Sometimes…

Sometimes one just had to pull back from the big landscape views available and go inward. The light was perfect this morning. Filtering through the hedges, illuminating tips of individual leaves, casting shadows and providing countless opportunities to capture images in just one very small area. Happy Thursday to you all. Best wishes, Anna

July Outing to Clarke Head

It has been a glorious morning already. I just returned from a quick hike to Clarke Head, my favourite place close to Parrsboro. After all the rain yesterday todays sunshine provides a welcome change. It is summer after all! Not a cloud in the sky, waves crashing at the shore and not a soul inContinue reading “July Outing to Clarke Head”

Evening Walk as the Fog Rolls in…

There is something contemplative about walking in the mist. Last night it became apparent that the weather was about to change. With the change of the tide mist began to rise off the Bay of Fundy waters in the Minas Basin. Cape Blomidon was quickly shrouded in fog, Cape Split was already invisible as wasContinue reading “Evening Walk as the Fog Rolls in…”

Just had to do it again!

…walking around Two Islands, that is! A small group got together this morning and crossed over to the Big Island. This time we walked counter-clockwise. I tried to weigh one route against the other and they measure up equally. I was glad I had made the treck just a couple of days ago as IContinue reading “Just had to do it again!”

Return to Soley’s Cove as the Tide Rolls in

My friend and I were looking for a less populated beach to explore this morning. We found just what we were looking for at Soley’s Cove in Lower Economy. We removed our shoes and walked through the fine red sand for a bonus pedicure… …uttering with gratitude in our voices “We live here!” Enjoy theContinue reading “Return to Soley’s Cove as the Tide Rolls in”

Circumnavigating Two Islands

Today has been momentous: I joined a hiking friend in a walk around the Two Islands and it was amazing. I have always been fascinated by these basalt giants but after actually crossing the knee-high water at low tide toward Big Brother I have a whole new appreciation for these geological formations. The rocky beachContinue reading “Circumnavigating Two Islands”

Sharing the Experience!

As newcomers to the Parrsboro Shore you know that you belong once you have experienced the “Meeting of the Waters” at Two Islands around the full moon. Another new member to the community reached out last week to find out more about hiking and exploring the beaches. I decided to share the ultimate experience withContinue reading “Sharing the Experience!”

NSWalks Parrsboro

Once a week I lead a walking group right here in Parrsboro. Anyone is welcome to join! Membership is free. During July and August we meet up and walk Monday evenings to escape the daytime heat. Tonight we circumnavigated the Parrsboro Lighthouse, a nice change of scenery and pace. Each walk is unique and theseContinue reading “NSWalks Parrsboro”

Lighthouse Beach in Parrsboro

It’s a glorious summer day here in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia. Time for a short excursion close to home. I decided to get out to the lighthouse as the tide was going out. I have been here once before. That experience was vastly different… it was early January and the wind was howling. Today’s excursion wasContinue reading “Lighthouse Beach in Parrsboro”

Jewels in the grass…

I haven’t had a lot of beach time lately but there is always something to appreciate! I call these raindrops “jewels” as they sparkle and glisten on the clump of grass… But then there is the evening sky tonight: emulating a water colour painting. So soothing and calm. May your Friday evening be blessed withContinue reading “Jewels in the grass…”

Random Impressions…

Some much deserved backyard love…

…or more appropriately: Poppy Love! I have always delighted in growing poppies. During our last years in Calgary we had a poppy bed in the front yard people would drive to and take photographs of. We took some of the seeds with us when we moved to Saskatchewan. But, no matter how hard we tried,Continue reading “Some much deserved backyard love…”

Charting New Territory

I am always up for an adventure and exploring areas I have not visited before. I was invited to join friends and their German visitors to explore the other side of Partridge Island. This has been on my bucket list ever since I enjoyed the view from the look off from the top. As withContinue reading “Charting New Territory”

Happy Canada Day!

I can hardly believe it: this is our second Canada Day living in Nova Scotia. Time seemed to just fly! The day promises to be filled with great activities. Our choir will be performing at Ottawa House by the Sea. I snapped the picture above during our dress rehearsal last night. There is also aContinue reading “Happy Canada Day!”
