Rain in the forecast kept away my regular Wednesday afternoon hikers. My trusty friend Gaby and her dog Enya were not deterred. We keep saying: “ We are not made of sugar… a little rain won’t melt us!” The tide was nearing its highest mark and the wave action was exhilarating. We hiked all theContinue reading “Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville: A Photographer’s Destination”

To Jeffers Falls and Beyond
Waking up to sunshine and blue sky was just what we hoped for. My friend and I had planned this particular excursion for a while and after rain, snow and flash freeze yesterday the conditions were perfect. Our hike led past Jeffers Falls where we discovered beautiful ice flows with edges smoothed by the waterContinue reading “To Jeffers Falls and Beyond”
Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light
On a whim my friend and I headed out to Soley Cove. Anne had never been, so I was keen on showing her this stretch of the Jurassic Coast line in the Upper Bay of Fundy. The sky was overcast and the diffused sunlight showcased the red sandstone cliffs to their best advantage. With longContinue reading “Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light”
Wednesdays Along the Parrsboro Shore: walk in the a. m. – hike in the p. m.
Wednesdays in Parrsboro during winter months are never without an outdoor opportunity! We walk in the morning (two differently paced groups) and we explore beaches and woodlands during the afternoon! Today’s afternoon excursion in the sun led us to Wards Brook Beach, the Brookville Formation and beyond. Soaking in the sunshine, a relaxing cuppa andContinue reading “Wednesdays Along the Parrsboro Shore: walk in the a. m. – hike in the p. m.”

Watch out: if you are a newcomer to our shore I might nab you and drag you to one of my favourite places… Clarke Head!

I could not resist sharing this photo memory from two years ago! Tuesday (Feb. 13th) I ventured to Clarke Head with the film crew. I blogged about it Wednesday (scroll back two days on this blog to refresh your memory). The video I am sharing has images from two years ago today… Happy weekend, everyone!
Sharing the beautiful place we call home…
Nearly three months ago to the day I received an email from Alex Mitchell, director and producer of onlyissueco.com.

Lichen
We are blessed with an abundance of Old Man’s Beard” along the coastline. I could not resist capturing some up close and personal images. Hope you enjoy them!
A Day of Firsts…
Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year. When I let the pups out into the backyard in the morning I spotted four quarters on the deck banister and I considered it a good omen. It turns out they were left there last weekend in four inches of snow when a friend feltContinue reading “A Day of Firsts…”

Mid-winter Tour Day!
This morning promised to be a great day! No matter how long we live here the early morning views make for many a “skip a heartbeat” moments. I needed that after the busy two days that are behind me. On Wednesday morning I woke up to an inquiry for a snowshoe tour from David inContinue reading “Mid-winter Tour Day!”

Storm Stayed
The weather forecast was very accurate this weekend: snow and wind for two full days made for time indoors. These are the kind of days that call for indoor projects like paint touch ups, making a new set of quilted pot holder mitts and finishing a section on my lace knitting project. Can’t wait toContinue reading “Storm Stayed”

Three Waterfalls Hike Event
It was a fabulous day to bring together a group of like-minded people! Together we explored Jeffers Falls, the Old Parrsboro Dam site and Hidden Falls. The sun pushed through the clouds and illuminated some of the most scenic stretches along the trails. Thanks to everyone who joined in.
Winter is here!
And I am doing the happy dance! Three Waterfalls Snowshoe Excursion is confirmed for tomorrow. Stay tuned for pictures of our first snowshoe session of the year!
