New Look to Write It!

Published by athlyn at 12:45 pm under Dribbles and Drabbles Edit This

Hello Everyone,

In today’s post, I’m going to take a hiatus from the blogging lessons. I have a couple of things I want to discuss with you, my readers!

Thank You!

First on the list: I want to thank everyone who has swung by this blog and taken the time to comment. You are helping to shape this blog and it is very much appreciated.

E-mail Subscription to This Blog!

Second: I feedburned this blog so now it’s easier than ever to receive updates. Simply locate the box, enter your e-mail and, viola! No more having to snoop through feed readers or bookmarks to get the latest updates.

New Look

Third: You may be wondering about the picture above and where it was taken. (Just a side-note: I loved my other blog design with the woods, path, and bridge but opted for a new layout because I wanted to play with two columns.)

I took this picture down at Two Islands. This is a special place in the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy, Nova Scotia. If you are familiar with Parrsboro, you will have a better idea of the local.

Two Islands is a special spot because the nearby Wasson’s Bluff is the site where the world’s smallest dinosaur footprints were discovered by Parrsboro resident Eldon George.

This place is breathtaking at any time but a friend and I were treated to an almost magical sight. We visited Two Islands late in the evening (our day ran out on us!). We weren’t sure if we wanted to navigate down the steep path to the beach below in the darkness but, in the end, decided to go for it. What we saw was truly awe inspiring!

The tide was out (incidentally, this is an area of the world’s highest tides) so the tidal flats stretched for miles. A full moon illuminated the heavens–and there stood the two islands, silent, mysterious, beautiful in their timelessness, silhouetted in the moonlight. Further off, we could see a band of water caught in a tidal pool–a moon-path over the flats.

I snapped the pic. above on another visit and hope you enjoy it as this blog’s header.

Please let me know what you think.

    I found your tale about Two Islands beautiful and tried to picture the scene you described as I looked at your photo. Have you ever thought about contacting Country magazine with a possible story about the Island?
