Hopeless

…..it’s not what you think

Up at the cottage when the residents say we’re ‘Hopeless’ they are not referring to the state of affairs in the world, their own state of mind or any situation for that matter. Hopeless at Big Sand Bay means that we are fogged in and can’t see Hope Island which sits just north of us.

When the fog breaks up and the sun reappears Hope Island returns to us. In life hope is always there. Sometimes hope is all we have and even in our darkest days we sometimes have to push through the darkness to find it but when we do we can begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

A Fallen Tree

Every winter a tree comes down on our lot at the cottage. It might be due to age, infestation, crowding, disease or a number of other reasons. This one fell across our pathway to the beach but our kind neighbour got out her saw and cleared the path for us.

New Beginnings

thanks to Becky B for hosting Tree Square for the month of July https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/07/25/tree-square-25/

I’ve been posting mostly mature trees and trees that are at the end of their life cycle. Here is how new trees begin.

Tree Square – Lone Remnant on the Beach

…..hard to believe that last summer our beach was covered with small trees and weeds and this is all the is left
