It’s mid-March and we are looking at “sideways snow” outside our windows. Once the wind picked up this afternoon I could no longer ignore the fact that Old Man Winter isn’t quite done with us yet. Perhaps reviewing some of the recent beach ice images will lift everyone’s spirit.😊 Enjoy the rest of your day,Continue reading “Waiting Out The Storm”

Diligent River Low Tide Exploration in Sunshine
Diligent River is a great place to explore in any weather and season. Today I arrived precisely at low tide with glorious sunshine overhead and I was able to take advantage of the full expanse of the beach. Even the Ramshead River was so low that if I had worn rubber boots I could haveContinue reading “Diligent River Low Tide Exploration in Sunshine”
Sunday Hike Adventure
The plan was to hike along the beach from Red Rocks to Refugee Cove, depending on the cooperation of the tide. Well, let’s just say “The Mistress of the Bay”, as my friend calls the Bay of Fundy tide, was not in the mood for a waltz or Foxtrott today. We made good time toContinue reading “Sunday Hike Adventure”
Another Backroad Exploration: Little Dyke Road the Glenholme Marsh Road
The sun was out today which made our drive to Truro very pleasant. Once again we decided to find out where some of the less travelled side roads might lead and we were not disappointed. The most pleasant surprise awaited when we turned onto Little Dyke Road. After a short distance through wooded terrain weContinue reading “Another Backroad Exploration: Little Dyke Road the Glenholme Marsh Road”
Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers: Excitement is Building!!
I have been spending a bit too much time in the office lately. Getting ready for tourist season is exciting but looking at so many hike destination images I yearn for some much needed outdoor time. And yet it’s important that all necessary steps are taken to ensure safety measures are in place, insurance policyContinue reading “Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers: Excitement is Building!!”
A taste of my favourite destinations along the Parrsboro Shore

Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM
The Wednesday afternoon Parrsboro hiking group was small today. We set out in conditions fluctuating between rain and snow. The weather did not know which way to swing which presented us with sticky snow conditions on the trail. It was quite different from the winter wonderland we experienced last Friday. The ice was rapidly meltingContinue reading “Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM”
The Lone Goose…
She stood out, one leg tucked under to stay warm, balancing perfectly still on the ice in the Aboiteau. Such a sight to behold!
Destination: Brookville Rock
Take a lazy Sunday filled with sunshine, mix it up with the idea of a beach walk and head out. We landed in Wards Brook and once we carefully navigated around the boulder break water barrier we were rewarded with great beach sounds and vistas. The cliffs along this particular beach differ greatly from theContinue reading “Destination: Brookville Rock”
Snowshoe Excursion to the Parrsboro Dam
We woke up to a nice amount of snow that accumulated over night. My Garden Buddha was wearing a tall hat this morning, an excellent indication that it was time for the long-awaited snowshoe to the old dam! The distance from where we parked is not far. We broke the trail but it isn’t anContinue reading “Snowshoe Excursion to the Parrsboro Dam”
Winter Walk Around the Parrsboro Lighthouse
And here are some details of the ice under foot: Enjoy!
Happy First Anniversary to NSWalks Parrsboro!
Only one year ago I initiated a brand-new programme for our little Nova Scotia town. Parrsboro joined the NSWalks communities. Today we celebrated in style! We kicked off a new early morning walking programme with Chris as the leader in addition to the 10 am programme I lead. The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Office wasContinue reading “Happy First Anniversary to NSWalks Parrsboro!”
Driving down an unknown road…
… and arriving at a fabulous hidden beach complete with…ice cakes! They were spectacular! Hope your day was filled with great surprises, Anna
Morning Photo Excursion at -18 C: Destination Clarke Head
The beach was calling… I decided to chase the tide out early and my camera got a great workout. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I will not bore you with my writing when my pictures are so much more powerful. Our winter has not yielded many ice cakes along the shore thisContinue reading “Morning Photo Excursion at -18 C: Destination Clarke Head”
