Yeah, my friend who is handy in tuning bikes dropped off my reconditioned Hampton Cruiser this morning. Two broken spokes, aligning the back wheel, polishing the rusty bell to give an old-fashioned, less jarring “ding-dong” sound was all that was really needed to get it road-worthy. My first test ride took me to the groceryContinue reading “My Hampton Cruiser…”

The Dutchman Dairy Exotic Animal Farm in Economy, NS
One destination left to fully explore in our area has been the Dutchman Dairy Animal Enclosure. I snowshoed through parts of it last March and knew then that I would bring the grandchildren when they come for a visit. We made it there last Wednesday. Admission per person is $4.25+tax. Children receive two small bagsContinue reading “The Dutchman Dairy Exotic Animal Farm in Economy, NS”
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
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
It’s Summer… It’s Lake Time!
Leake Lake is a hidden gem located just outside the Parrsboro town limits close to the Sunshine Inn Cottages. It’s a recent addition on the Fundy GeoPark destination map, a place I had not previously explored. With family visiting it was the perfect place to check out and cool down in during a hot afternoon!Continue reading “It’s Summer… It’s Lake Time!”
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!
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”
This Rock Hound is Getting Serious!!
It was only a matter of time until I needed to learn more about the rocks and minerals lining the Bay of Fundy shore. The Rocks & Gems publication from the Smithsonian Institute is packed with geological info from the creation of the earth’s crust to rocks, minerals and fossils around the world. It isContinue reading “This Rock Hound is Getting Serious!!”
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”

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”
