Seeking and Finding Inspiration

When winter days appear too similar, without too many changes and little easing of the cold it’s time to examine the landscape for subtle changes. Inspiration is everywhere: from snow covered backyards polished by rain and wind to shards of ice reaching from their watery depths like alligators. A five minute backyard excursion yields visualContinue reading “Seeking and Finding Inspiration”

Morning Glow…

Greetings from an ice covered Nova Scotia! For most of the night we witnessed rain mixed with ice-pellets and this morning cars are covered in shiny icy crusts… the roads are very slippery… businesses are either staying shut or closing early adding an extra day of rest for the weekend. The images I am sharingContinue reading “Morning Glow…”

Small Surprises

While scanning the shoreline during my backyard excursion this tiny area caught my attention. A large ice floe was pushed up against the shore casting a protective shadow over the hoarfrost covered clump of dry grass… a truly contemplative moment. May your Thursday be filled with sunshine. Best wishes, Anna

Ever-changing!

I don’t have to venture far when it comes to beautiful sights that inspire: our backyard provides amazing subject matter for my daily post. After a long day on the road Monday, I didn’t feel like heading to the beach. My heart still got a workout navigating over and through snow drifts as I madeContinue reading “Ever-changing!”

Contrast

Finding interest in a snowy landscape thanks to a branch ripped from the tree during last weekend’s storm is a nice change from the usual beach. The afternoon light was perfect for casting shadows and adding drama to this humble backyard scene… Enjoy your day. Best wishes, Anna

Digging out…

… from the latest snow storm! We are grateful: for heat, electricity, good food and the amazing caring neighbours who lend a hand where needed! Thank you Parrsboro! Happy Sunday. We look forward to sunny weather shortly. Best wishes, Anna

Storm Stayed…

Yes, it’s the weekend and after a reprieve from snow and wind last weekend we make up for it this time. It’s the third weather system in Atlantic Canada this January and the snow is being driven sideways. We were warned about the “weather bomb” earlier in the week and I was so grateful thatContinue reading “Storm Stayed…”

Colour Burst

I wasn’t going to share this image here because I already posted this amazing sunset capture on my Instagram and FaceBook accounts. However, I realize not everyone uses social media. When a personal request to repost my image on a local community FaceBook bulletin board arrived a little while ago I decided to share theContinue reading “Colour Burst”

No matter what the weather…

Clarke Head on a Sunday morning… moving from light snow to full sunshine along the Fundy Shore!

Destination: Parrsboro Dam

Ten months ago I tried to find the trail to the Parrsboro Dam for the first time. I didn’t find it then but I kept the goal to hike there on my bucket list. Yesterday was the day to visit…

Mood Enhancer…

The plan was for a quick walk to clear the head… it turned into two hours of bliss while exploring the beach and everything on my way there!

The Reprieve…

We are just winding down from one storm and preparing for another to arrive later today… we will be fine thanks to the glorious day we enjoyed yesterday!
