At the base of the cliff I came across this fascinating sculpture last week. It reminded me of a pre-historic creature and as I approached I expected it to grow wings to take flight at any moment. It took getting up close and personal with it to realize that ice and pink Bay of FundyContinue reading “Geological Formation or Natural Ice Sculpture?”

End of Day
Last light in the Bay Causes shadows to be cast – Long and very dark.
The Storyteller…
If this tree could talk Its stories would be so rich – Tides changing each day.

The event I was most interested in was the tour jointly organized by the Fundy GeoPark and Fundy Geological Museum. It was advertised as the Highland Tour exploring the area surrounding That Dutchman Cheese Farm in Economy. AllContinue reading “Highland Cattle Snowshoe Excursion…”
Intrigued…
Shelf mushrooms growing From a roughly broken tree – Great discovery!
Other-Wordly Continued…
Thanks for coming back to find out more about my discovery after I moved to the “dark side” of Clarke Head. Another world opened up, one of wonder and awe! I felt drawn to move on and round the next rock formation… Soon I realized that this area connects me directly to Wasson’s Bluff! ThisContinue reading “Other-Wordly Continued…”
Other-Wordly?
Yesterday was a beautiful day, beckoning me to take full advantage of the sunshine before the next weather system brings changes. I snowshoed from the gate of Glooscap Campground all the way down to the beach. I love the spot I featured above: it is always awe-inspiring and Feb. 16th, 2022 did not disappoint: theContinue reading “Other-Wordly?”
Down in the Bay
View from the look-off As the tide recedes below – Nature creates art.
Snowshoe Destination: FoxPoint Beach
Last Friday was another glorious day in the Bay of Fundy. It definitely called for an extended outing. I packed the snowshoes, just in case and was glad to have them handy when the road approach turned out to be too slushy to drive. Snowshoes were the best solution to make headway though the woodsContinue reading “Snowshoe Destination: FoxPoint Beach”
Puddle Exploration
On a chilly day long walks are usually not by choice. I made a quick trip to take a letter to the post office yesterday and it was C-O-L-D. And then I stumbled across this puddle. Talk about going down the rabbit hole… till my hands were so cold I could no longer hold onContinue reading “Puddle Exploration”
Bay of Fundy Rocks…
Shaped smooth by water Continuously moving – For millennia…
Long Shadows
The sun shone brightly Casting long shadows on snow – Perfect winter day!
Disappearing Boulders
Parrsboro’s Second Beach had some impressive sights yesterday afternoon. At first glance these formations looked like sandstone boulders. Walking closer they revealed themselves as ice formations covered in Red Fundy Mud. It was a sight to treasure! To show how massive these icy boulders were I included an image of my friend next to one.Continue reading “Disappearing Boulders”
Fleeting…
I inhaled deeply when I arrived at the beach yesterday: fresh, salty air, a little sunshine overhead and other-worldly ice sculptures only Mother Nature can create greeted me. It felt so good to get out, walk between the large rocks of First Beach toward these pink sand coloured monsters. Click on the third image inContinue reading “Fleeting…”
Yearning for Spring.,,
As I look out the window and observe snow changing to rain and back to snow again all within minutes, my eye catches a flash of green reminding me that the countdown to spring is indeed progressing… 39 days and counting. Happy Wednesday! Stay warm and dry, wherever you are, Anna
Next, please…
Big water drops are forming with the next episode of our wether pattern this year. When we first arrived in Nova Scotia a friend told me that when these drops form and hang from the bare branches of the winter tree, a lot more rain is on the way. The snow is melting, creating hugeContinue reading “Next, please…”

Seeking and Finding Inspiration
When winter days appear too similar, without too many changes and little easing of the cold it’s time to examine the landscape for subtle changes. Inspiration is everywhere: from snow covered backyards polished by rain and wind to shards of ice reaching from their watery depths like alligators. A five minute backyard excursion yields visualContinue reading “Seeking and Finding Inspiration”
Perpetual Question…
Four storms in five weeks With the world ice-encrusted – Will winter end soon?
Morning Glow…
Greetings from an ice covered Nova Scotia! For most of the night we witnessed rain mixed with ice-pellets and this morning cars are covered in shiny icy crusts… the roads are very slippery… businesses are either staying shut or closing early adding an extra day of rest for the weekend. The images I am sharingContinue reading “Morning Glow…”
