For this Skywatch Friday, two views of basically the same marvelous area.I live in this most amazingly beautiful place: Kings County, in Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley. Actually, I live on the North Mountain, one of two ridges that form the sheltering backbones overlooking the Valley. From some parts of the North Mountain, you can see down into the Valley, and actually into three counties (maybe four).
This is part of the view from The Lookoff, a popular destination for visitors to our part of the world. I have to pass the Lookoff every time I go to town (Wolfville, Canning, New Minas, etc) and I never get tired of the view, winter....
...Or summer.
Stormy days are particularly interesting.
...Or summer.
Stormy days are particularly interesting.
My own view is slightly different, facing the opposite direction to this, but no less beautiful. But that's a sky for another day.
I miss summer, have I mentioned that lately? Even a thunderstorm day would be more than welcome.
The sky, being lovely and colorful or otherwise is a sign of what will the weather be the next day. ~bangchik
ReplyDeleteI would miss this view if this is what I had to look at when I left home. It is beautiful. I am a Flatlander unfortunately.
ReplyDeleteYou do live in a gorgeous place.
ReplyDeleteI'm longing for spring, not really summer, but just some warmer weather! Enough of this winter weather!
Stunning Jodi! You do live in a beautiful part of the world!

ReplyDeleteLast summer my husband and I took a holiday trip through Nova Scotia. We loved it in summer, but your photo shows it is a beautiful place in all seasons. I'm over on the west coast if you would like to come see. - Margy
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view. I love that it changes depending on the season or I imagine the weather. How fortunate to live in such a beautiful place.
ReplyDeletelucky you to live in such a gorgeous place, be it winter or summer. :)
ReplyDeleteJodi, You do live in a marvelous part of the garden. It's on my 'must visit' list. I am just a little behind in blog reading ...Loved your previuous post~ and the "rich, brilliant, soul-drenching colours. Hot magenta orchids. Brilliant, sizzling gerbera daisies. And deliciously green chrysanthemums" of your Valentine bouquet. You have fabulous taste~gail
ReplyDeleteYou miss summer...I miss color! Even the putrid brown of our muddy Alaskan spring would be welcome about now. Enough of the white stuff!

What gorgeous shots of the sky and landscape...these are inspiration for art. Of course the shots are art in themselves!
ReplyDeleteI like the 'have you visited this blogger...' addition to your page too. So, I'll be off to the blog you've featured, thanks!
Breathtaking landscape! I would LOVE to visit Nova Scotia - one day I will...you just wait and see! Yeah, I'm ready for Spring. Not so much summer except for the butterflies, of course. And flowers! And blue skies! Okay...I guess I'm ready for summer, too!

Marvelous shots portraying winter / summer Contrast. I too miss summers... in fact its beginning to get warmer by the day in this part of the world. We are now gearing up for the festival of HOLI which falls on 1st of March.
ReplyDeleteJodi,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing view, and breathtaking through the changing seasons. How I would love to sit and enjoy the scenery there, and take in that beautiful landscape. I thank you for featuring my blog this week, it is very much appreciated. I hope you enjoy a wonderful weekend!
Now, that's what I call a skyline!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures..

The patchwork is beautiful, jodi, and just what I've imagined your environs to be.
ReplyDeleteJodi girl yo have managed to make me home sick yet again (you have to stop doing that some time don't you ? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI miss the smell of real salt air .. that sunset .. was too beautiful .. it makes me almost hurt because it is such a soulful moment to see that miracle in the making .. the sky is an amazing comfort at times.
Since you keep making me home sick .. this means you have to keep posting pictures like this to keep me company ? ok ?? : )
Joy (home sick but happy to see these pictures)
Jodi, you are so lucky to be living in such lovely environment with wide views to weave dreams. Thank you for letting us see your world even if it doesn't happen in real life!
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteThis morning when I went out early with the dogs, I actually felt for the first time this year (and it's the last day of February, isn't it?) that spring might actually arrive. It is still a cold morning - but I noticed that the crocisma were up (truly, they weren't up yesterday) and there were hyacinths opening up and the buds on the spring-flowering magnolias have begun to swell, despite the cold (love those day-length responders!). There is hope for another summer yet!
