Everyone Should See This

Posted on September 28, 2025 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Joanne Mason who is hosting this week’s Lens Artists Photo Challenge https://joannemasonphotography.com/lens-artists-367-everyone-should-see-this/

There are many places in the world that I think people should see but being Canadian and trying to promote Canada to international travellers and Canadians I am setting my sites on New Brunswick and the Hopewell Rocks Provincial Parks. This is a natural site and greatly affected by weather such as hurricanes and severe storms so I wouldn’t put off visiting this beautiful area for too long. You never know.

From the Irving Eco Centre in New Brunswick on the North Atlantic Ocean. This was taken in October 2023 when we did a road trip to the East Coast. Both my husband and I agreed that the cloud formations were spectacular.

…thanks to Patrick Jennings for hosting the Pic and Word Challenge https://pixtowords.com/2024/11/06/shoreline-pic-and-a-word-challenge-394/

Most of the year I live close to the shoreline of Lake Ontario and in the summer my cottage is a two minute walk from Georgian Bay.

I’ve also been lucky enough to walk along the shoreline of the Bay of Fundy and the shorelines of Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick on Canada’s East Coast.

Saturday Sculptures From Fredericton, NB

Posted on October 21, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….in the historic district of Fredericton

There are only 60 000 people in Fredericton but it is the capital of New Brunswick and it had a very vibrant arts community. Our daughter recommended that we visit the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and we weren’t disappointed. On the outside of the gallery and across the street there were numerous sculptures.

Road Trip – Day 5 continued

Posted on October 14, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….a walk along the sand dune in Bouctouche

Bouctouche Dunes is a 12 km sand dune that extends out into the ocean and surrounds Bouctouche Bay. From the Eco Centre there is a 2k boardwalk. On the way back we walked along the beach.

Road Trip – Days 5

Posted on October 13, 2023 by Mama Cormier

….driving through Shediac, Cormierville and Bouctouche

It was another beautiful day for a road trip.

On our way to Bouctouche we stopped by a roadside shop that specialized in antiques and wood carvings. The owner lovingly explained how all the objects that we were looking at were carved from one block of wood by her very talented husband who had passed six years ago.

Charles Bernard had a very colourful history and apparently learned how to carve wood when he was serving time in the penitentiary. He lived in Bouctouche with his wife for 15 years where they ran the wood carving shop and antiques store.
