The mist didn’t deter visitors to Parrsboro from a post breakfast guided tour. “I’m happy!” and “We would have never explored this beach on our own!” were just two of the enthusiastic comments I overheard while walking below the 200 Million year old cliffs. Springer spaniel Angie was in her element: in and out ofContinue reading “Misty Morning Beach Hike to Clarke Head”

Still New Sites to Explore: FORCE Research Centre For Energy in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark
We had an opportunity to join Caleb Grant, geoscientist from the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, and Sandra Currie for a tour of the FORCE research center on energy and its beach in Westbay, just outside of Parrsboro, this afternoon. The Center is well worth a visit. Put it on your list for a rainy day.Continue reading “Still New Sites to Explore: FORCE Research Centre For Energy in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark”
Rain, rain, go away…
Heavy rain this morning surprised us, but what mixed the day up unnecessarily was the fact that the weather forecast was completely false. The rain stopped… but it was too late to reschedule the original tour planned for today. Good thing the guests are here for another day! We are venturing out tomorrow… let’s seeContinue reading “Rain, rain, go away…”
Evening Beach Walks are Back!
It’s a sign that summer is (nearly) here. We have switched our weekly NSWalks from Wednesday mornings to Tuesday evenings in anticipation of the heat. It was a small contingent that gathered tonight after the rain stopped. A blanket of fog was draped over Cape Blomidon in the distance. We refer to it as Glooscap’sContinue reading “Evening Beach Walks are Back!”
After the rain…
Apple blossoms!!! Lupines!!! Prunus padus, better known as Mayday… a little late but ever so welcome! …last but not least, a reminder that black flies don’t only bother humans. Thanks to a couple doses of Benadryl Teak’s eyes are all better tonight and the itch is gone! Take your insect repellent and make sure toContinue reading “After the rain…”
Forest Bathing at Wards Falls
The forest and waterfall were calling today… Wards Falls is always a great destination. My focus today was on contrasting and comparing the various stages of wildflowers and emergence of foliage. The woodland trail was almost dried up reminding us of how much we need moisture to keep wildfires at bay. This will be theContinue reading “Forest Bathing at Wards Falls”
Clarke Head in rain and as the sun breaks through the clouds…
The beach is always more impressive with dramatic skies! Despite the cloud cover the views were impressive with Cape Split clearly visible. Just as we arrived at Clarke Head arch the clouds burst and we were doused with rain and hail. The moisture intensified the colours of the cliffs and beach rocks even more! AndContinue reading “Clarke Head in rain and as the sun breaks through the clouds…”
The View from Partridge Island…
… at sunset looking toward Cape Sharp. Good night, world.
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…”
Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers: Excitement is Building!!
I have been spending a bit too much time in the office lately. Getting ready for tourist season is exciting but looking at so many hike destination images I yearn for some much needed outdoor time. And yet it’s important that all necessary steps are taken to ensure safety measures are in place, insurance policyContinue reading “Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers: Excitement is Building!!”
The Lone Goose…
She stood out, one leg tucked under to stay warm, balancing perfectly still on the ice in the Aboiteau. Such a sight to behold!
Landscape Layers
A beautiful day but no time to explore the beaches far from home… Between crossings things off my to-do-list and facilitating my cross-Canada artists group via Zoom I took 45 minutes for a brisk walk along First and Second Beaches. I was struck by the ethereal layers the landscape presented. Such a gift! Hope yourContinue reading “Landscape Layers”

First Beach on a Chilly Saturday Morning…
Enjoy your weekend, everyone! Happy Saturday, Anna
The Other Side of the Polar Freeze…
The weather has turned! Time to head back to the beach. We checked out Ottawa House Beach where we were treated to great wave action and some fabulous ice formations! An amazing treat to photograph with special thanks to Mother Nature!! Happy Sunday! Stay warm, Anna
This sums it up…
I don’t think I need to add a caption to this image… the background info: Teak went outside into the freezing yard. He did his business and decided that it was time to get one of us to pick him up from the backyard. He refused to take another step! He is not leaving hisContinue reading “This sums it up…”
Afternoon Adventure in the Rain
I am sure everyone has a spot in the town or village they reside in that could use some attention. I have been walking past a popular teenage hangout on a wooded hill almost daily for two years now. It’s tolerable in the summer when the bushes and trees are in full foliage but onceContinue reading “Afternoon Adventure in the Rain”
Backyard Red Pine Tree Study
The bottom of our backyard is a favourite place for the pups to romp. This morning, with snow flakes dancing from the sky, I joined them in their favourite spot. It gave me time to take a look around. As branches were covered with a layer of snow I became more aware of intersecting linesContinue reading “Backyard Red Pine Tree Study”
