New Carlisle Beach

My daughter Suzanne

 came to visit me this week.

The weather was awful.

Rain and freezing cold.

Temperatures near 0 deg. C.
or 32 deg. F.

Between the rains one day, 

we dressed in winter clothes and 

went for a walk on a nearby beach, 

 New Carlisle Beach.

Me and Suzanne

Here are some photos.
(taken in cloudy conditions)

Below,  is the "Green"

It has a canteen, play park for children,

Canada Day celebrations are held here

along with many other events.

Below: There is a camp ground nearby, 

beyond this sidewalk to the left. 

New Carlisle has a very long boardwalk......

That goes for miles and miles

With many twists and turns

Passing through a marshland... 

 into a bird sanctuary.

A peaceful walk in the fresh salty air.

There used to be a harbour here many years ago.

The cliff under the lighthouse below has been damage by
heavy storms from last fall.  
Spring thaw and heavy rains 
also cause a lot of erosion 
to the Gaspé Peninsula. 
Apparently with "Climate Change" 
the oceans are rising,
getting larger and we are losing more land.

For more photos I took at high tide

Something to do on a rainy day.
Suzanne repainted this birdhouse for me.

Also the little lighthouses I put in my flower garden.

The other houses came from the Dollarstore

She painted for her garden.

It is lobster season here.
We enjoyed a lobster supper together.
Served with garlic butter and coleslaw.

This lobster below is a little over  1.5 pounds. 
Lobsters are sold cooked or uncooked 
at the Fish Markets here.
Prices ranging from $8.50 to 10.50 per pound cooked.

To cook lobsters, the live lobster is place in 
a large pot of boiling salted water
 and boiled for 15 to 20 mins.
