Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island – This shot is from our road trip around the Cabot Trail almost two weeks ago. Like I mentioned in last week’s post, we did the Trail in a counterclockwise drive. Not far from the St Ann’s Bay area, I believe this is taken in Indian Brook. I found the Read More …
The Cabot Trail, Cape Breton Island – Yesterday (Thursday) was a day of sun, cloud, wind and rain, most of the time all this together all at once.

On the first try to find this #RedChair, we drove passed it since it’s not visible from the highway. I’ve seen photos of it so I did have an idea of where Read More …

March 14, 2015 turned out to be a fine day weather-wise, with only sun and cloud in the forecast. Here we have a perfect day for a winter road trip around the Cabot Trail.
