Sometimes the best days are those that are planned at the spur of the moment. Today was such a day! Two lovely guests to Parrsboro were interested in exploring the shore. We made it to Phinney Green just before high tide. The clouds parted and the sun illuminated the beach perfectly for pictures. The afternoonContinue reading “Tour Day!”

A Break in the Rain
My walking group last night was not deterred from heading out for an after dinner jaunt through the rain drenched woods. It wasn’t all that bad: the rain was gentle and warm. The much needed moisture continued through the night and all morning today. When it finally subsided I saw my chance to head backContinue reading “A Break in the Rain”
Red Rocks Beach in West Advocate and Cape d’Or
I had the pleasure of leading a bus tour with 26 participants down shore yesterday. Our first destination was West Advocate where the Red Rocks beckoned. The group even spotted a seal close to shore in the waters of the outgoing tide. The landscape was shrouded in mist for most of the day. As weContinue reading “Red Rocks Beach in West Advocate and Cape d’Or”
Quiet Time Before Sunset…
Took my Hampton Cruiser for a loop around town last night. There was a concert at The Hall and the streets were deserted. It suited me just fine as I did not have to compete with too many cars for space on the roads. My destination was First Beach. The light was soft, there wasContinue reading “Quiet Time Before Sunset…”
The Gull
Single gull waiting Perched on a breakwater rock – Great expectations…
Heat Wave
We are enjoying a hot summer here in the Bay of Fundy. Hot days usually start with a misty morning, the fog horn sounding from the Parrsboro lighthouse and feeling like I need another shower after walking my dogs. As the day progresses the fog lifts and the promise of finding relief from the heatContinue reading “Heat Wave”
My Hampton Cruiser…
Yeah, my friend who is handy in tuning bikes dropped off my reconditioned Hampton Cruiser this morning. Two broken spokes, aligning the back wheel, polishing the rusty bell to give an old-fashioned, less jarring “ding-dong” sound was all that was really needed to get it road-worthy. My first test ride took me to the groceryContinue reading “My Hampton Cruiser…”
A Lonely Rose
Sometimes a walk around town doesn’t yield much in terms of perceptional flashes. A rose in bloom with several more buds emerging and getting ready to unfold was a wonderful discovery today. Enjoy pondering this treasure found in a lot full of weeds. Happy Wednesday! Best wishes, Anna
Tiny Raindrops…
These tiny raindrops Lining the edge of the leaf – Magic to behold

The Dutchman Dairy Exotic Animal Farm in Economy, NS
One destination left to fully explore in our area has been the Dutchman Dairy Animal Enclosure. I snowshoed through parts of it last March and knew then that I would bring the grandchildren when they come for a visit. We made it there last Wednesday. Admission per person is $4.25+tax. Children receive two small bagsContinue reading “The Dutchman Dairy Exotic Animal Farm in Economy, NS”
When the Fog Lifted…
After a day of regrouping and dealing with a quiet house I made time for a Beachwalk. First and Second Beaches were shrouded in most, the fog horn sending its piercing sound across the water. As we rounded the point the fog had lifted and revealed some stunning colours. It was time to fully exhaleContinue reading “When the Fog Lifted…”
The Swing
Lonely and quiet The swing in the old oak tree – Children have gone home…
Green Tendril….
Sometimes it’s the small things that catch your eye… this green spiralling tendril demanded my full attention among children, animals and colourful plantings. May pondering it bring you peace today. Best wishes, Anna
Soley Cove Vistas and Impressions
Soley Cove in my books has a special notation. I call it “The Magic Beach”! Today’s photo essay might just bring some magic to your day. Enjoy, Anna
UNESCO World Heritage Site: Joggings Fossil Cliffs
I finally made it to the Joggings Fossil Cliffs Interpretive Centre. In the past we hardly came across a soul. Yesterday the parking lot was filled with a large tour bus and cars from across Canada and Eastern US. It is good to see that Nova Scotia’s primary industry, tourism, is rebounding! With family visitingContinue reading “UNESCO World Heritage Site: Joggings Fossil Cliffs”
Just A Girl Exploring the Ocean Floor…
The best place to see out a hot day is the beach as the tide tools in! We looked for treasures along the shore, gathered some to create instant art works, pulling out this, inserting that. It was labour the cooling breeze and enjoying that moment. Wishing you all a blissful Monday. Cheers, Anna
The Linden Tree…
….in full bloom… surrounded by buzzing bees… Sunday moments from Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Enjoy, Anna
Colour everywhere!
Colourful rocky beaches are what I have come to expect along the Fundy Shore. No matter how often I return to the same beach new discoveries are never far off. This heart was waiting for me this morning! Happy Saturday! Best wishes, Anna
It’s Summer… It’s Lake Time!
Leake Lake is a hidden gem located just outside the Parrsboro town limits close to the Sunshine Inn Cottages. It’s a recent addition on the Fundy GeoPark destination map, a place I had not previously explored. With family visiting it was the perfect place to check out and cool down in during a hot afternoon!Continue reading “It’s Summer… It’s Lake Time!”
