Inner Harbour Exploration

Yesterday was another sunny day and with half an hour to spare between commitments I went out for a quick walk. Parrsboro has a rich shipbuilding and seafaring history. The harbour is gone and much has changed but remnants of the old docks provide great opportunities to explore. The anchor holds much symbolism on multipleContinue reading “Inner Harbour Exploration”

Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season

It’s Maple Sugar Season! And there is no need to head out to a remote sugar bush… trees have been tapped all over town. These are images of what I came across yesterday during my afternoon walk. My timing was great as the sun was casting long, dramatic shadows. The sap has been running sinceContinue reading “Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season”

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”

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”

No matter how chilly it is…

…an afternoon walk at First Beach is invigorating and lifts the spirit. After the walk we took a drive out toward Black Rock where Cape Split was beckoning across the bay. My friend Laura had some wisdom to share “a storm is coming when the sun drinks from the ocean…” Happy Friday, everyone! Anna

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…”

And we’re off! Parrsboro’s Walking Group is now active!

After a glorious, sunny day yesterday we witnessed icicles melting from rooftops… …but we woke up to four inches of fluffy snow today. Messages and emails arrived from 7:30 onward to ask if the walk was still taking place. I am not one to shirk commitments and since I had no idea who might justContinue reading “And we’re off! Parrsboro’s Walking Group is now active!”

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

Magical Fog

Following a night of heavy rain I made my way to Truro yesterday. On the way home fog was rolling off the Bay of Fundy toward the Cobequid Highlands and by the time I arrived back in Parrsboro the fog horn was calling… a quick drive to the pier provided a few serene moments afterContinue reading “Magical Fog”

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?”

Other-Wordly Continued…

Thanks for coming back to find out more about my discovery after I moved to the “dark side” of Clarke Head. Another world opened up, one of wonder and awe! I felt drawn to move on and round the next rock formation… Soon I realized that this area connects me directly to Wasson’s Bluff! ThisContinue reading “Other-Wordly Continued…”

Other-Wordly?

Yesterday was a beautiful day, beckoning me to take full advantage of the sunshine before the next weather system brings changes. I snowshoed from the gate of Glooscap Campground all the way down to the beach. I love the spot I featured above: it is always awe-inspiring and Feb. 16th, 2022 did not disappoint: theContinue reading “Other-Wordly?”

Puddle Exploration

On a chilly day long walks are usually not by choice. I made a quick trip to take a letter to the post office yesterday and it was C-O-L-D. And then I stumbled across this puddle. Talk about going down the rabbit hole… till my hands were so cold I could no longer hold onContinue reading “Puddle Exploration”
