Well, okay, my visit missed the actual Celtic Colours music festival by a couple of days (sad but true). But even a short two days on Cape Breton gave me a nice taste of the Celtic heritage of the island—
—as well as a panorama of stunning autumn color, absolutely everywhere I looked.
If that’s not a good consolation prize, I don’t know what is.

Twists and turns
Any days on Cape Breton are good days! I love that you included the beautiful map. We saw the tide come up and went fishing and ate a lot of mackerel which are really delicious. Your beautiful watercolor paintings (I can’t call them sketches) reminded me of some good times. Thank you!
