Mid-winter Tour Day!
This morning promised to be a great day! No matter how long we live here the early morning views make for many a “skip a heartbeat” moments. I needed that after the busy two days that are behind me. On Wednesday morning I woke up to an inquiry for a snowshoe tour from David inContinue reading “Mid-winter Tour Day!”
Another busy Wednesday…
The regular walk in the morning… …followed by a snowshoe excursion in the afternoon. These are the things worth sharing. Just finished working on a proposal for five hours. Such tedious work without physical activity… and just like that another day is over! Good night, world!
I just knew it…
…when I roamed the beach last week with the winter storm in the forecast… I deliberately “collected” these treasures along the way! Enjoy!
And so it begins…
…my first tour registration for June 27th arrived via email on this snowy day today! Thanks @KeepYourDayDream for the opportunity to show you around the Parrsboro Shore area in June 2023.
Chasing the Light…
…all the way to the Redhead Look off. A perfect way to spend the afternoon on Groundhog Day! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Anna
Celebrating Imbolc: Clarke Head Hike
Imbolc commemorates the return of light. I decided on a solitary hike to one of my favourite destinations, the natural stone arch at Clarke Head. It had been exactly one month since I visited last and the changes along the beach were noticeable. Large rocks had been deposited that were not there before, erosion andContinue reading “Celebrating Imbolc: Clarke Head Hike”
Three Waterfalls Hike Event
It was a fabulous day to bring together a group of like-minded people! Together we explored Jeffers Falls, the Old Parrsboro Dam site and Hidden Falls. The sun pushed through the clouds and illuminated some of the most scenic stretches along the trails. Thanks to everyone who joined in.
Winter is here!
And I am doing the happy dance! Three Waterfalls Snowshoe Excursion is confirmed for tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures of our first snowshoe session of the year!
Ice and Snow
On a snow filled and windy Monday I peruse recent images! Can’t wait to get outside again to enjoy this winter wonderland!
Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success
I spent a good part of today, Sunday, scouting. Wednesday, January 31st will be the second free Guided Hike Nova Scotia Winterhike in the Geopark. The Three Waterfalls event was originally advertised for January 12th but had to be changed due to poor trail conditions. I am pleased to announce: We are heading to ThreeContinue reading “Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success”
Snow-covered Trails through the Woods and to the Beach
Two weeks ago I explored this trail when it looked completely different. After some decent snow accumulation I set out again today and discovered a winter wonderland. The bonus was the receding tide which revealed a stunning shale beach. Enjoy the images, happy Saturday!
Group outing to Phinney Green
What happens when the call for a group hike generates this much interest? It provides me with the confirmation that I am able to fill a need in the Parrsboro area. Each Wednesday hike has seen our group growing larger! What a way to fill Wednesday afternoons! Sharing my passion for the Cliffs of FundyContinue reading “Group outing to Phinney Green”
Hard to believe…
…it’s January. Very little snow, Canada Geese enjoying the sunshine in Parrsboro’s inner harbour and no winter weather in sight…
The Puddle
The frozen puddle Its fractured icy surface – On top of the hill…
Another Sunday, Another New Trail to Discover
There was a chill in the air but I had planned to check out a new trail as a possibility for my Wednesday hikers. My friend and I enjoyed the hike, we even found a way to make the original trail connect to create a loop. The terrain was steep, too steep for the variedContinue reading “Another Sunday, Another New Trail to Discover”
Parrsboro Community Spirit Really Shone!
Meet Earl, the five month old Golden Retriever pup who played escape artist on Thursday afternoon. When his family was unable to locate him they posted a message to the Parrsboro Community FaceBook pages. Soon their entire neighbourhood was out searching in the bitter cold. It was about an hour before sunset when the callContinue reading “Parrsboro Community Spirit Really Shone!”
Tea time anyone?
Surprise reflection Off a kettle in the woods – Such fond memories…
Parrsboro: Wednesday Winter Walks & Hikes
In January 2023 I started to offer free guided hikes following the Wednesday morning walks. There was always at least one interested hiker and we set about exploring together. As 2023 drew to a close I wasn’t sure if offering another three-months of guided hikes would be of interest. I couldn’t have been more wrong!Continue reading “Parrsboro: Wednesday Winter Walks & Hikes”
Blue Sky and Stunning Views…
…and an ice study along the way! My friend and I ventured up nearby Kirkhill today. We met with our goal of scouting a new hike destination. It’s official: This mid-week Winter hike will explore a 3 km loop on top of Kirkhill, a popular destination in the Parrsboro area.
