Lawrencetown Beach--Atlantic Ocean

This morning we walked at one of our favourite places--Lawrencetown Beach. The waves were scheduled to be very high and the tide was low. The white stuff you see is not snow, but sea foam. More than we had ever seen before. With each new wave, more foam accumulates.

There were also very strong winds, making the situation at optimum conditions for Stella. You see, the foam is loosened by the wind making it so much fun to chase. She made us laugh as she feverishly chased the chunks of sea foam along the beach.

We have seen many beaches in the world but the beaches here in Nova Scotia have the most beautifully coloured stones. I am fascinated by the variations in colour.

These beautiful tulips remind us that spring is coming.

Hi Marilyn,
What a lot of sea foam - very cool. No wonder Stella had so much fun. That must have made entertaining her easy for you that day!

I do like those beautiful stones too. It's fun finding unique pebbles and stones. I'm drawn to them but have never seen such beautiful ones as your picture shows. Glad to see you're keeping on posting pics and write-ups. Very nice!

Love Alice from the West Coast where we rarely get to actually see the coast!
