New-To-Me-Beach Hike

Yesterday morning started out full of magic… this was the view from my living room window. I was ready soon after to join my friend for a hike to a beach I had never explored. We drove to Advocate Harbour and parked at the foot of the “hump”, the bottom of where the road toContinue reading “New-To-Me-Beach Hike”

Redhead Look-off and Five Islands Provincial Park Hike Recap

A warm autumn day, sunshine, perfect morning light and a bald eagle overhead… We parked our car in the parking lot near the Provincial Park gate and set out for the trail head. I had hiked the Redhead Look-off Trail once in February. While a light dusting of snow presented a magical winter landscape IContinue reading “Redhead Look-off and Five Islands Provincial Park Hike Recap”

Trail Scouting Day

We set out with the intention of hiking to Red Head Look-off in Five Islands Provincial Park only. The biggest reward was the way the cliff colours were illuminated just as we arrived at our destination. With the great weather we decided to hike through the campground and head toward the Estuary Trail, but notContinue reading “Trail Scouting Day”

Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island

It was my first time since Tropical Storm Lee had pounded our shoreline. And the changes I saw today were surprising. It really drove home the fact that the erosion of our shores is relentless. My goal this morning was to access the back beach at Partridge Island, it was the last day of veryContinue reading “Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island”

Witnessing the fog lift…

…from Ottawa House-by-the-Sea beach. It was a tranquil Friday morning. I didn’t have to share the beach with anyone. What a treat! There was only 15 minutes between the first and last image of Ottawa House. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend so far!

Soley Cove With Explorers from B. C.

The weather could not have been more perfect for our Soley Cove Tour. The brief was for “red cliffs” and Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers delivered! I was able to throw in a few sea stacks for good measure… … and the reward were smiles all around

Abundance!!!

It has been a stellar year for mushrooms! The rain, high humidity and warm temperatures created the perfect environment for various mushrooms. While I am only confident to pick three varieties for consumption I am busy preserving my last haul of close to 20 lbs (cleaned) chanterelles and Hydnum sp., otherwise known as hedgehogs. TheContinue reading “Abundance!!!”

Waiting for Lee…

Hurricane Lee is steadily advancing. With most of our preparations completed I felt the need to head to the beach. I was amazed by the calm that awaited. Diligent River Beach was approaching low tide and the light was soft and magical. It had been a while since my last visit. I could barely believeContinue reading “Waiting for Lee…”

I was treated to some stunning textures in the sky that seemed to intensify the coloursContinue reading “Drama in the Sky around Clarke Head”

Hot and Humid Beach Hike: Summary in Three Videos

Soley Cove approximately 2 Hours and 15 minutes after high tide I started on familiar territory, the sandy, easy to navigate Soley Cove beach and finished at Five Islands Provincial Park Day-use Area. There was sand, red mud, seaweed hiding some quicksand-like sections that sucked my legs in to well above my ankles and, justContinue reading “Hot and Humid Beach Hike: Summary in Three Videos”
