Crescent Beach Block…..

Just a little video showing our towns  pathway to the beach     ( that was just redone last year) blocked by rocks….the piece of land next to it was sold and the owners wanted to extend their lawn right over our passage way to the beach…..I guess maybe they changed their mind when someone told them [...]

Nova Scotia Music Awards Brunch

Well, I got to go hang out at the Nova Scotia Music Awards last weekend and take in some music.We …Harmony Bazaar Festival of women and song ….were  nominated for an award…Event of the Year……we didn’t win…… The Halifax Pop explosion won,but it was good publicity just to get nominated.These awards were given out at [...]

Clam Island

Man, I haven’t been out on the shores for awhile…..seems like a good day to,even if it is cloudy..it’s fresh and completely Autumn.I have never been down to clam Island because I was told a few years ago that there are alot of sink holes near the shore line and is a bit tricky getting [...]

Sonny and Cher!

Now, before you look at this video you have to know the story first…..a long time ago(20) years ago,when lip syncing was very popular I decided to do one because I had the perfect song and the perfect person to do it with.The song was “I got you babe’ and I would be Cher and [...]

Hurricane Bill

 
Well,Hurricane Bill didn’t last long,alot of wind and rain in the early morning hours,by lunch time  it was all over, but it flooded some areas of our little town.We have one way in and one way out and that’s just where it flooded.They closed the road for a while which meant no one could get [...]

Cranberry Island

Rain….fog….rain…fog….gotta get out of the house,heading over to Cranberry Island.It’s right across from where I live but I haven’t been over in awhile and I could use some exercise today.
Grew up playing on Cranberry…hide and seek,sometimes we would stay all day and play and then swim back on the down tide,the game mostly lasted until [...]

Johnny’s Ducks….

When I go beachcombing I usually go by this huge yard with a big fence and a pond inside….often wondered what was inside..I’ve seen Johnny outside working a lot….going to visit today….
Wow,there are lots of Ducks…..ducks like I have never seen! Johnny is a duck breeder in his spare time.He buys and sells from all [...]

Sams Update…..

I talked with Sam the other day,and winter has been a little rough for him at times…..his fire needs to stoked every few hours so needless to say it goes out at night and he has to restart it in the early morning.At night he crawls in his bed (made just like a birds nest) [...]

Live Seal on the beach!

Storm coming later today so I went out for a early morning walk and came across a seal pup washed high up on the sand.Looks like it came in on the high tide and has been there for awhile.They are sassy creatures and can hop 4 or 5 feet to attack if they wish to.But [...]

Into The Wild……..

I met a real cool guy last week,he has decided to live in the middle of the woods in a tent for the winter! Well, I said “I have to see this”.In Nova Scotia although it’s only Dec,it still gets freezing at night.He has never lived in Nova Scotia before and had no real idea [...]

Foghorn

Going up the coast a bit……don’t feel much like beachcombing but I do feel like hiking.
Came across a lighthouse and its loud foghorn!……scared the crap out of me…….I go to sleep to the one just off shore…….glad that were not THAT close.
The storm passed by 2 days ago and it’s still stormy.The smell and taste [...]

Barrel Head Hunting

Warm day,wonder if the fishermen are out around the wharfs today getting ready for the season.I would like to run into a few of them in particular who may have some barrel heads for me.It’s always nice to have a yarn with them……headin down to one of the remote wharfs
The smell of Autumn is great [...]

East Side beachcombing

Beautiful fall day,warm and inviting.
Man,nice spot here,kind of reclusive ,mostly locals,I don’t think they are used to too many people down this way.
Looks like I can walk the coast line for a couple miles to that old lighthouse that I had seen out on the point yesterday.
Tons and tons of driftwood! Yahoo!
It’s the oldest lighthouse [...]

Sunrise

Beautiful sunrise,may get to go to Cranberry Island on the low tide!
Crisp out,seagulls squawking,sun rising.
The smell of low tide makes me yearn for my youth,sending messages to my brain of things long past.
Tide didn’t go completely low and I don’t feel like getting wet,so I will wait to see if it goes any lower,full moon [...]

swimming at the stone house !

Beautiful day,going down for a swim at the stone house.The people who own it are fantastic people and really appreciate what they have.They are away and told me I could come anytime to enjoy it……so I am going! I will do some beachcombing along the way since it is a bit of a trip to [...]
