Canine Companion Hike in Wentworth Station

I ventured a little further afield today. My friend and hiking buddy is house and pet sitting in Wentworth Station, a 1hr15min drive from Parrsboro. We decided to keep it simple and explore the forest trail to the look-off near her home away from home. It was a great excursion through the woods. Snow wasContinue reading “Canine Companion Hike in Wentworth Station”

Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends

It’s been a fabulous day here! One highlight was our personal “dance” lesson with “The Mistress of the Bay”, the mighty Bay of Fundy Tide. We set out about 45 minutes after low tide and experienced this beach a little different. None of us are slow walkers but we witnessed the water getting close toContinue reading “Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends”

Thomas Cove, Part Three

All good things come in threes… at least that’s what my grandmother used to say. The sun beckoned today and I could not stay inside. So, back to Thomas Cove, I went with my friend Robyn. It was time for checking trails for the third time this week😃 The tide was rolling in, the windContinue reading “Thomas Cove, Part Three”

Yesterday…

…Mother Nature sent a message to remind us to stay humble. Snow and freezing rain created fleeting jewels on tree branches and beach treasures. The ice crust and icicles didn’t last long after I captured them in photos. Friday blessings Anna

Clarke Head Afternoon Hike

It was a quiet, contemplative excursion to Clarke Head this afternoon. We spent time examining rocks, discovering pyrite, admiring more sparkle on the water, walking among seaweed covered rocks and soaking in the spring breeze. Happy Monday! Best wishes for a productive week, Anna

Cape d’Or Never Disappoints!

It was grey, we had some snow but the closer we got to Cape d’Or the more blue sky appeared! We hiked in on the main road (somewhere during the planning stages I misunderstood that we would be exploring the woods…😜). Instead we had an uphill hike both ways… excellent for conditioning for more strenuousContinue reading “Cape d’Or Never Disappoints!”

Parrsboro…

We were fooled into believing that Old Man Winter had finally moved on yesterday! The water in the Aboiteau was so calm, the reflections clear. This was the view during our Wednesday morning walk… …here is a close up of reflections and shoreline. I will spare you an image of the swirling snow flakes fromContinue reading “Parrsboro…”

The Crack

Cliff erosion is constant due to wind, tidal wave action, rain and temperature changes. A year ago this crack was not visible in the giant Jurassic era sandstone formation. When I discovered it I could not help myself but hum Leonard Cohen’s “Anthem,” especially the passage ‘There is a crack in anything… That’s how theContinue reading “The Crack”

Clarke Head “Clear Your Head With a Friend” Hike

On the spur of the moment my friend Lori and I decided to head to Clarke Head as the tide rushed out late afternoon Tuesday. It was the perfect ending to a busy day. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing Thursday evening. We are safely tucked in with Old MannWinter holding on and gifting usContinue reading “Clarke Head “Clear Your Head With a Friend” Hike”

Diligent River Beach in the Mist

Diligent River Beach makes for a fantastic low tide destination in any weather. After exploring it in sunshine just two days ago I returned with two hiking friends this afternoon. The rain held off till we were almost back at the car. From the warf to the Ramshead River the return distance is roughly 5Continue reading “Diligent River Beach in the Mist”

Waiting Out The Storm

It’s mid-March and we are looking at “sideways snow” outside our windows. Once the wind picked up this afternoon I could no longer ignore the fact that Old Man Winter isn’t quite done with us yet. Perhaps reviewing some of the recent beach ice images will lift everyone’s spirit.😊 Enjoy the rest of your day,Continue reading “Waiting Out The Storm”

Sunday Hike Adventure

The plan was to hike along the beach from Red Rocks to Refugee Cove, depending on the cooperation of the tide. Well, let’s just say “The Mistress of the Bay”, as my friend calls the Bay of Fundy tide, was not in the mood for a waltz or Foxtrott today. We made good time toContinue reading “Sunday Hike Adventure”

Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM

The Wednesday afternoon Parrsboro hiking group was small today. We set out in conditions fluctuating between rain and snow. The weather did not know which way to swing which presented us with sticky snow conditions on the trail. It was quite different from the winter wonderland we experienced last Friday. The ice was rapidly meltingContinue reading “Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM”

Snow Day Impressions…

More snow means a slow day at home and better conditions for a snowshoe excursion on Wednesday… I missed capturing the bald eagle circling overhead but one of the resident the crows posed for a quick photoshoot today. Hope your Monday was productive!

Snowshoe Excursion to the Parrsboro Dam

We woke up to a nice amount of snow that accumulated over night. My Garden Buddha was wearing a tall hat this morning, an excellent indication that it was time for the long-awaited snowshoe to the old dam! The distance from where we parked is not far. We broke the trail but it isn’t anContinue reading “Snowshoe Excursion to the Parrsboro Dam”

Driving down an unknown road…

… and arriving at a fabulous hidden beach complete with…ice cakes! They were spectacular! Hope your day was filled with great surprises, Anna
