Shubie Park

Today I went to Shubie park for a hike. What I got wasn't really a hike though - it was mostly just a nice walk.
I was also a bit annoyed by the dogs and their owners there. A large, wet dog ran up to me after bathing in a lake and wanted to be petted. Another one put her face in my lap and made my pants wet with her salvia. And the owners said nothing to stop them.
Later, I had a wonderful chat with two Canadian ladies. They sat next to a lake that I wanted to photograph, and we somehow started talking. We discussed what it means to be Canadian, different ways to measure traveling distances, the environment, and politics. They also told me about the "Halifax explosion", the world's largest pre-atomic explosion.
During my walk, I also saw a surprising amount of tiny squirrels.
Once I returned to the city, I had a late lunch at an Asian dessert restaurant called Sugar Marmalade.Read more
