A Perfect Day…

…for a quick hike to Clarke Head before the tide rolls in! Yesterday’s sunshine was very inviting. In fact, I decided first thing in the morning that Clarke Head was calling! As always, there was a lot to take in and explore. This stretch along the Parrsboro Shore in the Minas Basin is always hardContinue reading “A Perfect Day…”

Golden Light

It was a beautiful day yesterday, Easter Monday. We had appointments in Amherst all day and I missed my opportunity for a longer hike. Instead I carved out time for a sunset walk. I am always in awe of Golden Hour, that time before the sun slips beyond the horizon. The light seems to paintContinue reading “Golden Light”

Grey Saturday Impressions

Partridge Island Beach was a busy place this afternoon… grey sky and strong winds cut our walk short. Despite the gloomy mood it was good to get out. Hope your Saturday is sunny, Anna

The Crocus Report

Yesterday’s morning walk yielded a welcome surprise: one of my favourite harbingers of spring, a grouping of crocus! What a difference a day makes: within 24 hours more crocus emerged and are beginning to unfold. Happy Friday, all! Best wishes, Anna

A sure sign of spring…

…while growing up in Bavaria was when a few cut branches of forsythia started to bloom indoors just before Easter. I brought home such a branch about a week ago and was delighted today to find the tiny buds transformed with small yellow flowers bursting forth. Coupled with the bright sunshine these small blooms enhanceContinue reading “A sure sign of spring…”

Sunday Outing…

By now you all know this unique landmark, the arch at Clarke Head. Nothing gives me greater joy than sharing our amazing beaches and geological formations with newcomers to the area! Last Sunday turned out to be a sunny day, ideal to walk to Clarke Head and back before the tide cut us off. MyContinue reading “Sunday Outing…”

When the Fog Rolls in…

While walking to the beach yesterday I noticed the fog rolling in. With the mournful song of the fog horn accompanying the mist I could hardly wait to get to the pier. What awaited me was a real treat for the senses. The fog seems to muffle the sounds, everything appears more quiet, almost likeContinue reading “When the Fog Rolls in…”

Twelve Days Later Than Planned…

…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…”

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

High above Wasson’s Bluff

Saturday was a gorgeous spring day. We visited friends who overlook Two Islands. The views are always a treat. Cape Blomidon in the distance… It was great to connect with friends after another long winter mostly socially distancing. …and some lovely garden finds. Happy Monday, my friends!

First Beach Walk

The afternoon brought sunshine after the overnight rain. I made it to the beach for my first real post-surgery walk. Slowly gaining energy and strength. Grateful for our amazing beaches. Hope your Sunday was filled with sunshine! Best wishes, Anna
