Peggy's Cove

After spending the night in the RV in the upper parking lot at Peggy's Cove, the kids went out the next morning to visit the lighthouse...

Then they went down to explore the harbour.

The tide was out.

What a beautiful clear day! I love the vibrant colors.

I especially like the three colorful chairs which sit empty. It took me a moment to realize they were the children's chairs as the perspective made me think they were part of the items on the pier.

Sunny days like that are generally terrible for doll photography especially in mid day, but I took these really early in the morning before 8, while the sun was still low in the sky. Then it works.

And those chairs are full size, real people chairs, overlooking the inner harbour. The village has them in other scenic spots as well.

Oh my goodness, I was completely wrong about the chairs. I think I need more lessons in perspective or something (smile).

I remember seeing those colorful chairs various places while we were there on vacation. They were like an unspoken invitation to sit and enjoy the outstanding scenery.

Absolutely gorgeous!! I love everything about this scene. We went to Peggy's Cove back in 2001 I loved Nova Scotia and also our time in PEI to see all things "Anne" as well as New Brunswick. Everything was just breathtakingly beautiful!

All three provinces have some amazing scenery.

Peggy's Cove is so picturesque! It's fun "seeing" it through the children's eyes.
The weathered building with the small pier in your photo of the three chairs is very familiar. It's the focal point of a painting in my living room!

Yes, Peggy's Cove is very picturesque. I remember seeing pictures of it on calendars over the years long before we actually visited for the first time. I had thought the entire Maritimes were like that, but was disappointed that they weren't, and that the barren rocky landscape was unique just to Peggy's Cove and the immediate surrounding area, and a few other remote spots.

Those weathered gray buildings have appeared on so many calendars over the years. They never seem to change.
