September 6, 2021. Western Head, Nova Scotia. The Light House Road.

On Saturday, while driving along the French Shore, David spotted a little light house, jutting out from the shore. We kept looking for a road off to the right. Eventually we came upon a sign, saying Light House Road. As we were driving quite close to the water, we knew we were driving down a peninsula to find the light house. Right beside us was the Bay of Fundy with the tide half way out. Even though the tide was not fully out, we still saw mud flads loaded with water birds. The birds were busily making their living digging for food. We stopped many times on the way to the light house to see the magnificent mud flats. And of course we watched the shore birds of every type. We saw hundreds and hundreds of gulls and sandpipers of every size. The light house is small but has an area to park and walk around. A couple of other cars full of people were also enjoying the place, taking pictures and looking out to the water. It was a lovely little spot. On the way back up, we spotted a row of boats right along the shore stuck on the mud waiting for the tide to come in so they could once again float. It was a great picture. When you fish on the Bay of Fundy, you must pay close attention to the tides or you could get stuck way away from home and then wait for the tide to turn so you to get home. The long road to the light house was worth the whole day of driving. Seeing the mud flats again was special and watching all those birds eating away was also impressive. The Light House Road was worth the price of admission.
