Yesterday, three of us from the NS Wild Flora Society braved the weather 
and drove to Long Island Digby County to look at the Skunk cabbage found 
on and beside the Balancing Rock trail. They were superb this year and 
some were bravely growing on the trail. 
On the way back on digby Neck by a pond that was on the side of the road 
away from the nearby ocean and stopped to watch five Great Blue Heron 
feeding in the same pond. The colours were fabulous. They were 
photographed from the car as apparently they are spooked quite easily by 
humans walking around. They were a sight to behold and made the dreary 
drive worthwhile.

We do not see nature with our eyes, 
but with our understandings and our hearts.
