shingle and clapboard

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

We’ll be on the road early, making our way in the general direction of home. Plenty more to write about and show you as the past two days have been beyond amazing… however, they’ll have to wait until I have a bit more time.. perhaps even as early as this evening. However, in the meantime, […]

more treasure from kejimkujik

Wednesday, July 19th, 2006

Sometimes it turns out that the most simple thing can really make your day. That happened to me on Sunday while hiking at Kejimkujik National Park. After hiking the Gold Mines Trail, we stopped at Grafton Lake to do a bit of hiking around. While checking out the old dam and watching Ebony Jewelwing damselflies […]

rocks and waves

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

This morning, I was going to post part two of our Sunday hikes at Kejimkujik National Park (the interior section), but we’re just taking off for the day, so instead, here’s a scene from yesterday’s walks on beaches in the Bridgewater area. I’ll return to the Keji hikes tonight or tomorrow. Yesterday, we returned to […]

finding treasure at kejimkujik

Tuesday, July 18th, 2006

We spent Sunday hiking on three trails at Kejimkujik National Park. In this post, I’ll just write a bit about the first trail hiked — the Gold Mines trail. It’s just a short trail that leads through a lowland forest. It’s a self-guided tour with small signboards describing the history of gold mining on the […]

kejimkujik seaside adjunct

Yesterday, we spent most of the afternoon at the Kejimkujik Seaside Adjunct which, although separated by some distance, is part of the Kejimkujik National Park. It’s located about 25 km. southwest of Liverpool, NS. Our intention was to hike the longer coastal loop, but after about 15 minutes of walking over the barrens and bogs […]

we find the mermaid who lost her purse

Saturday, July 15th, 2006

Rather unexpectedly, we discovered that we would have a net connection this weekend, so I’m just dashing this off before we head out for a day of hiking. I’m jumping ahead too — past Thomas Cove — but will return to that sometime soon. Instead, these are a couple of scenes from yesterday’s discoveries. We […]

mermaid’s purse

Friday, July 14th, 2006

This morning, we’ll be moving on to a new spot from which to do some hiking and exploration for the next couple of days. I’m pretty sure there will be no net connection, so this morning’s post will probably be my last until Sunday night or beyond. I have a little time to burn before […]
