The Best of October

 The first half of Oktober was just gorgeous, 

Whitehorse Island

mild and warm as late summer days.

Bald Eagle

Herring Cove Beach, Campobello

                            The most of our summer visitors have left.                                  Raccoon Beach View

 Roads and beaches are abandoned.

Trail on Campobello
Wherever we walk fall colours decorating the trails.

Around the middle of October, it all changed. 

View from Liberty Point, CampobelloMore drama under those low hanging clouds. 

Upper Duck Pond, view
Across the distance, Lubec Channel light,
Channel Light, Sparkplug
called "Sparkplug" by local people.
Ring-billed Gulls

Only one week until November.

Der erste Teil des Monats Oktober war sommerlich warm. Die Sommergäste haben die Insel nun verlassen und die Strände sind wieder menschenleer.

Nach und nach färben sich die Bäume. Hier und da sieht man Weißkopfadler auf den Baumwipfeln sitzen. 

Die Wanderwege sind im Herbst besonders schön.

Mitte Oktober aber änderte sich das Wetter. Dunkle Wolken und kühlere Temperaturen bringen mehr Drama, und einen Vorgeschmack auf den Winter.

Ein beliebtes Photoobjekt ist dieser Leuchtturm,  der von den Einheimischen liebevoll die "Zündkerze" genannt wird. 

Auf einem Felsen im Meer ruhen sich Ringschnabelmöven aus.

Nur noch eine Woche bis November.

First Snow of 2020

 November 3 the first snowfall occurred.

That is one of the earliest I can remember for the last decade.


Of course it did not last and by mid afternoon I walked out 

to Con Robinson's Point.

walked along Racoon Beach 
and around the Southern Head

We walked along the beach back towards Southern Head parking lot.

The wind was cold, but I am glad we went anyway

Heute, am 3. November gab es bei uns den ersten Schneefall.  Ziemlich früh, dachte ich, aber man wird vergesslich. Am Nachmittag schien schon wieder die Sonne and wir machten uns auf den Weg zum Con Robinsons´s Point. 

Von dort ging es am Strand (Racoon Beach) um das Southern Head herum zurück zum Parkplatz. Die Luft war klar und die Farben heute besonders leuchtend. 

Der Wind war ziemlich kalt, aber der Spaziergang hat sich gelohnt.

Up And Down

Up and down the ladders.
 A few days ago we went to Racoon Beach.
There is a very steep ladder that provides access to the water.
No problem for Dixie.
"Are you coming?"
While walking along we can see signs of erosion everywhere.
Heavy north-eastern storms have been tearing away big parts of the land.
Trees are falling down the cliff or hanging at a precarious angle.
A short walk further we reach another ladder.
Here we climb up to Con Robinson's Point.
On our way back I take some photos from a part of Lake Glensevern
that looked way different three days ago.
The weather has turned cold and the lake is frozen over.
On the way back we saw a Ruffed Grouse in a tree.
Photo was taken while driving, otherwise the bird would have seen me and flown away.
"..and a partridge in a pear tree" 
came to my mind.
Soon it will be Christmas again.
