Sharing the beautiful place we call home…

Nearly three months ago to the day I received an email from Alex Mitchell, director and producer of onlyissueco.com. His email stated “We’ve been in talks with the folks at Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, M5 Communications, and Tourism NS about developing a mini-doc highlighting the Fundy Cliffs region and the people that make it great”.Continue reading “Sharing the beautiful place we call home…”

We are blessed with an abundance of Old Man’s Beard” along the coastline. I could not resist capturing some up close and personal images. Hope you enjoy them!

A Day of Firsts…

Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year. When I let the pups out into the backyard in the morning I spotted four quarters on the deck banister and I considered it a good omen. It turns out they were left there last weekend in four inches of snow when a friend feltContinue reading “A Day of Firsts…”

Happy Lunar New Year!

I went to the beach and just about the time I was ready to leave I met my very own dragon! May this be a prosperous year for all of us!

Mid-winter Tour Day!

This morning promised to be a great day! No matter how long we live here the early morning views make for many a “skip a heartbeat” moments. I needed that after the busy two days that are behind me. On Wednesday morning I woke up to an inquiry for a snowshoe tour from David inContinue reading “Mid-winter Tour Day!”

Another busy Wednesday…

The regular walk in the morning… …followed by a snowshoe excursion in the afternoon. These are the things worth sharing. Just finished working on a proposal for five hours. Such tedious work without physical activity… and just like that another day is over! Good night, world!

I just knew it…

…when I roamed the beach last week with the winter storm in the forecast… I deliberately “collected” these treasures along the way! Enjoy!

Storm Stayed

The weather forecast was very accurate this weekend: snow and wind for two full days made for time indoors. These are the kind of days that call for indoor projects like paint touch ups, making a new set of quilted pot holder mitts and finishing a section on my lace knitting project. Can’t wait toContinue reading “Storm Stayed”

And so it begins…

…my first tour registration for June 27th arrived via email on this snowy day today! Thanks @KeepYourDayDream for the opportunity to show you around the Parrsboro Shore area in June 2023.

Chasing the Light…

…all the way to the Redhead Look off. A perfect way to spend the afternoon on Groundhog Day! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Anna

Celebrating Imbolc: Clarke Head Hike

Imbolc commemorates the return of light. I decided on a solitary hike to one of my favourite destinations, the natural stone arch at Clarke Head. It had been exactly one month since I visited last and the changes along the beach were noticeable. Large rocks had been deposited that were not there before, erosion andContinue reading “Celebrating Imbolc: Clarke Head Hike”

Three Waterfalls Hike Event

It was a fabulous day to bring together a group of like-minded people! Together we explored Jeffers Falls, the Old Parrsboro Dam site and Hidden Falls. The sun pushed through the clouds and illuminated some of the most scenic stretches along the trails. Thanks to everyone who joined in.

Winter is here!

And I am doing the happy dance! Three Waterfalls Snowshoe Excursion is confirmed for tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures of our first snowshoe session of the year!

Ice and Snow

On a snow filled and windy Monday I peruse recent images! Can’t wait to get outside again to enjoy this winter wonderland!

Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success

I spent a good part of today, Sunday, scouting. Wednesday, January 31st will be the second free Guided Hike Nova Scotia Winterhike in the Geopark. The Three Waterfalls event was originally advertised for January 12th but had to be changed due to poor trail conditions. I am pleased to announce: We are heading to ThreeContinue reading “Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success”

Snow-covered Trails through the Woods and to the Beach

Two weeks ago I explored this trail when it looked completely different. After some decent snow accumulation I set out again today and discovered a winter wonderland. The bonus was the receding tide which revealed a stunning shale beach. Enjoy the images, happy Saturday!
