Ok Rebecca, you asked for it and being you are offering an all expenses paid trip to Utah to the winner (just kidding) here is my entry to your challenge. Sorry it is a little long but there is so much to say about Nova Scotia. Hugs
P.S. The attached picture is of me and our own AD's Rose (my cousin) who has adopted Nova Scotia as her home too.

Nova Scotia,

My Home Snuggled By The Sea

 

By: Fee

 

 

 

There’s this place that I am proud of

Gather around I’ll tell you more

About the magic beauty of Nova Scotia

Where I live my days along its shore

 

Surrounded by the North Atlantic

With the worlds most highest tide

The famous beauty of the Cabot Trail

Makes my heart fill with so much pride

 

Then there’s old historic Halifax town

With its fortress called Citadel Hill

Just below the ghost of Oscar Wilde

Can be often seen there just as well

 

There’s the trail of Evangeline

It’s said here the poets love to dream

And apple blossom time in the Valley

Is like nothing you have ever seen

 

I can’t forget the Peggy’s Cove

Where the lighthouse stands alone

Sending a welcome cross the sea

For all to come on home

 

Now you’ll find five star hotels

But also quaint Victorian B & B’s

You’ll even find wilderness camping

Sheltered in forests of pine trees

 

Steam up lobsters, mussels and clams

On a seaside beaches of white sand

Or catch a two pound speckled trout

In cool pristine lakes a further inland

 

Winter time snow for all you ski buffs

Miles of trails for summer time fun

Believe me the sceneries perfect

Whether you like to bike, walk or run

 

There’s so much more I could tell

I know I could fill a book twice

But instead save your money and visit

This little place of God’s own paradise…

This is so interesting, Fee!!! I've often think of Nova Scotia and its beauty. No wonder Rose has adopted Nova Scotia as her second home. Heeehee!!! Wish I were there too.

Wonderful write, Fee!!!

One of the few dreams that I've had since I was very young, was to visit Australia, and New Zealand....then because I met a few people from Nova Scotia who were so kind and funny....I knew I had to add it to my list... These places are yet to be discovered...but you have brought me closer with your writings...and believe me...if I ever land your way...you had better be ready for this Tornado... :-)) lindalaw

I'd love to visit Nova Scotia (or CANADA)! Been to Canada before, in 1974 (Niagara Falls); still remember it all these years later! Beautiful country, beautiful people! Very well penned, Fee; bravo!

Hmmm, I always pictured myself somewhere on the north east corner of the U.S. as a retired horse trainer and full time writer. (You know, one of those with grayish hair, snugled up in a blanket watching the seagulls fly from my back porch) But the way you describe your home - maybe I'll reconsider and make that step across the border. Living in Detroit for four years, I did visit Canada a lot, but never made it that far north. I should have, though.
Wonderful write from a wonderful pen.
Love,
Becca~

Now, been around your turf, great lobsters but no redheads, and the place was full of Canadians!
Now, if you want a full expenses paid trip to California to see what the real world looks like apply with Rebecca.
But I loved my times in Nova Scotia! Yarmouth, Halifax, Sidney...

Fee - I have a photo standing exactly where you are! - your poem brings back memories of Halifax -the sea, the streets, the fort, Peggy's Cove - of course Oscar, lobster, Celtic music, friendly people, boardwalks, fish and chips - beer - and the houses inland by the water, the trees - wow! if you see a lass called Katrina would you say Hi from me?! I remember it is all so pristine, fresh, and no litter - coming from grim and grimey inner city London i wondered if everywhere was polished at night, including the leaves on the trees!! What a lovely rhymer of your home turf - really enjoyed to read :)) xx
