Yesterday’s glorious sunset promised a beautiful day ahead. Well, Mother Nature had a different idea. We woke up to strong winds and grey sky. Friends who had expressed interest in participating in the hike decided against battling the elements. The fact that there is no such thing as bad weather when one has proper clothingContinue reading “Winter Solstice Blessings”

Sunsets
If tonight’s sunset is any indication of what tomorrow brings I am predicting a spectacular Solstice hike…
Two more sleeps…
…until the guided Winter Solstice Hike to Clarke Head. At this time there are no registrations. It does not deter me. I am packing and getting ready. I recently invested in some audio visual accessories to capture video of my hike destinations. No matter whether I hike solo on Thursday or others join me atContinue reading “Two more sleeps…”
Winter Wind!
The weather predictions are real: it has been very windy all day, a typical pre-winter day with rain and wind. I couldn’t resist stopping at First Beach on the way home from appointments. Enjoy!
Feeling a bit like Christmas here
…if the Santa collection isn’t doing the trick… …perhaps a tray of home baking will do the trick.

Jeffers Falls Revisited
Our multi-hike day last Thursday ended with checking on the trail to Jeffers Falls. There were some minor improvements, especially at the point where it used to be difficult to determine which way the path leads approaching the final section near the scree slope. I continue to stand by my evaluation that the final sectionContinue reading “Jeffers Falls Revisited”
Hidden Falls – Best Kept Secret To Date!
Those who have followed my blog for a while saw my post from August where I tried to reach Hidden Falls but the high water in the brook prevented my attempt at crossing. I tried twice more… to mo avail. Last Thursday, October 5th, my friend and I stopped on the way back from FiveContinue reading “Hidden Falls – Best Kept Secret To Date!”

Quick Afternoon Hike to Wards Falls with my Friend
It was a busy weekend! I am so glad to have been able to attend the 13th Annual Parrsboro Film Festival for the first time since moving here. What a fantastic event! The line up of feature length and short films was truly educational, thought-provoking and entertaining. My friend Kristi was in the area forContinue reading “Quick Afternoon Hike to Wards Falls with my Friend”
