The weather was much better today when I left the house at 6:15 a.m. to take full advantage of another ocean floor walk at Soley’s Cove. The sky was constantly changing despite a lack of wind. It was such a wonderful walk with a friend. Conversation flowed easily as we walked across the firm sandContinue reading “Low Tide Soley’s Cove Excursion, Day 2”

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”
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”
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
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
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…”
Observing Nature
Summer advances With colour, beauty and light – Nature delights us!
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”
