Places Where The Edges Are

Whipping around the edges of Stone Pathways

Moving inwards from the edges

Running stitch with white thread creates ripples

but

my thinking is that stones in a pathway

would be surrounded by speckles of sand or gravel.

So I think I will try a colour thread....

....but it can't distract from the stones.

From stitching to walking

We walked the edge of the Annapolis Basin

Looking backwards towards Annapolis Royal

All of that grassland disappears at high tide.

We are safe atop the dyke

which was built by the French in 17th Century.

Looking inland

they built the dykes to protect the lowlands

that stretch towards the North Mountain.

Where the water's edge gets closer to the dyke

huge blocks of basalt act s protection against erosion.

The Rusty Pups use their noses

to learn about who has come down to the dyke in the night.

They often find snail shells

which the seagulls pick up on the mud flats at low tide

and carry to the dyke where they throw them on the ground

to break through to their dinner.

Leaving the water's edge and moving back inland.

I hope the sun shines for you today.
