…but I finally made it to my monthly destination, Clarke Head. It was a grey day, with rain in the forecast. A little rain was not going to deter my friend and I when we set out shortly after the tide turned yesterday afternoon. The walk was wonderful and just what I yearned for. ThisContinue reading “Twelve Days Later Than Planned…”

Sunset Beach Walk at Diligent River Beach
Oh how wonderful it felt to get to the beach at sunset last night! We brought along the pups and they had a grand time marking spots, sniffing out treasures and jumping over obstacles. The sunset brought rich golds and oranges with the blue sky reflecting off the calm waters in the channel. There isContinue reading “Sunset Beach Walk at Diligent River Beach”
Blue Morning
The light is mysterious this morning. What is most welcome is the lack of snow today. Perfect conditions for the weekly walk I am about to lead under the auspices of NSWalks. Enjoy your day, wherever you may live! Best wishes, Anna
Peggy’s Cove Impression
On a cloudy day Climbing rocks at Peggy’s Cove – Huge granite boulders.
A Short Excursion to Peggy’s Cove
Perhaps it’s not what the doctor ordered but it certainly was a nice change of scenery. With Colin’s long-awaited medical appointment in Halifax at the IWK we booked two nights at our favourite pet-friendly Best Western at Chocolate Lake from where the drive to Peggy’s Cove was just a short jaunt. The weather was great,Continue reading “A Short Excursion to Peggy’s Cove”
The Old Stump
Deep in the forest The old stump still holds treasures – Wonderful mushrooms!
Reflections
With the spring run off Red puddles of reflection – Bay of Fundy sight…
Anticipation…
The rainy day yesterday led to a light dusting of snow overnight. While scrolling through images I was drawn to the one featured today. It was created on a warm November day last year. For me it holds the promise of warmer days, calmer days and days that bring peace, better health for all andContinue reading “Anticipation…”
Rays of Hope
I captured this image about ten weeks ago. It was late 2021, a moody day with constant light changes presented me with this mesmerizing vista. I found myself behind seaweed covered boulders just in time for the sun to push through the clouds to illuminate the waters of the Minas Basin May this day beContinue reading “Rays of Hope”
Light and Shadow
When light and shadow Create shapes and lines like this – Mysteries emerge.
Raindrops…
Big raindrops hanging More moisture is sure to come – The old wife’s tale goes!
Gilbert Hill Vista
One of the best places in the Parrsboro area to watch the sunset would be from Gilbert Hill. With Cape Split in the distance, Partridge Island illuminated by the setting sun this view takes my breath away every time. The day I witnessed the setting of the sun the full reward came after the goldenContinue reading “Gilbert Hill Vista”
Into the Distance
It’s Sunday and we have been blessed by another “snow into rain” event. It is the kind of day that I love to browse through my recent photographs to select those that have touched me the most. The natural window featured today is one of those special captures that call for a pause and completeContinue reading “Into the Distance”
Last Thursday
These geese floating past With snow sticking to their backs – Thursday afternoon.
Sunshine…
…always casts a bit of magic on the ice shards moving around the Parrsboro Aboiteau. On Tuesday I felt the promise of Spring in the air. Yesterday and today we have had a reset to winter… with snow and cooler temperatures. I will keep my hopes up that the sun returns before too long. ThoseContinue reading “Sunshine…”
Catching the Sunrise
I always feel encouraged and uplifted when the sunrise is without clouds. This view from our living room window never gets old. In an uncertain world a sunrise like this provides us with hope for health and peace, love, adventure and creativity. Best wishes, Anna
Diligent River Beach
Last Thursday gifted us with sun and blue sky, the perfect conditions to lure me outside. I was thankful for my -40C rated winter coat as the breeze was very chilly. Ever the optimist, when setting out for this beach excursion, I was hoping for the wind to die down as we made our wayContinue reading “Diligent River Beach”
Suspended from the Cliffs
Dripping icicles Melting onto icy rocks – The sun shines brightly!
Geological Formation or Natural Ice Sculpture?
At the base of the cliff I came across this fascinating sculpture last week. It reminded me of a pre-historic creature and as I approached I expected it to grow wings to take flight at any moment. It took getting up close and personal with it to realize that ice and pink Bay of FundyContinue reading “Geological Formation or Natural Ice Sculpture?”
End of Day
Last light in the Bay Causes shadows to be cast – Long and very dark.
