This really benefits tremendously from being viewed large. I'm enamored of the texture of the reeds.
Path, Tiengemeten.
Tiengemeten is an island in the Dutch province of South Holland. It is a part of the municipality of Korendijk, and lies about 11 km south of Spijkenisse.
On 10 May 2007, the island was officially given back to nature; its farming inhabitants were relocated and nature has been allowed to work its way undisturbed. New nature reserves are rare in the Netherlands, and since its return to nature, Tiengemeten has become a real wilderness with trackless terrain, flowing creeks and gullies, meadows full of flowers and huge populations of migrating birds, including ospreys and egrets. Some of the marshy pastures are grazed by Highland cattle and other hardy animals. The island has cycle paths and tracks, and also a large earthwork which serves well as an elevated outlook post for birdspotters. Tiengemeten is free of cars and accessible only by water via a small pedestrian- and bike-friendly ferry which runs regularly on the ten-minute crossing between the small port at Nieuwendijk and the island. Alternatively, bikes can be hired on the island, particularly during the summer months. There is ample free car parking at the ferry terminal. Once on the island, Margerita Farm is a short walk from where passengers alight from the ferry, and holds an information centre, gallery space, café and toilets. Walking tours are available, and volunteers are on hand to answer questions. There are regular special nature-related events on the island; biodiversity surveys, open days and special tours. Notices are posted in local press and on websites.

*It should be noted that this is the path up to the small guest house all of these pictures are from. Come summer those arches are encased in bloomed plants and ivy.
I had the opportunity to visit a house on the Fundy Shore with friends to pick something up on Saturday.
The house is located just above Port George and has been featured in several major House and Garden magazines.
As Shannon said, "Is this heaven?" It turns out it was.
The owners lead a beautiful life building, creating, designing, gardening and living entirely in the moment of whatever inspiration strikes them. Their art-work is magnificent, spanning the entire property and encompassing not any one space but their entire plot of land.
It is a place I hope to return to and the three of us that visited felt very lucky to have been able to go.
