Nova Scotia

This next entry is for Emmett, who found Stars and Stripes just toooo scary.

Will took a trip to Nova Scotia in 2007.   Of course, he people watched by painting them:

As it happens, I have been to Nova Scotia 4 times in the last 10 years.  This includes a family holiday this past July.   So, I took it upon myself to find as many of the buildings Will had painted while he was here.  This kept me busy while Liz tried to find a property to buy!  "A girl has to dream" says Abby.

Our vacation rental was in good proximity to Lunenburg, Mahone Bay and Blue Rocks.  All beautiful.

By the way, you can click on any of these paintings to bounce you into a dedicated Gallery.  The images are bigger if you then click the image again.  The other benefit of the Gallery is the you don't have to read my mumblings.
