We ventured back to Wards Falls today. Our primary reason was for conditioning, the goal we set was to complete the trail twice with our full packs. The total distance we estimated was somewhere around 14 km. We built in brief rests overlooking the falls each time and had lunch at the car after completingContinue reading “Woodland Discoveries”

When in Truro…
…make time to head over to Victoria Park. The parking lot is accessed via Part Street and there is plenty of space including many shaded spots. My friend Gaby and I had some time to spare and she offered to show me around this popular destination. I had read about the extensive damage left byContinue reading “When in Truro…”
Gentle Beach Hike at Spencer’s Island
With a chance of rain in the forecast we decided to defy the weather man and head to Spencer’s Island as the tide was on the way out. This beach is the most colourful beach in the area. The closer we got to the “point” and the island the more colourful the rocks seemed toContinue reading “Gentle Beach Hike at Spencer’s Island”
Beach Impressions
Up close and personal … no words necessary! Enjoy, Anna
Red Sandstone Allure…
A gray Sunday afternoon… little wind and time to explore! We ventured into uncharted territory, the “other side” of Soley Cove Beach. I will let the ancient Jurassic sandstone formations speak for themselves… Hope your Sunday was restorative. Best wishes for a fabulous week, Anna
Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends
It’s been a fabulous day here! One highlight was our personal “dance” lesson with “The Mistress of the Bay”, the mighty Bay of Fundy Tide. We set out about 45 minutes after low tide and experienced this beach a little different. None of us are slow walkers but we witnessed the water getting close toContinue reading “Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends”
Yesterday…
…Mother Nature sent a message to remind us to stay humble. Snow and freezing rain created fleeting jewels on tree branches and beach treasures. The ice crust and icicles didn’t last long after I captured them in photos. Friday blessings Anna
Thomas Cove Headlands Loop
Let’s continue where we left off yesterday. I reported on the Thomas Cove GeoSite in my previous post. Today i will provide some o sights on the Thomas Cove Headlands Trail Loop. The site map claims this loop to be 4 km in length. Our small group set a moderate pace and spent over twoContinue reading “Thomas Cove Headlands Loop”
Clarke Head Afternoon Hike
It was a quiet, contemplative excursion to Clarke Head this afternoon. We spent time examining rocks, discovering pyrite, admiring more sparkle on the water, walking among seaweed covered rocks and soaking in the spring breeze. Happy Monday! Best wishes for a productive week, Anna
Cape d’Or Never Disappoints!
It was grey, we had some snow but the closer we got to Cape d’Or the more blue sky appeared! We hiked in on the main road (somewhere during the planning stages I misunderstood that we would be exploring the woods…😜). Instead we had an uphill hike both ways… excellent for conditioning for more strenuousContinue reading “Cape d’Or Never Disappoints!”
The Question…
Jurassic sandstone Weathered for millennia – When will it break off?
Parrsboro…
We were fooled into believing that Old Man Winter had finally moved on yesterday! The water in the Aboiteau was so calm, the reflections clear. This was the view during our Wednesday morning walk… …here is a close up of reflections and shoreline. I will spare you an image of the swirling snow flakes fromContinue reading “Parrsboro…”
Blue Sac Road Beach Excursion
About 20 km from Parrsboro toward Five Islands the turnoff onto Blu Sac Road cannot be overlooked. It leads to a fantastic beach offering a panoramic view of the Five Islands, one of the best kept secrets around! I took my Wednesday afternoon hiking group to this beach today. The weather was perfect, the tideContinue reading “Blue Sac Road Beach Excursion”
Spring Time Golden Hours…
…are back! The light changes quickly and adds magic to the landscape and beaches of the Fundy Shore! Happy Monday, Anna
Every Day…
Emerge at low tide These algae covered boulders – Ancient witnesses.
Every Rock Has a Story…
I came across this photo yesterday. It popped up on my FaceBook memories and I realized that I made the image two years ago on my very first Clarke Head hike. I have fond memories of that day, I felt so adventurous to go on my solo excursion. When I stumbled upon this amazing rockContinue reading “Every Rock Has a Story…”
Reflection…
These shallow waters Reflecting the vast landscape – Summer will return!
Diligent River Beach in the Mist
Diligent River Beach makes for a fantastic low tide destination in any weather. After exploring it in sunshine just two days ago I returned with two hiking friends this afternoon. The rain held off till we were almost back at the car. From the warf to the Ramshead River the return distance is roughly 5Continue reading “Diligent River Beach in the Mist”
Waiting Out The Storm
It’s mid-March and we are looking at “sideways snow” outside our windows. Once the wind picked up this afternoon I could no longer ignore the fact that Old Man Winter isn’t quite done with us yet. Perhaps reviewing some of the recent beach ice images will lift everyone’s spirit.😊 Enjoy the rest of your day,Continue reading “Waiting Out The Storm”
Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM
The Wednesday afternoon Parrsboro hiking group was small today. We set out in conditions fluctuating between rain and snow. The weather did not know which way to swing which presented us with sticky snow conditions on the trail. It was quite different from the winter wonderland we experienced last Friday. The ice was rapidly meltingContinue reading “Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM”
