Landscape Flashback

I could not resist sharing this photo memory from two years ago! Tuesday (Feb. 13th) I ventured to Clarke Head with the film crew. I blogged about it Wednesday (scroll back two days on this blog to refresh your memory). The video I am sharing has images from two years ago today… Happy weekend, everyone!

Sharing the beautiful place we call home…

Nearly three months ago to the day I received an email from Alex Mitchell, director and producer of onlyissueco.com. His email stated “We’ve been in talks with the folks at Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, M5 Communications, and Tourism NS about developing a mini-doc highlighting the Fundy Cliffs region and the people that make it great”.Continue reading “Sharing the beautiful place we call home…”

The Five Islands Estuary Loop snowshoe outing on February 18th is also part of the Parrsboro Shore Winter Carnival. PleaseContinue reading “Upcoming Snowshoe Events”

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!

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”

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: 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.

New Trail Scouting Excursion

After yesterday’s storm it was time to get outside. I was also curious about the snow. As you can see in the images, there isn’t much white stuff around here. Back to scouting trails in general: When I activated my satellite communication device at the beginning of the month I received a six month freeContinue reading “New Trail Scouting Excursion”
