In May 2011, after four years of life on McNutt's Island, we moved to Montreal. This blog remains, though, as a (sort of) daily record of our time on the island, and a winding path for anyone who would like to meander about among its magical places. For additional perspectives and insights I recommend Greg's book, Island Year: Finding Nova Scotia (2010), and my Bowl of Light (2012). I'll continue to post once in a while.

Tiny spring




Many varieties of mosses and ferns cover McNutt's Island. This morning you can see fern shoots as they begin to unfold, and two kinds of moss spore cases emerging from their bed of moss.
