New Year's Eve Fireworks at Seaforth Beach. Eastern Shore. Nova Scotia. This month's photograph is fireworks at Seaforth Beach provided by Theresa and Heather's Country Store. A great display. Thanks!
A timely reminder from our photographer Lynda that we will soon be at that time of the year when we have to help out the critters and the birds again - time to check the stores for bargains on seed and feed.
Photographers Anne MacLean and Lynda Mallett (TalkingWaterStudio) collaborated in the creation of a Desk Top Calendar (2010): A Year On The Eastern Shore,which went on sale at the Musquodoboit Harbour Farmers Market, Nova Scotia. The photographs (Landscapes
from the Shore) selected for the calendar are available as limited editions. Click on the logo to visit their new website.
The calendar is a collection of twelve original photographs from Nova
Scotia's Eastern Shore. Packed in a clever 6 inches by 4 inches plastic
holder and stand this makes an ideal gift and it is easy to mail as
well.

Surf Class on Lawrencetown Beach, Nova Scotia
History of One Life Surf School There are many versions of this story, according to their website, each beginning in a different place and meeting on Nova Scotia's Eastern shore.
It all began with a group of women with diverse talents, unique histories and one common passion: surfing. After an
inspirational lunch at a local Cafe they realized that there was a lack of
resources for women who surf and women who are interested in surfing.
One Life Surf School was born. Visit them at http://www.onelifesurf.com/ Photo Lynda Mallett
WEST CHEZZETCOOK
Our intrepid photographer Lynda
cannot resist the lure of a cold winters day. This shot is of West
Chezzetcook on Marine Drive, Nova Scotia. You can find this view by
following the 207 Highway which runs along the coast from Dartmouth
to the Acadian communities of Grand Desert and West Chezzetcook. It
is said that Grand Desert was named from the Acadian word "Desert"
which means forest land cleared away. It certainly has a more open
aspect than its neighbours. Ship building took place along this coast
and may account for some of the use of lumber. Chezzetcook or
Chezzencook was the Mi'kmaq Indian word for 'running waters divided
into many channels'.
