Here we are! This is my daughter braving the ICY cold wind. We headed out of the city yesterday because it was a mild day but forgot about the WIND.
We decided to head into the Sou'Wester Restaurant for something to warm ourselves up before braving the elements. I love the warm butterscotch colour of these chairs in the sun.
A nice bowl of fish chowder hit the spot nicely. Can you see what I see? Yes, it was chock a block with lobster. I am not a big fan but in a chowder it is nice:) The fish is fresh from the wharf.
Outside it was beautiful but bitter. The wind is merciless but even so, there were a few hearty souls about. A couple of photographers with tripods, just to the left of the lighthouse in front of the rock.
This is the wee village. You can see the top cap of the lighthouse just above the houses in the centre of this picture. To the right, hidden behind the house is the main cove.
On the way home we pulled over so I could take a shot.
Looks like a barren wasteland.
Closer to home, the sun is almost down.

Oh, I enjoyed that so much! Winter can be so beautiful.
Thanks for that, Shelagh. You are a master photographer and I am humbled by your talent.
Your girl is a beauty.
I love the photos especially the one with the houses and all the snow. Beautiful place to be!
We haven't been to Peggy's Cove for about 2 years...time to get back there!
I've heard of Peggy's Cove - but, I have never been there. Actually - I've only been to Victoria Island, Vancouver, Quebec City - and all the little towns in between the New Hampshire border and Quebec City. Stopped in Montreal on the way home - and went to the Casino.
I love Canada...always have -
Thank you for taking such beautiful photos for us to enjoy.
You daugher is lovely.
I love the photograph of your beautiful smiling daughter...and then the ones of inside the restaurant all glowing with the snow outside...and the the gorgeous photographs of the lighthouse in the snowy sunset! It looks like you had one lovely day, a day to place in the jewel-box of memories.
Oh, and thank you so much for your kind words and your visit, it's thrilling and inspiring finding a comment!

Your daughter is beautiful and so were all the pictures. I felt like I was on a little trip!
I don't mind winter, but I sure prefer the other 3 seasons!
The lighthouse picture is beautiful and that fish chowder looks as good as that big hunk of bread off to the side...I bet it hit the spot in such cold weather....It was a lovely 60 degrees here today in Atlanta...no need for nice hot soup...just some cold ice-tea!!
your girl is so funky.
And those shots with the low sun on the snow... breathtaking
What a beautiful place in the world you live, my friend! Even if it's windy and cold, your oh-so-happy spirit brings the sunshine where ever you go.

Lovely pictures and it sounds like a lovely trip. I should have taken pictures of my beach trip - they would look quite different! Your post sure did make me long to be there, snow, cold and fish chowder!

One of my most favorite spots in the world, Shelagh! You and H are lucky to be able to take a jaunt there whenever you feel like it. I love lighthouses, and Peggy's Cove is so unique in it's simplicity, it's hard granite base, and it's quiet town surroundings. It looks divine in winter as you don't have the hoard of tourists climbing all over it.
I had the best warm gingerbread cake at the little restaurant/ gift shop near the lighthouse. Now I wish I had the chowder in the Sou'wester! I LOVE lobster :-)
Someday I'll return to Nova Scotia and see it all again. I enjoy strolling around and learning about Halifax too!
Until then I hope you keep taking photographs for us all to enjoy!
PS: H is gorgeous! I love her hair and beautiful smile
Beautiful pictures! Spring will be here before you know it.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful place and your photos of it are stunning.xo
