After we left Cape Breton we drove toward Yarmouth to Truro where we checked into a wonderful bed and breakfast place owned by a delightful young Dutch couple. After a lovely tea our host noticed that I was looking all around and suggested that I might like to consider the field behind their property–a perfect location. The weather couldn’t have been better and I painted away happily while a bald eagle soared overhead. After a while flocks of Canada geese started flying over as well. I grabbed my nifty new camera with the “no blur” feature and got some photos so I could stick the geese in later. I loved this landscape which seemed appropriately Dutch–low flat land and lots of sky but with some mountains and a few buildings in the distance for punctuation. The cloud pattern was beautiful, criss-crossed all over the sky. It’s hard for me to imagine a better high than having good weather and an interesting landscape. How I love retirement!
