When the Fog Rolls in…

While walking to the beach yesterday I noticed the fog rolling in. With the mournful song of the fog horn accompanying the mist I could hardly wait to get to the pier. What awaited me was a real treat for the senses. The fog seems to muffle the sounds, everything appears more quiet, almost likeContinue reading “When the Fog Rolls in…”

Twelve Days Later Than Planned…

…but I finally made it to my monthly destination, Clarke Head. It was a grey day, with rain in the forecast. A little rain was not going to deter my friend and I when we set out shortly after the tide turned yesterday afternoon. The walk was wonderful and just what I yearned for. ThisContinue reading “Twelve Days Later Than Planned…”

Sunset Beach Walk at Diligent River Beach

Oh how wonderful it felt to get to the beach at sunset last night! We brought along the pups and they had a grand time marking spots, sniffing out treasures and jumping over obstacles. The sunset brought rich golds and oranges with the blue sky reflecting off the calm waters in the channel. There isContinue reading “Sunset Beach Walk at Diligent River Beach”

Blue Morning

The light is mysterious this morning. What is most welcome is the lack of snow today. Perfect conditions for the weekly walk I am about to lead under the auspices of NSWalks. Enjoy your day, wherever you may live! Best wishes, Anna

High above Wasson’s Bluff

Saturday was a gorgeous spring day. We visited friends who overlook Two Islands. The views are always a treat. Cape Blomidon in the distance… It was great to connect with friends after another long winter mostly socially distancing. …and some lovely garden finds. Happy Monday, my friends!

First Beach Walk

The afternoon brought sunshine after the overnight rain. I made it to the beach for my first real post-surgery walk. Slowly gaining energy and strength. Grateful for our amazing beaches. Hope your Sunday was filled with sunshine! Best wishes, Anna

Fractured…

I am reposting some images from late December. Since it will be some time before I see myself walking and exploring the beaches close to home I am loosing myself in the images I have gathered. This is from the beach at Five Islands Lighthouse Park, one of the magical spots along the Minas BasinContinue reading “Fractured…”

Inner Harbour Exploration

Yesterday was another sunny day and with half an hour to spare between commitments I went out for a quick walk. Parrsboro has a rich shipbuilding and seafaring history. The harbour is gone and much has changed but remnants of the old docks provide great opportunities to explore. The anchor holds much symbolism on multipleContinue reading “Inner Harbour Exploration”

Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season

It’s Maple Sugar Season! And there is no need to head out to a remote sugar bush… trees have been tapped all over town. These are images of what I came across yesterday during my afternoon walk. My timing was great as the sun was casting long, dramatic shadows. The sap has been running sinceContinue reading “Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season”

Anticipation…

The rainy day yesterday led to a light dusting of snow overnight. While scrolling through images I was drawn to the one featured today. It was created on a warm November day last year. For me it holds the promise of warmer days, calmer days and days that bring peace, better health for all andContinue reading “Anticipation…”

Rays of Hope

I captured this image about ten weeks ago. It was late 2021, a moody day with constant light changes presented me with this mesmerizing vista. I found myself behind seaweed covered boulders just in time for the sun to push through the clouds to illuminate the waters of the Minas Basin May this day beContinue reading “Rays of Hope”

Gilbert Hill Vista

One of the best places in the Parrsboro area to watch the sunset would be from Gilbert Hill. With Cape Split in the distance, Partridge Island illuminated by the setting sun this view takes my breath away every time. The day I witnessed the setting of the sun the full reward came after the goldenContinue reading “Gilbert Hill Vista”
