Small Surprises

While scanning the shoreline during my backyard excursion this tiny area caught my attention. A large ice floe was pushed up against the shore casting a protective shadow over the hoarfrost covered clump of dry grass… a truly contemplative moment. May your Thursday be filled with sunshine. Best wishes, Anna

Ever-changing!

I don’t have to venture far when it comes to beautiful sights that inspire: our backyard provides amazing subject matter for my daily post. After a long day on the road Monday, I didn’t feel like heading to the beach. My heart still got a workout navigating over and through snow drifts as I madeContinue reading “Ever-changing!”

Contrast

Finding interest in a snowy landscape thanks to a branch ripped from the tree during last weekend’s storm is a nice change from the usual beach. The afternoon light was perfect for casting shadows and adding drama to this humble backyard scene… Enjoy your day. Best wishes, Anna

Digging out…

… from the latest snow storm! We are grateful: for heat, electricity, good food and the amazing caring neighbours who lend a hand where needed! Thank you Parrsboro! Happy Sunday. We look forward to sunny weather shortly. Best wishes, Anna

Storm Stayed…

Yes, it’s the weekend and after a reprieve from snow and wind last weekend we make up for it this time.

When a personal request to repost my image on a local community FaceBook bulletin board arrived a little while ago I decided to share theContinue reading “Colour Burst”

No matter what the weather…

Clarke Head on a Sunday morning… moving from light snow to full sunshine along the Fundy Shore!

Destination: Parrsboro Dam

Ten months ago I tried to find the trail to the Parrsboro Dam for the first time. I didn’t find it then but I kept the goal to hike there on my bucket list. Yesterday was the day to visit…

Mood Enhancer…

The plan was for a quick walk to clear the head… it turned into two hours of bliss while exploring the beach and everything on my way there!

The Reprieve…

We are just winding down from one storm and preparing for another to arrive later today… we will be fine thanks to the glorious day we enjoyed yesterday!

A Quiet Sunday…

…and the absence of an internet connection has me posting later than usual today. We are still clearing areas of snow drifts on our property and after a short drive through the community we are feeling rather grateful that we do not have toppled trees across our yard or no heat. We are warm andContinue reading “A Quiet Sunday…”
