Ringing in the new season
Fall Equinox Celebration
Continuing to forage for berries this summer all fruits are abundant this year.
Excellent day of foraging today 🙂
Bunchberries are ripening fast, blackberries are abundant along with August apples - wow what a summer for berries !!!
Continue to vote daily if you remember, first elimination is on the 22 nd. You can dream !!! Especially from a balloon with all the freedom you can imagine.
Was fortunate to have the opportunity today for a sunrise ballon ride over Sussex for my birthday. Thank you to my children (Kassandra, Hilary and Andrew) for thinking of this as it has been on my bucket list for a long time. Loved, loved, loved it!!!!

Biking past this area in Caraquet last weekend and I spotted one of my favourite plants (ok I have many like the Venus flytrap). This beautiful purple pitcher plant (carnivorous in nature) found in fens and bogs in NB has many interesting qualities.
The plant lives off insects that fall prey to its sweet smelling nectar, they land on the front of the spoon like head covered with downward pointing hairs. The insect falls into the hole of eternity filled with water and the plant absorbs all the nutrients - it is genius 🙂
I did get my feet wet although it was worth it to see these beauties up close. The tall flowering purple flowers are a hint that the leering plant is below.
Great day to be out exploring new nature parks this time in Memramcook 🙂
