It's a little cool out today, but I had a wonderful walk along the beach finding a lot of fabulous seashells. As I was walking searching the sand for seashells and watching the tide, I was reminded about the time I was at the Bay of Fundy in Novia Scotia with my son back sometime in the 90's. It was really a little scary because the tide goes incredibly far out and you search for all kinds of treasures, including fossils. My son was going into the 4th grade and was fascinated by fossils so wanted to really search the area while the tide was out. The thing with the Bay of Fundy is the tide comes in very fast when it does come in and you could be in a precarious situation if you don't keep an eye on where you are and where the tide is. It's an incredible thing to see as it is one of nature's beautiful wonders!

The tide here at Southern Shores comes in just below our steps to the beach. Each evening we are amazed at how far it comes in. Tonight I'm going to go sit on the pier and watch to see how high it actually comes. If it's a little stormy tonight we'll search the shore again tomorrow for seashells.
