Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge from Peggy’s Cove
…thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull up a Seat Challenge https://xingfumama.blog/2023/10/27/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2023-week-43/
Peggy’s Cove is a very beautiful but rugged seacoast tourist attractions. Recently a boardwalk and fenced deck was built to keep tourists safer and more comfortable. They don’t discourage you from walking right up to the lighthouse but they do post warnings that people have died on these rocks. I thought the seating was a nice touch.
Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Found

Sue wrote a very interesting article on her blog that she found in the Guardian. It’s well worth a read. My contribution is literally things that I found on my recent trip to the East Coast.

Day 10 – Finding Relief and Exploring the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia
…thanks to Kevin for finding the pain medication that I needed for my sciatica
Sunday morning Kevin walked to the closest Shopper’s Drug Mart and with help from the Pharmacist found the Naproxen that I needed. While he was gone I researched what exercises I could do to ease my pain. I found some great YouTube videos and between the pills and the exercises I started to feel much better.
Later in the day I decided that I could handle the short walk to the art gallery. The Art Gallery of Nova Scotia is the largest art museum in Atlantic Canada and currently houses over 18 000 works of art.
The work of Maud Lewis and her iconic house that she lived in for 30 years are on permanent display here. The house is small but Maud painted every inch of wall space and every piece of furniture and every accessory with her famous folk art style.
Other Exhibits include GENERATIONS: THE SOBEY FAMILY AND CANADIAN ART and
DEANNE FITZPATRICK: THE VERY MENTION OF HOME
Here are a few of the paintings we particularly enjoyed.
We didn’t take in all the exhibits. The collection is housed in two buildings and taking in three of the shows was all I could handle.
