a place where nature, photography and writing meet
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
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 […]
After our hike to Wards Falls, we stopped off at the Joggins fossil cliffs before returning to Amherst. We’ve visited the cliffs several times in the past, but this time we came to walk the beaches and enjoy the incredible vistas rather than look for fossils (see above – click for larger view). Most people […]
