Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail

Familiarization of Cliffs of Fundy Geopark sites is high on my list of priorities. Last Tuesday the opportunity presented itself to visit and explore a destination I had on my bucket list for some time. I took Exit 13 on the Trans-Canada, turned my wheels toward the Debert Industrial Park and headed toward the parkingContinue reading “Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail”

Cape Chignecto Shelf Fungi

While hiking the Cape Chignecto Costal Trail last month I was struck by the variety of shelf fungi adorning the trees. Here is a small selection of various collections along the trail.

Wild Roses…

Among the first green buds bursting open are the wild rose bushes lining the beaches. I am anticipating the blooms permeating the air with their sweet scent in just a few more weeks.

The Pebble Hunter

Pebbles from the sea Deposited by the tides – Colours, stripes and hearts!

Light mist was rising as I made my way to the Halifax Search & Rescue training centre for one more day of learning this morning. When the sun emerged this visual haiku caught my attention. A visual haiku is a capture of two seasons… here we have autumn and spring, soft green tips unfurling andContinue reading “Monday Morning at Rocky Lake”

Chasing Northern Lights

The world has Aurora fever and I slept through it ast night! After a long day of training outdoors culminating in a night maneuver I only have the energy to look up before I slip into my tent. It’s overcast and there is light pollution… wishing everyone a restful night!

Up close and personal, bark layers.

Cape Chignecto Landmark: Storyteller Tree

Between trail marker 27 and 28 km, just before or after the halfway mark, depending if one travels clockwise or counter-clockwise, this ancient, gnarly, attention-demanding sentinel calls the hiker to attention! Many a picture has been captured with this tree… many a story could be told if it could speak!

This was the first joint interpretive walk between theContinue reading “Earth Day 2024”

Forest Bathing – Woodland Impressions

A month ago I participated in the Wilderness First Aid course at the Search and Rescue Centre near Waverly. The Advanced module was rescheduled for today. I decided to make my way there yesterday afternoon to avoid an early morning commute. When I arrived I was told that there would not be a class afterContinue reading “Forest Bathing – Woodland Impressions”

Crocus Time

After the excitement of witnessing the near total eclipse of the sun it’s time to focus on things closer to home. The flowerbeds are getting ready for their annual colour display. First to make an appearance: the humble crocus.
