My Hampton Cruiser…

Yeah, my friend who is handy in tuning bikes dropped off my reconditioned Hampton Cruiser this morning. Two broken spokes, aligning the back wheel, polishing the rusty bell to give an old-fashioned, less jarring “ding-dong” sound was all that was really needed to get it road-worthy. My first test ride took me to the groceryContinue reading “My Hampton Cruiser…”

The Dutchman Dairy Exotic Animal Farm in Economy, NS

One destination left to fully explore in our area has been the Dutchman Dairy Animal Enclosure. I snowshoed through parts of it last March and knew then that I would bring the grandchildren when they come for a visit. We made it there last Wednesday. Admission per person is $4.25+tax. Children receive two small bagsContinue reading “The Dutchman Dairy Exotic Animal Farm in Economy, NS”

When the Fog Lifted…

After a day of regrouping and dealing with a quiet house I made time for a Beachwalk. First and Second Beaches were shrouded in most, the fog horn sending its piercing sound across the water. As we rounded the point the fog had lifted and revealed some stunning colours. It was time to fully exhaleContinue reading “When the Fog Lifted…”

Soley Cove Vistas and Impressions

Soley Cove in my books has a special notation. I call it “The Magic Beach”! Today’s photo essay might just bring some magic to your day. Enjoy, Anna

UNESCO World Heritage Site: Joggings Fossil Cliffs

I finally made it to the Joggings Fossil Cliffs Interpretive Centre. In the past we hardly came across a soul. Yesterday the parking lot was filled with a large tour bus and cars from across Canada and Eastern US. It is good to see that Nova Scotia’s primary industry, tourism, is rebounding! With family visitingContinue reading “UNESCO World Heritage Site: Joggings Fossil Cliffs”

Just A Girl Exploring the Ocean Floor…

The best place to see out a hot day is the beach as the tide tools in! We looked for treasures along the shore, gathered some to create instant art works, pulling out this, inserting that. It was labour the cooling breeze and enjoying that moment. Wishing you all a blissful Monday. Cheers, Anna

Colour everywhere!

Colourful rocky beaches are what I have come to expect along the Fundy Shore. No matter how often I return to the same beach new discoveries are never far off. This heart was waiting for me this morning! Happy Saturday! Best wishes, Anna

It’s Summer… It’s Lake Time!

Leake Lake is a hidden gem located just outside the Parrsboro town limits close to the Sunshine Inn Cottages. It’s a recent addition on the Fundy GeoPark destination map, a place I had not previously explored. With family visiting it was the perfect place to check out and cool down in during a hot afternoon!Continue reading “It’s Summer… It’s Lake Time!”

July Outing to Clarke Head

It has been a glorious morning already. I just returned from a quick hike to Clarke Head, my favourite place close to Parrsboro. After all the rain yesterday todays sunshine provides a welcome change. It is summer after all! Not a cloud in the sky, waves crashing at the shore and not a soul inContinue reading “July Outing to Clarke Head”

Evening Walk as the Fog Rolls in…

There is something contemplative about walking in the mist. Last night it became apparent that the weather was about to change. With the change of the tide mist began to rise off the Bay of Fundy waters in the Minas Basin. Cape Blomidon was quickly shrouded in fog, Cape Split was already invisible as wasContinue reading “Evening Walk as the Fog Rolls in…”

Just had to do it again!

…walking around Two Islands, that is! A small group got together this morning and crossed over to the Big Island. This time we walked counter-clockwise. I tried to weigh one route against the other and they measure up equally. I was glad I had made the treck just a couple of days ago as IContinue reading “Just had to do it again!”

Return to Soley’s Cove as the Tide Rolls in

My friend and I were looking for a less populated beach to explore this morning. We found just what we were looking for at Soley’s Cove in Lower Economy. We removed our shoes and walked through the fine red sand for a bonus pedicure… …uttering with gratitude in our voices “We live here!” Enjoy theContinue reading “Return to Soley’s Cove as the Tide Rolls in”

Circumnavigating Two Islands

Today has been momentous: I joined a hiking friend in a walk around the Two Islands and it was amazing. I have always been fascinated by these basalt giants but after actually crossing the knee-high water at low tide toward Big Brother I have a whole new appreciation for these geological formations. The rocky beachContinue reading “Circumnavigating Two Islands”

This Rock Hound is Getting Serious!!

It was only a matter of time until I needed to learn more about the rocks and minerals lining the Bay of Fundy shore. The Rocks & Gems publication from the Smithsonian Institute is packed with geological info from the creation of the earth’s crust to rocks, minerals and fossils around the world. It isContinue reading “This Rock Hound is Getting Serious!!”
