One year later: Economy Falls Trail
Economy Falls revisited: tranquility pur and just look at those new stairs leading to the pool! The whole trail is only 2.5 km but allow for elevation changes and note the non-standard stair tread height. This trail is sure to work up a good sweat!
The light!!
Five Island Provincial Park and Lighthouse Park views at high tide. What a gift after sharing the high tide talk with attendees.
MacAlmonds Pond Trail…
While exploring the Mi’kmawey Interpretive Trail last weekend I found out about the MacAlmond Pond Trail from a fellow walker. After a morning of rushing through shops I made the snap decision to check out this new-to-me trail. What I found was a haven of tranquility! The bear stayed hidden😊 and I had a lovelyContinue reading “MacAlmonds Pond Trail…”
Soley Cove in November
A last minute invitation to join a friend and her out-of -town visitor for “a couple of hours” at Soley Cove turned into a fantastic day on my favourite stretch of Minas Basin ocean floor. The morning was grey and misty… but we easily ignored it as soon as we stepped onto the beach. WeContinue reading “Soley Cove in November”
Thanksgiving Photography Retreat…
Sylvie Mazerolle and I connected in late June and the idea of a photography retreat in the area crystallized. I had the distinct pleasure to guide this dynamic group of hardy women with cameras last Saturday! The following images and movie clips tell a better story than words. Enjoy! From Port Greville to Spencer’s Island,Continue reading “Thanksgiving Photography Retreat…”

Five Islands Provincial Park and Soley Cove – in less than 18 hours
Thanks to three interested women and their canine companions the season kick off at Five Islands Provincial Park was a success. We ventured along the beach toward Old Wife Rock, chatted about the fault line where Jurassic meets Triassic era, sandstone cliffs, erosion, columnar basalt and we carefully observed the endangered Mud Piddock ponds. TheContinue reading “Five Islands Provincial Park and Soley Cove – in less than 18 hours”
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.
Patterns Created by Wind and Waves
Anyone who has followed my blog for a while knows how much I love the ever-changing landscape. The tides present new surprises every time the beach emerges. Enjoy the offerings today!
Red Rocks in West Advocate
Enjoy!
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.
Monday Morning at Rocky Lake
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!
