The trail to Wards Falls holds treasures to discover any time of the year. We were happy it wasn’t too muddy. The brook was gurgling gently as we navigated the trail of sixteen bridges, criss-crossing the woodland stream as it glistened in the sun. We even found some icicles in the shaded areas. There wereContinue reading “Wards Falls Woodland Hike”

Share-worthy: Kingdom of the Tide
I spent my morning in a choice spot along the Upper Bay of Fundy Minas Basin on the beach at Five Islands Provincial Park. After a stormy day and night the wind was easing up a little, enough that I could lean into it and not lose my footing. I tried to capture the forceContinue reading “Share-worthy: Kingdom of the Tide”

Rainy Day Beach Adventure
We didn’t let a little rain get us down or abandon a mid-day low tide hike to Clarke Head. Days like these ensure deserted beaches… We hiked in steady drizzle but with layers of wool and a rain shell we stayed warm and toasty. Another amazing hike to my favourite spot in Parrsboro! Happy Sunday,Continue reading “Rainy Day Beach Adventure”
The Photographer’s Eye Never Closes…
Our Saturday morning walk led to the beach. It has been a while since I walked from Parrsboro’s First Beach to the beach below Glooscap Campground. The wind held off and the cliffs glowed in the morning sun illuminating the icicles oozing from the rocks.
