I'm back home again after a wonderful visit to see my family in Nova Scotia.
My trip was mostly about spending time with family and friends,
but it was also about touching base with places I love.
I hardly know where to begin.
I have a heart full of memories and a memory full of photos.

The Ferry Leaves Digby, Nova Scotia, for Saint John, New Brunswick.
It's heading into a bank of fog spilling into the Annapolis Basin from the Bay of Fundy via Digby Gut.
I've watched different ferries coming and going through the Gut for over 70 years.
