Random Impressions…

My days are filled with amazing sights. Sometimes my attention span feels challenged with so many note-worthy impressions. For today I just want to share some random images. Hope you enjoy the offering, Anna Please click on individual images to fully appreciate the subject matter.

Charting New Territory

I am always up for an adventure and exploring areas I have not visited before. I was invited to join friends and their German visitors to explore the other side of Partridge Island. This has been on my bucket list ever since I enjoyed the view from the look off from the top. As withContinue reading “Charting New Territory”

Ocean Floor Impression…

The term “ocean floor” regularly draws attention. It is my favourite place to explore once the tide moves out. The mighty Bay of Fundy waters move “treasures” about, deposit sea glass and rocks while continually eroding geological formations. Enjoy today’s offering! Best wishes for a fabulous day, Anna

Exploring the Triassic- Jurassic Era: A Return to Five Islands Provincial Park

It is no secret that the Bay of Fundy holds a great many treasures and ancient information. Five Islands Provincial Park provides us with a “measure in time” where we can examine a fault line that intersects the Jurassic and the Triassic time periods reaching back 200 million years. Guiding a group of friends fromContinue reading “Exploring the Triassic- Jurassic Era: A Return to Five Islands Provincial Park”

When the rainy day turns…

The morning walk definitely called for raincoats and despite the jewel-like raindrops on leaves and flowers it was a very short excursion through the neighbourhood. Eventually the clouds cleared and Ottawa House beach beckoned. I was pleased to see three Plein Air participants capturing the impressive vistas. Parrsboro Creative is currently hosting the International PleinContinue reading “When the rainy day turns…”

The First Day of Summer

…and the forest was calling! I follow a number of mushroom foraging groups on Facebook and saw images of early chanterelle discoveries last weekend. What better day to head out and check my favourite harvesting spots? It was a cool morning and I didn’t really get my hopes up too high. I think we needContinue reading “The First Day of Summer”

Evening Light

After the weekly free concert at the Parrsboro Bandstand last night I took the long way home. I am glad I did: the hillside covered in lupins was well worth admiring. Upon zooming in I realized the colourful iridescent prisms covering the stems were… aphids! Nature is multi-layered indeed. The light was quickly changing alongContinue reading “Evening Light”

The Ever-changing Sky…

Yesterday was one of those days: The sky kept changing constantly. It made me realize once again how cloudy and clear skies can set the mood for how an image is perceived by the onlooker. Above are a few captures from yesterday. Contrasting these first gallery images with the second set you can really seeContinue reading “The Ever-changing Sky…”

A Misty Saturday

We are on our second day of on-again-off-again rain. I embrace these wet days as the landscape reveals vistas and textures often missed in bright sunlight. During my morning walk the bridge over the Aboiteau caught my attention. Rarely is the water this still and reflective. With the misty sky everything moves into focus andContinue reading “A Misty Saturday”

Dulsing Time is Here!

The first dulse harvest of the year is happening! Last year I was so new to this practice that I missed a few points but on the fourth try I felt comfortable…. It’s a busy time and our friend Patrick always invited a big group along. So I decided to head out an hour earlyContinue reading “Dulsing Time is Here!”

Wild Roses in the Bay of Fundy

Each June the wild roses burst open and invade gardens, road ways and beaches with their bright colour and intoxicating scent! This rose bush is just a few steps from our home, I must return to the Phinney Green where the wild roses are mesmerizing! All the best for a fabulous Wednesday! Anna

Lupin and Iris Patches by the Beach!

When a friend texted last night to invite me to walk with her I was able to show her some places about town she had not discovered yet! It’s always such a pleasure to witness newcomers’ delight in new scenery… I was excited about the change along First Beach. A week ago dandelions lined theContinue reading “Lupin and Iris Patches by the Beach!”

Sunset at Partridge Island Beach…

The light turns magical just before the sun slips below the horizon… a late day walk on the beach between Ottawa House and Partridge Island never disappoints. And look at those driftwood textures… Wishing you all a fabulous start to the weekend, Anna

Did you know?

June 8th is World Clean Oceans Day? We did our bit at West Advocate (Driftwood Beach). We joined a group of like-minded people to cast our eyes to the pebble beach and gather trash. It’s always enlightening what one finds! Here is Colin and my tally sheet… this is from two set of eyes alongContinue reading “Did you know?”
