Every summer, I try to visit different beaches,
along with all of my old favorites....
namely Union Corner and Thunder Cover.
I took a drive out to Belmont though this year
and was pleasantly surprised.
There was almost no one else there
and if there is anything my introverted little self loves...
it's an empty beach.
One side was...well...ok....but the other side...
cliffs and rocks and still silent water.
I will totally go back there again next summer.
Earlier in the summer
(before the accident that put the
l'il hyundai accent out of commission),
I took a little adventure drive
out through Borden...
and realized
that you can go
right under the
Confederation Bridge!
You have to climb down on
some pretty big rocks
but I have seriously always loved doing that anyway.
It did freak me out
just a teensy-tiny bit
when I got under there
and could hear
the cars and trucks and campers
and transfer trucks
shaking and rumbling right over top of me...
plus
I can't swim
so I was also very cautious not to drown
or drop my camera...
So fun though! :)
Oh....and I had taken some from a nearby beach, too!
awwwwww....i kinda miss the ferries...
shades of blue at stanhope beach...
i don't normally do winter friday adventures
because
let's face it...
i'm a bit of a cold weather pansy.
but it was mild on friday...
like bizarrely unusually mild.
i should have gone to the gym
and caught up on laundry
and cleaned the house
but instead
i put on my turkey socks and purple docs
grabbed my camera
and went for a drive.
yeah...i wasn't kidding about the turkey socks.
i ended up in cavendish...at the beach...
which is weird
because i rarely go to that beach
in the summer
but there i was...in the middle of winter...
and i had a small panic attack
as i walked out onto one of the floating bridges
and then thought
what if you are not supposed to be on these in the winter
and i can't swim in warm water
so i am surely to gawd going to drown in freezing cold water
but then thought
they would
probably
put up a sign or something....
so then i calmed down
and enjoyed myself again...had the whole place to myself...
until i started wondering if coyotes hibernate.
sigh.
it's exhausting living in my head.
but...here are some photos that i took
before my heart started skipping a beat
thinking coyotes could be lurking
in a pack
just
around that corner.
and then i went to charlottetown
because honestly
i got lost and sidetracked and at one point
thought i was driving
back to summerside
but i was actually driving in the opposite direction
and ended up in charlottetown
so i turned a negative into a positive
and went to Micheal's! and i had a gift card! with me!
i bought this jane davenport book on drawing/painting
that i have been drooling over forever
and my very first set of koi watercolors...
AND i got the CUTEST polka dot dress at old navy for 15 dollars.
ok...yes...i know.
one can possibly own too many polka dot dresses...
but...
i'm not there yet, right?
all in all...it was a very good friday adventure...even if it was stupid winter... :)
