Labour Day weekend has always been a reminder that summer is slowly transitioning. This morning I was greeted by a chill in the air and I took note of how the sun’s path has gradually changed. I love autumnal light. It is softer and reveals certain details in nature we overlook during hot summer days.Continue reading “Changes…”

Walking at Phinney Green at Low Tide
This beach never disappoints! We came upon a couple collecting dulse… …but for the rest of the sunny walk we found ourselves alone, wading in the gentle waves lapping at the pebble beach. Several industrious spiders were spinning furiously to repair their webs on the shady side of the large rock. The view never disappoints!Continue reading “Walking at Phinney Green at Low Tide”
Sunset Walk at Ottawa House Beach in Parrsboro
All summer long we gathered to walk the beaches at sunset, my walking group and I. Last night was the last evening walk for 2022. It was a perfect evening, concluded with a small bonfire with a most spectacular sunset as the backdrop. Best wishes for a fabulous Tuesday, Anna
Backyard impressions…
I realized, taking time out is easy when you have a backyard overlooking a river that rises and falls with the tides. The geese were out for an afternoon float yesterday. Wishing everyone a peaceful start to the week! Don’t forget to stop and smell the flowers! Anna
Tide Pool Observation
Tide pools on the Bay of Fundy are vastly different from those along other coast lines. The extreme high tides are tough on sea life and one has to look hard for small creatures moving about in shallow pools of water. My favourite creatures to watch are tiny hermit crabs. Enjoy! Happy Sunday, friends! SendingContinue reading “Tide Pool Observation”
Close to Sunset…
Mysterious light Pushing through the clouds to earth – Sun is setting soon.
Forest Bathing
Following my beach walk last Tuesday I decided to look for mushrooms in the small stand of trees near home. Just as I locked the car and stepped onto the trail the heavens opened up… no use heading home: the rain was warm and I knew I would eventually dry off. Chanterelles have not beenContinue reading “Forest Bathing”
The Road Less Travelled…
Today we travelled in the opposite direction, away from the Fundy shore. Blueberry fields and forest presented themselves. And for the first time ever we noticed this ancient sentinel standing guard in the middle of a blueberry field. The question begs: why have we never noticed this Hemlock before? Sometimes it’s a good idea toContinue reading “The Road Less Travelled…”
When feeling under the weather… hike along the beach!
The day started a bit slow for me. But instead of sitting on the couch knitting the urge struck to get out, explore a beach and breathe in salty air! My first destination choice is always Clarke Head. I messaged my friend to see if she would be interested and it was great to hearContinue reading “When feeling under the weather… hike along the beach!”
Sharing Beaches…
L -I think I gave another Phinney’s Green Beach fan. Susan had never visited here before and she was smitten… Let me take you sometime! Just say the word! I am always happy to share, Anna
Sunday Sunset Reflections
It was a colourful sunset tonight. The house smells heavenly… I am cooking up a triple batch of rhubarb butter, dehydrating another chanterelle find and am ready to get about seven pints of blueberries we foraged along the edge of a recently harvested field. We are just getting into foraging mode. Last year the chanterellesContinue reading “Sunday Sunset Reflections”
First Anniversary…
Have you ever wondered how to find the beaches and spend quality time exploring without worrying about tidal times? You have a new option: read more about my new venture here!
Gilbert Hill Vista
One of the best places in the Parrsboro area to watch the sunset would be from Gilbert Hill. With Cape Split in the distance, Partridge Island illuminated by the setting sun this view takes my breath away every time. The day I witnessed the setting of the sun the full reward came after the goldenContinue reading “Gilbert Hill Vista”
Anatomy of a Bay of Fundy Ice Cake…
No words are necessary when encountering a stranded ice cake. Enjoy! Wishing you a beautiful day filled with sunshine and tranquility. Anna
No matter what the weather…
Clarke Head on a Sunday morning… moving from light snow to full sunshine along the Fundy Shore!
Parrsboro’s Inner Harbour
Ice and more ice… it’s a cold winter this year but not cold enough to keep me at home.
Time Flies…
A couple of busy days are behind me… but the outcomes bear great promises for the future!
And the Sunshine Returns…
All is well… Nova Scotia and New Brunswick received a big gift from Mother Nature. We weren’t affected too much. Best of all, it turned the world into a magical winter wonderland!
And so it begins…
The forecast for a major winter storm has been circulating in the news for several days. With temperatures around +10 C yesterday and blue skies I made it to the beach twice. In the morning the tide was out and it afforded us a nice, leisurely walk. When I returned to the same beach theContinue reading “And so it begins…”
The Ancients…
As long as it is not snowing, the wind too strong or the rain pelting down I make an effort to get out even during the winter… Diligent River called!
