From Peggy's Cove and the Swissair Disaster Memorial we headed down to Mahone Bay.  We were in luck because we visited in time to enjoy their annual Scarecrow Festival.  Isla loved spotting all the scarecrows around town.  I might have loved it too.  Mahone Bay was a beautiful place.  It didn't hurt that the sun continued to shine and the ocean was wonderfully calm.  Here are a few of my favourite shots:
