It 's July 1, Canada Day. If there should be any visitors on the island, they are invisible today. It can't be many. Covid-19 has kept American visitors and those from other Provinces out of New Brunswick.
It's extremely foggy in the morning. By noon it still hasn't cleared, but it's very warm and -non-typical for Campobello- also very muggy. So we head out to the beach at Southern Head. We have the dog with us and hope to have the beach for ourselves. And I also hope to find some wild strawberries.
I got lucky with the strawberries. Some are half an inch long!
The fog has turned the coastal landscape into a mystery scene. What appears to be little islands could just be a patch of fog. It is entirely calm. Some gulls are perched on the rocks. The volcanic rocks, normally under water, are warm from the occasional sunshine pressing through the fog. I stretch out on a sloping patch. It feels so good.
Campobello has something to offer even on a foggy day.
