I had the opportunity to go to the Bowdoin Kent Island Scientific Station in New Brunswick Canada as an Artist in Residence. I was a Bowdoin College student years ago, but didn’t have the opportunity to visit Kent as biology was not my wheelhouse. But the Artist Residency has opened up opportunities for more to experience this magical place.

When a road appears passable on google maps only half of the day, and is "subject to extreme tidal conditions," meaning underwater, you have to drop everything and head to this road! 

So Mia and I headed straight for the road to Minister’s Island, in Saint Andrews by the Sea, New Brunswick. 

When we crossed from Lubec, Maine onto Campobello Island, New Brunswick we discovered that it was Canadian Thanksgiving Day, although I had not realized when I decided to head to the island and Canada for the day.  There was something so apt about this, and it is beautiful the way life speaks up when you let go and listen.
