Orchid Show

Hi Everyone
Although these orchids do not grow on Brier Island, I had the pleasure of joining my friend Gini (who is instrumental in finding rare species on brier, long Island and Digby Neck) at the orchid show.The growers put on a beautiful show every year by displaying their beautiful orchids at K.C Irving herbarium at Acadia University. Gini also has a beuatiful orchid she is growing and it has lots of blooms.Thought you might enjoy some of these beautiful orchids.

Bird sightings

Hi Everyone
Got off school early and took advantage of the sunny weather. Went for a hike to Northern Light although it was a bit windy the sky and sea was crystal blue and the sun was bright. Along the way in the harbor i sighted a common loon, common goldeneye, 4 Turkey Vultures gliding over the harbor,and Black-capped chickadees singing in the thickets.

Wild and windy Night and Day on the Islands

Hi Everyone
What a crazy wild night. The wind reached up to 65 miles and hour last night and the 28 ft tides flew spray, seaweed and rocks into the road and flooded the water front with some water. Here is some pictures of the aftermath...didn't get power restored until 3 this afternoon because a tree had fallen on my power lines. In Tiverton trees toppled powerlines and they wrapped around the gas pumps at the store. No traffic was allowed in or out until the power trucks could come in to safely remoe them.
