Winter Winds…

What an amazing sky we woke up to this morning. After a night of strong winds and some rain, the winter wonderland from two days ago has completely disappeared. But with a vivid sky like this which photographer and nature observer will protest too much? Such clouds, ranging from pale to nearly charcoal grey withContinue reading “Winter Winds…”

And this was yesterday…

…Ice was flowing on the Ferrels River at the bottom of our back yard. A rare sight indeed but mesmerizing non-the-less. I think it means that winter is here and even the Bay of Fundy gets some ice the odd day. It has warmed up since yesterday and the ice has disappeared completely. The skyContinue reading “And this was yesterday…”

A Perfect Spot…

Photography is not possible without a source of light… the light this time of the year in the Bay of Fundy is extra special.

Fluffy Snow…

…is falling today! Discoveries galore: from little puppy footprints to maple leaves hiding under a white blanket to lichen growing in the trees, the gently falling snow dampens the everyday noises and hides decay fall has left behind. My favourite discovery this morning was the lichen and moss and how they welcomed the snowflakes, transformingContinue reading “Fluffy Snow…”

Perseverance pays off…

I posted about my quest to find wave action several times already… Last Saturday afternoon I jumped in the car and drove the 4 km to Partridge Island Beach. Once I parked the vehicle I had trouble opening the door with the wind pushing against it. Ottawa House and Partridge Island Beaches are more sheltered,Continue reading “Perseverance pays off…”

First Snow…

There were several weather warnings in effect the day before yesterday. We had an unexpected trip to Halifax for medical reasons and decided to get a hotel in the city but not without concern about leaving our home back in Parrsboro. The predictions for wind damage and flooding were dire… but once again it turnedContinue reading “First Snow…”

Calm Between Storms

In keeping with my daily posts a quick update from an unexpected sojourn to Halifax for a medical appointment. We decided to drive in a day early due to the weather forecast. The trip was one battling rain but the wind died down and the rain has slowed as well. This was the view thisContinue reading “Calm Between Storms”

Discoveries

“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes.” – Marcel Proust I make a point of walking every morning. It’s not just a time to myself, I walk our dogs and the route I choose is usually the same each day. Yesterday I veered off my regularContinue reading “Discoveries”

Golden Hour at Second Beach

Following a few days without a beach walk I am always grateful when the weather cooperates and the sun presents me with magical light…

Patches of Light…

Late fall is a time of transition. Nothing drives home this natural occurrence more than a visit to a familiar forest where, not too long ago, I marveled at the magic light filtering through the colourful leaves…
