Road Hike to Cape d’Or

I am calling this a “road hike” because that is exactly what we did today. We met at the bottom of the first hill on the Cape d’Or access road in Advocate. I joined the first group hike of 2023 expecting more of an adventure on less travelled paths. In the end I was notContinue reading “Road Hike to Cape d’Or”

Fox Point Beach as The Tide Recedes

Fox Point Beach is located in the small community of Fox River. From the first time I visited here it has always held special attraction for me. Andy Goldsworthy, English sculptor, photographer, and environmentalist who produces site-specific sculptures and land art situated in natural and urban settings has actually worked on this particular beach. IContinue reading “Fox Point Beach as The Tide Recedes”

Wasson’s Bluff Excursion

I kicked off a new and free hiking program in Parrsboro today. The fact that one hiker showed up means that it is already a success! Maddie and I set out to Wasson’s Bluff as planned. But as we arrived at the beach we assessed our situation in relation to the tide and decided toContinue reading “Wasson’s Bluff Excursion”

Wasson’s Bluff Two Islands Beach

It was lightly snowing in Parrsboro today but I had to scout a beach for a hike scheduled for Wednesday. Risk Assessment and hazard reduction/elimination is first and foremost on a field leader’s mind when planning a group hike. The approach to this beach can be difficult with washed out sections but today it passedContinue reading “Wasson’s Bluff Two Islands Beach”

Happy New Year!

It was a bit of a tough decision between cuddling the pups on the couch… …and grabbing my backpack to explore nature in the rain. The call of Clarke Head and the beach won out. I arrived about 45 minutes before low tide. The rain had stopped as soon as I arrived on the beachContinue reading “Happy New Year!”

The Last Day of 2022

From first light till sunset (which was not too memorable nor visible) it was a perfect day to say good bye to 2022. There was just enough time to get in one more walk at Five Islands Lighthouse Park Beach complete with collecting 7 lbs of trash. Good night world! See you in 2023! BestContinue reading “The Last Day of 2022”

Best Birthday Ever!

What does a cargo space in our SUV stuffed with beach trash have to do with the best birthday ever? It signifies the sense of community along the Parrsboro shore where friends come together and pitch in to reduce trash along the Bay of Fundy.. Together, in 2.5 hours, we pulled 175.5 lbs of trashContinue reading “Best Birthday Ever!”

Spring Tide

We don’t see this often: a fishing boat visible from across the parking lot of the pier in full view! It’s a sign of the extreme high tides referred to as ‘spring tide.” Turning to the left toward the Minas Basin the Parrsboro lighthouse has waves lapping at the foundation and the approach to theContinue reading “Spring Tide”

Backyard Red Pine Tree Study

The bottom of our backyard is a favourite place for the pups to romp. This morning, with snow flakes dancing from the sky, I joined them in their favourite spot. It gave me time to take a look around. As branches were covered with a layer of snow I became more aware of intersecting linesContinue reading “Backyard Red Pine Tree Study”

Contemplative Walk

The light mid-morning was beautiful as I set out for a short walk through the Winter Wonderland, otherwise known as Parrsboro. I focused on familiar landscape transformed by the Christmas Day snowfall. I hope you enjoyed my Boxing Day walk. It was refreshing to venture out after two days in and out of the kitchenContinue reading “Contemplative Walk”

A White Christmas After All!

The snow began around midnight and this morning the world was transformed. At the bottom of the backyard Canada Geese are gently conversing with the ducks, floating on the river while Ash and Teak chase each other. Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas Day. May you spend it with family and friends, or celebrate it theContinue reading “A White Christmas After All!”

Winter Solstice Hike to Clarke Head

What happens when you bring together five dynamic women for a beach hike on December 21st? Let me tell you the story in pictures and a few words… The weather forecast was favourable! Here are the comparisons from yesterday to today: There were exclamations like “best beach walk ever!” and “we are so lucky withContinue reading “Winter Solstice Hike to Clarke Head”

Perfect Weather…

…to test some recently acquired gear. It’s been quite wet here in Parrsboro along the Fundy shore. Today the weather wasn’t too sure what to do. There was a bit of snow first thing but the rain was creating some interesting melt patterns. By the time I had my pack assembled and changed into weatherContinue reading “Perfect Weather…”

Maple Leaves Forever…

I was going through my images today and maple leaves through the seasons caught my eye. Maple leaves hold my attention and whether I admire their glowing colour during autumn or a single specimen past it’s prime and half-buried in snow, maple leaves are always worth taking note of. Wishing you all a wonderful andContinue reading “Maple Leaves Forever…”

A Snowy Morning…

The “big” snowstorm passed us by last night! The air was refreshing making for brisk walking conditions for our weekly walk. My “snow maidens” were hesitant at first but after a short review of dressing in layers and keeping our core warm we soon fell into a good pace. Big smiles, sunshine and a blueContinue reading “A Snowy Morning…”
