A Contemplative Moment…

…while crossing the bridge over the Parrsboro Aboiteau. While I enjoy this view daily, this afternoon reminded me of how much interest and beauty is all around. I zoomed in on special spots to capture ripples on the surface, the edge of the shore and rocks. I love these Zen moments… especially when I didn’tContinue reading “A Contemplative Moment…”

And just like that there is snow!

Yesterday’s wind was fierce and when we opened our eyes this morning there was snow! The sun is well above 0C now and the white stuff has nearly melted. I love these brief seasonal foreshadowing events. This snow cover won’t last long but it reminds us of what is to come. Happy Saturday! Best wishes,Continue reading “And just like that there is snow!”

A Windy but Productive Day

We woke up to -2 C this morning… and a stiff wind was blowing. But nothing deters us when we have committed to a beach clean up. Our friend Heather had organized this event and as good friends we didn’t want to leave her hanging. We braved the cold (at least -10 C with theContinue reading “A Windy but Productive Day”

A Touch of Magic…

…as the village begins to transform. Each day more Christmas decorations are appearing best viewed and appreciated after dark! These images were captured on our way home from choir tonight. All we need is snow!😜 The Christmas spirit is beginning to stir especially after two hours of Carol rehearsal for the upcoming concert. Good night,Continue reading “A Touch of Magic…”

Environmental Textures

The day started out windy but with the promise of sunshine. By early afternoon we actually had some large snowflakes flying past the windows but the moisture soon turned to rain. Instead of exploring nature at one of the beaches I perused my vast image library and got “stuck” on these eye catching geological textures.Continue reading “Environmental Textures”

There is a Chill in the Air

Daylight is moving toward sunset… I can hardly believe how early the sun disappears these days! By 4:30 pm it gets dark. I just returned from an afternoon at the Fibre Guild where I fulfilled my obligation of sharing my knowledge of sewing machine maintenance… so different from hiking the beaches😜 but a vital partContinue reading “There is a Chill in the Air”

Best laid plans…

My friend and I had plans to participate in and support the first ever NSHike event in River Hebert this afternoon. On the way there I checked for the address and saw a posting that it had been cancelled for today. Well, we were already half way there so we continued to Amherst instead whereContinue reading “Best laid plans…”

The “Guzzle”

Not far from Evangeline Beach in Grand Pre and a short drive along dyke land is “The Guzzle”, an inter-tidal area of significance and ever-changing. We visited here the first time four years ago and since then some things have changed. The interpretive signs are a great addition to this destination viewpoint. Speaking of theContinue reading “The “Guzzle””

Lunar Eclipse

The Blood Moon Eclipse was well under way by the time we arrived at Partridge Island Beach this morning… Getting out of the car was a challenge. The wind was howling as you can hear on the video. We stayed until the moon set behind the cliffs and never saw it emerging after it wasContinue reading “Lunar Eclipse”

Evangeline Beach, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia

We stopped and camped near this amazing beach a little over four years ago. Yesterday we returned on our way to Wolfville and I realized that my love for the Bay of Fundy began here… The view of Cape Blomidon is a mirror image to what the view is from Ottawa House Beach. I wasContinue reading “Evangeline Beach, Grand Pre, Nova Scotia”

Inspirational Reading

I could not pass by the bookshelf at Masstown Market without picking up this little treasure trove of inspiring passages earlier today! I have to share the title and publication info between devouring Laurie Lacey’s relatable writings. Definitely worthwhile! Happy Friday, my friends. Best wishes, Anna.
