• Irving Nature Park

    Irving Nature Park is just outside of St. John. It was very pretty.

    image

    It’s extra pretty now, because Kerri wasn’t paying enough attention to notice when we got back into New Brunswick, so now she needs to make up for lost opportunities for aarteioustiicneess.

    image

    Thus there may be more aarteiousticneiess than you think is strictly necessary.

    image

    But this is Kerri’s last chance to hurt your eyes.

    image

    There was also a maze, which we failed to get lost in.

    image

    It wasn’t like the High Park Labyrinth, it did have choices. But none of those choices led to dead ends. Everything interconnected, so any path you chose was correct.

    So Matt figured out the way very easily.

  • Reversing Rapids

    The reversing rapids are rapids that reverse.

    image

    When you go there at low tide, they are flowing one way.

    image

    Then for many hours, they continue flowing the same way. It is a very long show.

    image

    But finally, at high tide, they flow the other way. Which you can totally tell from the picture. Right?

  • Kouchibouguac Bog

    We did not find any pollywogs in the bog.

    image

    There were possibly cedar trees.

    image

    We have no idea how you tell if something is a cedar tree but it probably has something to do with the branches.

    image

    Either way they were not providing much shade up where the bog was more than 6m deep.

    image

    It was a bit better near the edges.

    image

    There were pitcher plants. But that doesn’t rhyme.

    image

    There were lots of weird plants.

    image

    Also weird things that may not be plants.

    image

    It’s a good thing Kerri brought a biologist with her.

    image

    At least it was scenic.
