Yesterday’s epic hike meant an early morning for all. I met my ride just before 5 a. m. at the Parrsboro Tim Hortons. It was still dark with a bright moon guiding the way. The winding drive to West Advocate to the meeting place takes 45 minutes. Everyone was gathered there by 5:45, ready toContinue reading “Refugee Cove Hike Impressions, Part 1”

Check in from the Mermaid’s Cove…
I left the house at 4:45 am today to join my hiking group. We are enroute to Refugee Cove… just checking in along the way!
Graceful…
There it was, an ancient tree with roots raised like a dancer lifts a leg. Covered in moss and dappled with sunlight… …such a wonderful discovery in the forest. Happy Monday, everyone!

Exploring the Bigger Picture
It’s no secrets how passionate I am about “the beach.” But what exactly is it that I find so fascinating? For me it’s all about I what find after taking in the view. Last Sunday in West Advocate I discovered tide pools. I had not found any like this since I started roaming various beachesContinue reading “Exploring the Bigger Picture”
Skipping Stones…
Which stone skips furthest Question posed ‘tween child and man – Last night at sunset.
Exploring New Territory
When the invitation to join a hike to Seal Cove was posted on my FaceBook hiking group I decided to bow out of writing group and join the adventure instead. The trailhead to Seal Cove is well over an hour from Parrsboro. I headed to Apple River and into unknown territory beyond, a true adventureContinue reading “Exploring New Territory”
A long day of hiking…
…leaves me with just enough energy to post a few images. I joined a hiking buddy for a 12 km round-trip leg from Eatonville to Seal Cove along the Chignecto Trail.. Enjoy! More tomorrow, Anna
Wasson’s Bluff to Clarke Head…
…”I don’t think you can do that…” was the answer to my question shortly after we arrived in late 2020. I had inquired with the walking group I belonged to at the time. It’s taken me nearly 18 months to prove to myself that crossing the mudflats is definitely an option. I arrived at Wasson’sContinue reading “Wasson’s Bluff to Clarke Head…”
Tranquil Moments
The tide moving in With waves lapping at the shore – Happy Mother’s Day!
Sunset Beachwalk #468
The most restorative activity for me is a beach walk at sunset. No words are necessary. I just breathe and stay open to what nature presents. Best wishes for a tranquil day, Anna
Partridge Island Beach Rocks
Ottawa House Beach is a popular destination for gentle walks. Earlier this week I arrived at a time when the tide was receding. Glooscap Grandmother’s Cooking Pots we’re bubbling, seaweed and kelp adorned the pebbles along the high tide line. The basalt cliffs beckoned… I headed in their direction and discovered a whole new beach…Continue reading “Partridge Island Beach Rocks”
Beach Walk at Sunset
When low tide coincides with the Golden Hour the beach is calling. It was high time after several days of rain and chilly breezes… I hope you enjoy the results of my solitary contemplative walk. Happy Tuesday, Anna
My Sunday afternoon search for the sun…
…was somewhat successful. At the end the clouds parted and revealed tiny spots of blue! These images are from down shore at Diligent River and Fox River. The capture with the red chair is titled “Is it Summer yet?” Happy Monday, everyone! May the sun shine brightly wherever you are today. Best wishes, Anna
Exploring The Joggins Fossil Cliffs Beach
It was a blue sky kind-of-day when we left Parrsboro on Sunday noon. The closer we got to our destination the more clouds shrouded the sky. Grey sky is not something that deters me easily and as we arrived at the parking lot next to the Joggings Cliffs Centre, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, IContinue reading “Exploring The Joggins Fossil Cliffs Beach”
Exhale!
The weather changed from sunny to overcast with a brisk wind while we travelled to The Joggins Fossil Cliffs yesterday afternoon. The reward for braving the wind was that we had the vast beach to ourselves. Here is a teaser photo for a longer post coming tomorrow! Happy Monday! Anna Th
Phinney Green on a Saturday Morning
It was an exhale kind of moment when we arrived at one of the best kept secrets along the Bay of Fundy this morning. It always gives me such pleasure to bring new friends to this particular beach with its rich natural history and diverse geological formations. Lori, my friend, was in awe as theContinue reading “Phinney Green on a Saturday Morning”
A Perfect Day…
…for a quick hike to Clarke Head before the tide rolls in! Yesterday’s sunshine was very inviting. In fact, I decided first thing in the morning that Clarke Head was calling! As always, there was a lot to take in and explore. This stretch along the Parrsboro Shore in the Minas Basin is always hardContinue reading “A Perfect Day…”
Driftwood and Sky
There is something about these natural sculptures against a moody sky that fascinates me… Happy Wednesday, Anna
Golden Light
It was a beautiful day yesterday, Easter Monday. We had appointments in Amherst all day and I missed my opportunity for a longer hike. Instead I carved out time for a sunset walk. I am always in awe of Golden Hour, that time before the sun slips beyond the horizon. The light seems to paintContinue reading “Golden Light”
