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”
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!
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!
Red Sky in the Morning…
…sailor take warning!
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…
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”
Important Lessons…
…when planning events: Always scout your venues! That is exactly how I spent my afternoon. The upcoming “Three Waterfalls Hike” for Friday is in jeopardy due to several factors. When I planned the event in November I was certain we would have enough snow and cold temperatures to be able to cross creek without peril.Continue reading “Important Lessons…”
Revisiting First and Second Beaches
The weather cooperated and the wind wasn’t too strong to walk these beaches close to home. 6 km on a Sunday afternoon!
Woodland Frozen Puddle Study
…an unexpected discovery of patters and texture.
It’s The Little Things…
…we delight in during a grocery run. The light near Five Islands was magical and drew us is! Every second the light changed! So grateful for living in paradise! Happy Weekend to all!
First Winter Hike Recap in Pictures
I started offering free hikes to Parrsboro Shore community members from January through March 2023. Building on last year’s popularity I am organizing more hikes from January through March 2024. We kicked the season off today by circling the Five Islands Estuary Trail Loop. Six humans and one canine enjoyed nature and each other’s company.Continue reading “First Winter Hike Recap in Pictures”
Happy New Year, one and all!!
We woke up to the best news from Germany! Meet Louis, our grand-nephew, and our very own New Year’s baby in the family. He ignored all the due-date estimations and followed through on my prediction of arriving on January 1st.🎉🎉🎉 I started the year out fulfilling a promise to myself: my annual pilgrimage to ClarkeContinue reading “Happy New Year, one and all!!”
As 2023 Comes to a Close…
…the beach called for one last walk. I love New Year’s Eve in Nova Scotia. This is our fourth New Year’s Eve in Parrsboro and I am so grateful for the opportunity to visit one of many beaches on the last day of the year to let go of those things that might hold meContinue reading “As 2023 Comes to a Close…”
Just a little bit of snow…
…gone by noon!
It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!
After so much time in the kitchen and entertaining friends for the holidays I made sure to keep Boxing Day free! My invitation to like-minded friends was well-received: I had a full vehicle of people who were yearning to breathe in some fresh air, tromp through the woods and step onto a beach that hasContinue reading “It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!”
Beach Treasures
And watching the wind create amazing patterns… Happy Friday, friends!
Winter Solstice Blessings
Yesterday’s glorious sunset promised a beautiful day ahead. Well, Mother Nature had a different idea. We woke up to strong winds and grey sky. Friends who had expressed interest in participating in the hike decided against battling the elements. The fact that there is no such thing as bad weather when one has proper clothingContinue reading “Winter Solstice Blessings”
