Fall Colours at That Dutchman’s Cheese Farm in Economy

Just had to share! We stopped at That Dutchman Cheese Farm for some supplies and these are the colours that greeted us. Nothing can make a mundane shopping trip more enticing than lush flower beds and autumnal reds… enjoy!

Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island

It was my first time since Tropical Storm Lee had pounded our shoreline. And the changes I saw today were surprising. It really drove home the fact that the erosion of our shores is relentless. My goal this morning was to access the back beach at Partridge Island, it was the last day of veryContinue reading “Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island”

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”

Witnessing the fog lift…

…from Ottawa House-by-the-Sea beach. It was a tranquil Friday morning. I didn’t have to share the beach with anyone. What a treat! There was only 15 minutes between the first and last image of Ottawa House. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend so far!

Pictou Impressions

Pictou has come a long way over the past five years! We enjoyed our weekend in the area to learn more about its deeply-rooted Scottish history. If you have not visited I highly recommend doing so. The “Hector” Museum and Reproduction is well worth the time. There is a choice of restaurants and drinking establishmentsContinue reading “Pictou Impressions”

A New to Me Beach Near Sunset…

Autumnal equinox golden hour moments brought to you from Nova Scotia’s north shore! My exploration of Pictou County beaches continued. After a long day in a map and compass course which involved a fair amount of bushwhacking it was high time for some sandy beach walking.

Soley Cove With Explorers from B. C.

The weather could not have been more perfect for our Soley Cove Tour. The brief was for “red cliffs” and Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers delivered! I was able to throw in a few sea stacks for good measure… … and the reward were smiles all around

Shifting Season

Wednesday is NS Walks day in Parrsboro. Today was the first time that the air was cool enough that jackets or long sleeves were required. An afternoon woodland excursion reminded me that autumn is upon us…

Abundance!!!

It has been a stellar year for mushrooms! The rain, high humidity and warm temperatures created the perfect environment for various mushrooms. While I am only confident to pick three varieties for consumption I am busy preserving my last haul of close to 20 lbs (cleaned) chanterelles and Hydnum sp., otherwise known as hedgehogs. TheContinue reading “Abundance!!!”

Waiting for Lee…

Hurricane Lee is steadily advancing. With most of our preparations completed I felt the need to head to the beach. I was amazed by the calm that awaited. Diligent River Beach was approaching low tide and the light was soft and magical. It had been a while since my last visit. I could barely believeContinue reading “Waiting for Lee…”

Drama in the Sky around Clarke Head

We are preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Lee. There is only so much one can do, eventually you sit back and wait. My way to get ready is to head to the beach to survey and anticipate changes. I was treated to some stunning textures in the sky that seemed to intensify the coloursContinue reading “Drama in the Sky around Clarke Head”
