Summer Day on Lower Mac Run<\/strong><\/a>
\nPhotos by David P.\u00a0 A bit beyond York Redoubt heading towards Herring Cove on Purcell’s Cove Road there is a “Fire Road” on the right that goes into crown land and the Pine Island Ponds. I have hiked there often, through spectacular barrens, both before and after the fire of 2009, once on the lakes in winter. On Aug.7, 2013, I went there with my newly acquired FastTrack kayak to realize a little day dream: doing it by water. I enjoyed some beautiful wetlands and refreshing, brown (but clean) water.

Regeneration of Forest and Barrens after the Spryfield Fire of April 30, 2009<\/a><\/strong>
\nPhotos by David P. A set of photos illustrates the regeneration of vegetation over 16 months after an intense fire swept through forest and barrens in the vicinity of Spryfield, Nova Scotia on April 30, 2009. The fire destroyed twelve homes. The photos are from two areas: the Purcell’s Cove Conservation Lands, and on crown land in the vicinity of Lower Mud Pond. This landscape is particularly fire-susceptible and supports a unique plant community adapted to recurrent fires.<\/p>\n

\nThis 360 degree panoramic view gives a sense of the extent of this pocket of wilderness, also of it’s situation within a larger urban area and of creeping encroachment by concrete and asphalt. Photos on Aug. 25, 2012.\u00a0Photos by David P.<\/p>\n

Backland Gardens<\/a><\/strong>
\nThe glacially scraped landscape of the Purcell’s Backlands presents a mosaic of habitats and species hard to match, especially in their beauty and serenity. On a not too sultry summer day (Aug 3rd, 2013), Nova Scotian nature nuts Nick H. and David P. bushwhacked their way across the landscape in search of a Jack Pine swamp they had seen earlier in the year. (Jack Pine is unusual in a wetland setting.)<\/p>\n
