to come back. My hubby is actually from NB and we visit every 3 years or so.

And don't give up on blogging because the phone isn't ringing... just give it some more time.

Georgina, My husband is also from NB. I will keep on blogging, although I'm finding it difficult to find time, this month.

Peter and Linda, I just saw Victoria on the weather news. I see you got a little snow. ;-) We had a snowfall on the 23rd but it was all gone in a few days. Much success to you both in 2012.

Russel, Nice photo. I like the caption. Yes, it is time to get back to work. It's quiet, here at the office, today. I'm the only one in. No distractions. I like that. Wishing you a wonderful 2012.

VERY well optimized page Donna, and if you did the video you already have automatic ads which means it gets a lot of hits! That's awesome! Beatufil Nova SCotia! I love that land! Not sure if I have ever been to Peggys cove though :)

Hey Debb, I have been busy and have not been very active in Activerain, lately. I hope to get back in the habit.

Tammy, Thanks for checking out my video. Peggy's Cove is very popular with visitors.
