My goal for tomorrow: Clarke Head. Working on getting my lung capacity back to where it was before I got sick mid-November. The cough is persistent and do very tiring! The tide for tomorrow is perfect for a mid-day hike on the beach.

Chasing Last Light…
High tide was relatively late in the day and I thought I had waited long enough to get a last minute beach excursion in. I decided on using the stairs to the Old Man sea stack but when I stepped onto the rocky beach I realized that I would have to scramble over the bouldersContinue reading “Chasing Last Light…”
November Reflections…
Zen aesthetic inspired contemplative imagery… a grey day in a monochrome environment.

Not just any beach…
…my favourite beach close to home!
Two Islands
Always a fabulous experience: Eagle and Gull Islands near Parrsboro.
The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Hike Challenge Badge…
…just claimed top position on the sleeve of my fleece hiking jacket! It arrived last week. Despite my excitement I could not muster the energy to sew the badge into place! I caught a nasty bug that had me down for the last five days. I am on the mend though: sewing on the badgeContinue reading “The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Hike Challenge Badge…”

Did you know? Witches butter is an edible wild fungi. Nutritionally, it is made up of polysaccarides (carbohydrates) and is being studied for it’s immune boosting properties. If you get stuck out in the forest it’s one of the few edible mushrooms that can be eaten raw. Good to know!
