You're all used to seeing my eerie photos of these fish houses from across the channel. Tonight I decided to venture down the way behind them and check out what they look like from the back. The air smelled like heaven. The frogs were singing. Enjoy a #walkwithme on a summer evening in Hacketts Cove, Nova Scotia, Canada.

#WalkWithMe ...

The view you are used to seeing when I walk this way. I took the video special for @phoenixwren, who if I'm not mistaken, asked if I'd ever gone down there and explored. I finally did, though tentatively, I didn't want to get too close.

Everything feels so enchanted and hushed. Like the snowfalls in winter, except I'm not freezing my ass off as my fingers go numb from trying to take photos.

Some Things Were Crystal Clear

I'll have to go back soon to see all of these flowers blooming.

These are soooo cool!

Exquisitely coloured flowers on that bush, I had to stop for a photo. Such calming shades of blue and purple.

I hope you enjoyed this #WalkWithMe. Here are some recent walks with our STEEM Fam who got out there in the world, and took us with them.

See life through their eyes...

An excellent post and so different from Florida! Looks so peaceful.

I love seeing 'your' coast @lyndsaybowes! It's so different from the west coast, and seems so much more peaceful to me. The mist is beautiful, and I know what you mean by it being "hushed" ... glad you're not freezing your ass of too haha Love the lily pads and Hydrangea bush too; those purple, pink, and blue tones are so pretty. I killed mine here lol It's just way too hot for them.

I'm glad you found @simplymike's post too, or she found you :) Thanks for sharing your day with all of us!

I can't believe I almost forgot, but thank you so much for including my post here as well!! :)

Thank you for identifying the *Hydrangea"! It's right at someone's doorstep and I so badly want to just run up there and smell it! Sorry you killed yours :'( :'(

I'm happy to meet more like minds, @simplymike seems super cool!

You're very welcome for the shout out, thanks for adding such quality to the #walkwithme tag!

You're very welcome @lyndsaybowes! They dry so nicely as well, the Hydrangea that is :) I'm sorry mine died as well; they're so pretty and delicate...too delicate for here!

She is very cool! You'll love her like I do 😅❤️

That's an awesome compliement, thank you. Takes quality to know quality 😎

I see your soil conditions must be close to ours here, as those hydrangeas are nice and blue. Though on the Cape our acidity is so great we get such blue on our hydrangeas they almost look fake!

I'm so behind with all with this busy summer. It's lovely to be by the sea, but it goes by so fast as it is my busiest time, but it's good to take a few minutes each day to breath in the salt air and relax.

Ah thanks for the info about the Hydrangeas, so they like the acid eh? That's cool that it affects the colour of the flower, what an awesome plant!

Oh Lyndsay! Thank you so much for your kind mention :) I'll be sharing more posts from Switzerland I hope you'll enjoy those ones too :)

I find it so interesting that you can get straight from your house on the road. We always have either fences or bushes in front of the garden to 'protect' the property and also to have some more privacy.

I like the fog. It makes it look so mystical. And I can't wait to see those waterlilies in their full beauty :)

I told you so many times.. but you really are lucky to live there :)

I look forward to seeing the rest of your Switzerland photos!

We don't have a lot of fences here in Nova Scotia, usually people just have trees separating properties. It really gives a warm feeling...

So beautiful! And the picture is so much clearer watching it on my laptop, ha ha! I really felt like I was there with you. Thank you for taking a video. ^_^
Did you say "fox"? Where, where? O:
Side note, if I have to type in my keys many more times trying to get things set up on this laptop and Partiko on my cell phone, I'm going to actually have those things memorized... lol.

That would be an incredible feat, to have your passwords all memorized. I don't think I said fox, I was whispering hahaha it was just soooo quiet down there!

I once lost my wallet and had to get all the cards replaced and such. Months later I tried to order from Amazon, and for some reason in order to change cards I needed to know the old card number when I was talking to customer service. I explained what had happened to them, and the rep was like, sorry, you might have to make a whole new account. So I was like, okay, wait. Is it: ######? And the rep paused and then exclaimed, "DIDN'T YOU SAY YOU LOST THE CARD MONTHS AGO?? HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!" Because I had successfully remembered it. When I'm not in an utter brain fog, I have a pretty good memory. LOL

Oh - that is so cool to see them up close at last!

I wonder if the owners will do anything to keep them from collapsing. I'm not sure if the "grandfathering" works once the building has fallen down.

Don't you just love the insect noise in August?

Yeah, I don't know either if grandfathering works if your building collapses into the sea...I loved the plank they made to get over to the building...but who in their right mind would walk that plank? Maybe at high tide lol.

Yes, the froggies and crickets are a most welcome noise....summer Lives!

I don't think I would go anywhere near that building without a helmet.

That is so nice.
I loved your video. It makes me homesick to go back to my country roots.
Thank you

Francis

Thank you for strolling along with me Francis, where are your country roots located?

One thousand miles closer to you from where I am now.
Southern Ohio.
So if I go back up there. You are within walking distance.
5 or 6 hundred miles away is all. Ha
So while you are in your walks. And you happen to meet some peoople who tell you that they met the strangest man.
He looked like a hobo, but he was very nice.
And he said he was looking for "@lyndsaybowes of Steemit."
That is your signal to run as fast as you can to a hiding place.
If I walk that far. I could look a little shaggy by then. lol
Thank you

Francis

AHHA Well I know what you look like, thanks to Ms Rebecca's blog about a certain walk one day and some comments in it, so if I take that photo and add a bunch of hair, and twigs and sap, I believe I would be able to still recognize the famous Francis! xoxo C'mon over!

Incredible walk among those sites and landscapes that nature gives us and knowing that the most beautiful and pleasurable things in life are free. Really. I follow you and I think your posts are great. I leave you a positive vote, friend.@lyndsaybowes

...the most beautiful and pleasurable things in life are free.

100% TRUTH <3 Thank you so much for enjoying life @balcol :)

Esas fotografias de los Botes rodeados por la Neblina me parecen excelentes ya que en el lugar donde vivimos es una Isla Tropical y la mayoria del tiempo hace un Sol inclemente @lyndsaybowes

Me alegro de que te gusten las fotos @franciscana23! Gracias por decírmelo.

Ok...i want to walk around there and I am trying to figure out which way you go around and which way does the water open way up. Still loving that dilapidated white cottage on the edge of Mark's place. That is my flip or flop or fixer-upper xx Should paint my house black first.
