Another Backroad Exploration: Little Dyke Road the Glenholme Marsh Road
The sun was out today which made our drive to Truro very pleasant. Once again we decided to find out where some of the less travelled side roads might lead and we were not disappointed. The most pleasant surprise awaited when we turned onto Little Dyke Road. After a short distance through wooded terrain weContinue reading “Another Backroad Exploration: Little Dyke Road the Glenholme Marsh Road”
Happy First Anniversary to NSWalks Parrsboro!
Only one year ago I initiated a brand-new programme for our little Nova Scotia town. Parrsboro joined the NSWalks communities. Today we celebrated in style! We kicked off a new early morning walking programme with Chris as the leader in addition to the 10 am programme I lead. The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Office wasContinue reading “Happy First Anniversary to NSWalks Parrsboro!”
The Path Less Travelled
A path less travelled Intersected by shadows – Puppy prints and boots…
Photographer’s Dream Tour: Soley Cove
A low tide hike from Soley Cove to Redhead is memorable and worthwhile in any season. Yesterday was perfect! After the previous night’s dusting of snow we were rewarded with azure sky dotted with puffy clouds… and a stiff breeze! Nothing windproof clothing can’t deal with effectively. The afternoon light on a winter day bringsContinue reading “Photographer’s Dream Tour: Soley Cove”

Surf’s Up!!!
Tide was nearing its high point this afternoon at West Advocate, Nova Scotia! Humbling and invigorating at the same time… Some still images that don’t require any words. Enjoy! Happy Sunday, friends and fellow ocean lovers. May these images provide you with energy for another work week, Anna
Snowshoeing 101: Hitting the Trail
I left off with this image yesterday. Today I want to cover just a few basics to help you feel more confident once boots and snowshoes are securely fastened to your feet. If this is your first time on snowshoes look for fairly flat terrain. With your trekking poles for balancing support try and slowlyContinue reading “Snowshoeing 101: Hitting the Trail”
Off The Beaten Path: Londonderry, NS
On our way home from shopping in Masstown we turned right toward Londonderry at the crossroads in Bass River. Finding our way to Londonderry, an old mining town, has been on our agenda for two years. The sun shone brightly but it was too chilly for a walk with -15C due to a steady wind.Continue reading “Off The Beaten Path: Londonderry, NS”

I am very excited to share with you the release of a new page on this website. DrumrollContinue reading “Which Hike Today?”
A White Christmas After All!
The snow began around midnight and this morning the world was transformed. At the bottom of the backyard Canada Geese are gently conversing with the ducks, floating on the river while Ash and Teak chase each other. Wishing everyone a peaceful Christmas Day. May you spend it with family and friends, or celebrate it theContinue reading “A White Christmas After All!”
Visitor on a Snowy Day
The weather turned over night… and we were greeted by fluffy white stuff, otherwise known as snow, covering the yard. Imagine our delight when we had an unexpected visitor stop by at the bottom of our property during low tide! The bald eagle has never graced us with his presence this close. It certainly putContinue reading “Visitor on a Snowy Day”
Heads Up For Locals and Visitors to Parrsboro, NS

Jeffers Falls
A misty Wednesday, grey and threatening rain off and on for most of the day, perfect for spending some time exploring the woods. I recently found out that a sign at the Jeffers Falls trailhead had been installed. Today we had a chance to check it out. While the trail was described as easy withContinue reading “Jeffers Falls”
Crossing the Tantramar Marsh at Sunset
One of the marvellous things when travelling to and from New Brunswick is the marsh landscape. Numerous wind turbines contrast with trees providing strong silhouettes at sunset. Tonight the sky was dappled with mauve clouds while the sun slowly slipped below the horizon providing one more fiery splash. Magical! I just had to share theContinue reading “Crossing the Tantramar Marsh at Sunset”

A frosty morning The last day in November – Ice crystals aglow.
Near Sunset
Winding our way home With clouds illuminated – Sun is setting soon!
Weekend Excursion to the Mahone Bay Area
It was a blustery day yesterday, the weather app labelled it “breezy”. Mahone Bay is always a sight to behold. I will be attending the Winter leadership module offered by the Outdoor Council of Canada here today. Next we scouted the location of the workshop, then found our accommodation in Bridgewater followed by a lovelyContinue reading “Weekend Excursion to the Mahone Bay Area”
The Sentinel…
Standing strong and tall The Hemlock we pass each day – Stunning at sunset!
Best laid plans…
My friend and I had plans to participate in and support the first ever NSHike event in River Hebert this afternoon. On the way there I checked for the address and saw a posting that it had been cancelled for today. Well, we were already half way there so we continued to Amherst instead whereContinue reading “Best laid plans…”
