Turtle Trials

It's part of the road and The Turtle does it well. She has the luck of the Irish and the pot of gold  in her sweet little heart! Four thousand miles for this trip to Maine and Nova Scotia. More repairs that usual. I think the Turtle really likes the attention. W e never had time to pretty-up. Please Lord just keep her going! Prayers and my bank account. We had enough. Always.

For My Namesake

The meaning of Glory lies here in Peggy's Cove. Idyllic, Lyrical. The visual highlight of my two thousand mile journey. The Turtle grew a lighthouse as a hood ornament to commemorate this most epic Nova Scotia venture. It had my name written all over it! I went for the name alone. Doesn't take a lot to get me out on the road.

Monumental Acts of Place

This is my 5th year of traveling in The Turtle. I must be erecting monuments along the way. At least with my camera if nothing else. It is 2015, Mid July into mid August. From my home in the mountains of North Carolina all the way to Peggy's Cove in Nova Scotia. Blue and white  tinged with pink from the Bay of Fundy. A religious experience, An act of place.
