Inner Harbour Exploration

Yesterday was another sunny day and with half an hour to spare between commitments I went out for a quick walk. Parrsboro has a rich shipbuilding and seafaring history. The harbour is gone and much has changed but remnants of the old docks provide great opportunities to explore. The anchor holds much symbolism on multipleContinue reading “Inner Harbour Exploration”

Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season

It’s Maple Sugar Season! And there is no need to head out to a remote sugar bush… trees have been tapped all over town. These are images of what I came across yesterday during my afternoon walk. My timing was great as the sun was casting long, dramatic shadows. The sap has been running sinceContinue reading “Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season”

Anticipation…

The rainy day yesterday led to a light dusting of snow overnight. While scrolling through images I was drawn to the one featured today. It was created on a warm November day last year. For me it holds the promise of warmer days, calmer days and days that bring peace, better health for all andContinue reading “Anticipation…”

Rays of Hope

I captured this image about ten weeks ago. It was late 2021, a moody day with constant light changes presented me with this mesmerizing vista. I found myself behind seaweed covered boulders just in time for the sun to push through the clouds to illuminate the waters of the Minas Basin May this day beContinue reading “Rays of Hope”

Gilbert Hill Vista

One of the best places in the Parrsboro area to watch the sunset would be from Gilbert Hill. With Cape Split in the distance, Partridge Island illuminated by the setting sun this view takes my breath away every time. The day I witnessed the setting of the sun the full reward came after the goldenContinue reading “Gilbert Hill Vista”

Into the Distance

It’s Sunday and we have been blessed by another “snow into rain” event. It is the kind of day that I love to browse through my recent photographs to select those that have touched me the most. The natural window featured today is one of those special captures that call for a pause and completeContinue reading “Into the Distance”

No matter how chilly it is…

…an afternoon walk at First Beach is invigorating and lifts the spirit. After the walk we took a drive out toward Black Rock where Cape Split was beckoning across the bay. My friend Laura had some wisdom to share “a storm is coming when the sun drinks from the ocean…” Happy Friday, everyone! Anna

Sunshine…

…always casts a bit of magic on the ice shards moving around the Parrsboro Aboiteau. On Tuesday I felt the promise of Spring in the air. Yesterday and today we have had a reset to winter… with snow and cooler temperatures. I will keep my hopes up that the sun returns before too long. ThoseContinue reading “Sunshine…”

Catching the Sunrise

I always feel encouraged and uplifted when the sunrise is without clouds. This view from our living room window never gets old. In an uncertain world a sunrise like this provides us with hope for health and peace, love, adventure and creativity. Best wishes, Anna

Diligent River Beach

Last Thursday gifted us with sun and blue sky, the perfect conditions to lure me outside. I was thankful for my -40C rated winter coat as the breeze was very chilly. Ever the optimist, when setting out for this beach excursion, I was hoping for the wind to die down as we made our wayContinue reading “Diligent River Beach”

Soley’s Cove Sea Stack in the Mist

Remember my post from the fog-shrouded Parrsboro Lighthouse? On the way home from Truro we took Soley Cove Road at the foot of Economy Mountain. My friends who travelled with me had not been here before but were very happy I shared this little side-excursion and vista with them. Enjoy the mysterious images. Happy Friday,Continue reading “Soley’s Cove Sea Stack in the Mist”

Magical Fog

Following a night of heavy rain I made my way to Truro yesterday. On the way home fog was rolling off the Bay of Fundy toward the Cobequid Highlands and by the time I arrived back in Parrsboro the fog horn was calling… a quick drive to the pier provided a few serene moments afterContinue reading “Magical Fog”
