One joy of summer in Nova Scotia is running carelessly barefoot down a sandy beach, or splashing through the waves as they lap on the shore.

Another joy for me, is strolling along the shore at a snail's pace, enjoying the sights and sounds of the sea. The best part of these strolls is the art work! Mother nature and her tides are very talented artists.

The impressions left by the ocean's tide always amaze me. Below are some images I have caputured on Nova Scotia beaches recently.  Each is a unique work of art, at the hands of the Atlantic Ocean. While I may see a similar pattern during a beach stroll in the future, I will never see these exact same designs again. That is what makes each of these photographs special.

Come, take a stroll with me through Mother Nature's Low Tide Art Gallery......
