Long Weekend…

With the rain today it was time to spend some downtime planning… heading out early tomorrow for a beach excursion. Can’t wait to compare this cliff image with tomorrow’s. Based on past experiences the sandstone will be saturated with moisture and present even more vivid colours… check back tomorrow to see if I am correct.

Beach Impressions

Moody sky, unobstructed view of Five Islands and a vast beach to explore… great ingredients for a photo excursion… Happy Monday, Anna

Just a few close ups from recent excursions…

…clumps of moss, weathered driftwood, shelf fungi, newly emerged plants and a spiral lichen! Nature presents her gifts! Enjoy your Saturday. Best wishes, Anna

Cape Chignecto Provincial Park Coastal Trail – Final Section

Monday morning arrived with soft light and no rain. Breakfast was the quickest affair yet and with no tents to air or dry out we were back on the trail shortly after 7:30 am. 8 km to go… the finish line was so close! With positive energy we forged ahead fully aware of the oneContinue reading “Cape Chignecto Provincial Park Coastal Trail – Final Section”

Red Rocks in West Advocate, NS

On a grey and drizzly day the Red Rocks along West Advocate Beach always add a splash of much needed colour. On the way toward McGahey Brook, our turn around point yesterday, the sandstone formations appeared to be of a soft pink. On the way back the light had changed slightly due to the angleContinue reading “Red Rocks in West Advocate, NS”

Woodland Discoveries

We ventured back to Wards Falls today. Our primary reason was for conditioning, the goal we set was to complete the trail twice with our full packs. The total distance we estimated was somewhere around 14 km. We built in brief rests overlooking the falls each time and had lunch at the car after completingContinue reading “Woodland Discoveries”

Wards Falls Springtime Hike

With the sun out we decided to try a short hike with our full packs. Gaby and I each carried just over 30 lbs to see how we manage. The trail was virtually deserted, sunlight illuminated our surroundings adding springtime magic. Small waterfalls were rushing toward the stream. Soon we spotted the 16th bridge andContinue reading “Wards Falls Springtime Hike”

A “new to us” beach…

My friends and I embarked on a little hike today exploring a beach none of us had checked out before. The weather was perfect, the hiking group as well! It was a short 20 minute drive to Soley Cove Road where we parked the car close to beach access. The sun was out after aContinue reading “A “new to us” beach…”

Last Day of Touring with my Guest from Montreal…

Soley’s Cove was the destination of choice. No, it’s not first on the list for rock picking but my client had seen a recent blog post about a Soley Cove excursion and put in a special request. The weather and tides were in our favour and the opportunities to explore were unlimited! Everyone delighted inContinue reading “Last Day of Touring with my Guest from Montreal…”

Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends

It’s been a fabulous day here! One highlight was our personal “dance” lesson with “The Mistress of the Bay”, the mighty Bay of Fundy Tide. We set out about 45 minutes after low tide and experienced this beach a little different. None of us are slow walkers but we witnessed the water getting close toContinue reading “Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends”

Thomas Cove, Part Three

All good things come in threes… at least that’s what my grandmother used to say. The sun beckoned today and I could not stay inside. So, back to Thomas Cove, I went with my friend Robyn. It was time for checking trails for the third time this week😃 The tide was rolling in, the windContinue reading “Thomas Cove, Part Three”

Yesterday…

…Mother Nature sent a message to remind us to stay humble. Snow and freezing rain created fleeting jewels on tree branches and beach treasures. The ice crust and icicles didn’t last long after I captured them in photos. Friday blessings Anna

Thomas Cove Headlands Loop

Let’s continue where we left off yesterday. I reported on the Thomas Cove GeoSite in my previous post. Today i will provide some o sights on the Thomas Cove Headlands Trail Loop. The site map claims this loop to be 4 km in length. Our small group set a moderate pace and spent over twoContinue reading “Thomas Cove Headlands Loop”

Moody Thomas Cove

It was high time for a return to Thomas Cove in Lower Economy. The entrance to Economy Point Road is off Hwy 209 past the Cliffs of Fundy Welcome Centre in Economy toward Truro, a 35 minute drive from Parrsboro. The last time I visited was nearly two years ago in June. Today we wereContinue reading “Moody Thomas Cove”

Sunday Hike Adventure

The plan was to hike along the beach from Red Rocks to Refugee Cove, depending on the cooperation of the tide. Well, let’s just say “The Mistress of the Bay”, as my friend calls the Bay of Fundy tide, was not in the mood for a waltz or Foxtrott today. We made good time toContinue reading “Sunday Hike Adventure”

Morning Photo Excursion at -18 C: Destination Clarke Head

The beach was calling… I decided to chase the tide out early and my camera got a great workout. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I will not bore you with my writing when my pictures are so much more powerful. Our winter has not yielded many ice cakes along the shore thisContinue reading “Morning Photo Excursion at -18 C: Destination Clarke Head”
