Rainy Day Beach Adventure

We didn’t let a little rain get us down or abandon a mid-day low tide hike to Clarke Head. Days like these ensure deserted beaches… We hiked in steady drizzle but with layers of wool and a rain shell we stayed warm and toasty. Another amazing hike to my favourite spot in Parrsboro! Happy Sunday,Continue reading “Rainy Day Beach Adventure”

Bush Whacking Adventure Leads Us Up the Creek

The plan to visit Hidden Falls was quickly abandoned when this happened: When Heather broke through the ice and diverted the flow of water we quickly changed plans and set out for another option. The creek without a name near Moose River was calling us. We quickly left the skidoo path and made our wayContinue reading “Bush Whacking Adventure Leads Us Up the Creek”

To Jeffers Falls and Beyond

Waking up to sunshine and blue sky was just what we hoped for. My friend and I had planned this particular excursion for a while and after rain, snow and flash freeze yesterday the conditions were perfect. Our hike led past Jeffers Falls where we discovered beautiful ice flows with edges smoothed by the waterContinue reading “To Jeffers Falls and Beyond”

Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light

On a whim my friend and I headed out to Soley Cove. Anne had never been, so I was keen on showing her this stretch of the Jurassic Coast line in the Upper Bay of Fundy. The sky was overcast and the diffused sunlight showcased the red sandstone cliffs to their best advantage. With longContinue reading “Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light”

Heritage/Family Day Friendship Hike

Watch out: if you are a newcomer to our shore I might nab you and drag you to one of my favourite places… Clarke Head! Despite the early morning snow fall and strong wind that started up around the time we set out for the beach hike, we forged ahead. Following the tide out weContinue reading “Heritage/Family Day Friendship Hike”

Landscape Flashback

I could not resist sharing this photo memory from two years ago! Tuesday (Feb. 13th) I ventured to Clarke Head with the film crew. I blogged about it Wednesday (scroll back two days on this blog to refresh your memory). The video I am sharing has images from two years ago today… Happy weekend, everyone!

Sharing the beautiful place we call home…

Nearly three months ago to the day I received an email from Alex Mitchell, director and producer of onlyissueco.com. His email stated “We’ve been in talks with the folks at Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, M5 Communications, and Tourism NS about developing a mini-doc highlighting the Fundy Cliffs region and the people that make it great”.Continue reading “Sharing the beautiful place we call home…”

Lichen

We are blessed with an abundance of Old Man’s Beard” along the coastline. I could not resist capturing some up close and personal images. Hope you enjoy them!

Mid-winter Tour Day!

This morning promised to be a great day! No matter how long we live here the early morning views make for many a “skip a heartbeat” moments. I needed that after the busy two days that are behind me. On Wednesday morning I woke up to an inquiry for a snowshoe tour from David inContinue reading “Mid-winter Tour Day!”

Another busy Wednesday…

The regular walk in the morning… …followed by a snowshoe excursion in the afternoon. These are the things worth sharing. Just finished working on a proposal for five hours. Such tedious work without physical activity… and just like that another day is over! Good night, world!

Storm Stayed

The weather forecast was very accurate this weekend: snow and wind for two full days made for time indoors. These are the kind of days that call for indoor projects like paint touch ups, making a new set of quilted pot holder mitts and finishing a section on my lace knitting project. Can’t wait toContinue reading “Storm Stayed”

And so it begins…

…my first tour registration for June 27th arrived via email on this snowy day today! Thanks @KeepYourDayDream for the opportunity to show you around the Parrsboro Shore area in June 2023.

Chasing the Light…

…all the way to the Redhead Look off. A perfect way to spend the afternoon on Groundhog Day! Wishing you all a wonderful weekend, Anna

Three Waterfalls Hike Event

It was a fabulous day to bring together a group of like-minded people! Together we explored Jeffers Falls, the Old Parrsboro Dam site and Hidden Falls. The sun pushed through the clouds and illuminated some of the most scenic stretches along the trails. Thanks to everyone who joined in.

Winter is here!

And I am doing the happy dance! Three Waterfalls Snowshoe Excursion is confirmed for tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures of our first snowshoe session of the year!

Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success

I spent a good part of today, Sunday, scouting. Wednesday, January 31st will be the second free Guided Hike Nova Scotia Winterhike in the Geopark. The Three Waterfalls event was originally advertised for January 12th but had to be changed due to poor trail conditions. I am pleased to announce: We are heading to ThreeContinue reading “Three Waterfalls Hike Scouting Mission Success”

Snow-covered Trails through the Woods and to the Beach

Two weeks ago I explored this trail when it looked completely different. After some decent snow accumulation I set out again today and discovered a winter wonderland. The bonus was the receding tide which revealed a stunning shale beach. Enjoy the images, happy Saturday!
