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!
I just knew it…
…when I roamed the beach last week with the winter storm in the forecast… I deliberately “collected” these treasures along the way! Enjoy!
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!
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”
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”
Hike Nova Scotia Guided Winter Hikes – -#1 Hike in the Geopark
Thanks to Andrea and John for joining today’s hike to Wards Falls. It was the perfect day for exploring the trail, jump over a few fallen trees, carefully cross an icy creek, scramble up a steep cliff incline to take in the partially frozen falls!
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…”

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!
I Get Excited…
…when I find out a friend who has lived in Parrsboro longer than we have and they have never been to a popular look-off. My friend Robyn and I decided to get out before the weather changed. Exploring Partridge Island was the goal. Robyn had never navigated the trail up or down. I am confidentContinue reading “I Get Excited…”
