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 [...]

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 [...]

Beachcombing At The First Stone House…….

I had to go back to check out a few spots that I never got to for one reason or another.This is the first of all the stone houses built.
This spot is right on the ocean…basement flooded more than once…On the Rocks alright!!
Nice day…sun in sun out…but warm wind.Enjoying myself
Lots of spots to go beachcombing! [...]

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 [...]

Sand Dollar Hunting

Beautiful day,sand is hot wind is gentle,low tide.I always find tons of sand dollars down here,I am getting low and need to collect some more.It is usually scarce with people down here if I don’t come around the main part of tourist season,but today there are quite a few down here.There is a big boat [...]

Back to the abandoned house!!

On one of my adventures I happened upon an old abandoned house,(for those of you who haven’t seen my video of it you can watch it on my blog here,) anyway ,I saw an old trunk upstairs in the house and couldn’t get to it because the stairs were not safe and could cave in [...]

other stone house?

     

Headin down to the other stone house,I have seen it from afar but never up close…it always looked like a fortress………Man what a day,sky is deep blue,wind is fallish and gentle….brings memories along with it! You just never know what kind of adventure each day is going to bring.When I am beachcombing I can [...]

Abandoned house….

Wow! An old abandoned house, just sitting there forgotten ,love going through old abandoned houses, a touch of the past into someone’s life. Most likely owned by foreigners who have past on and given the house to their children, who don’t want it, so it just sits there for 20 years or more until the [...]

unfinished stone house!!

Checking out a spot I had gone to 20 years ago……….. The guy who built the stone houses decided to build one for himself and never finished it ,now it is up for sale! The people down here call it the crazy house because it is built so strange.
UNBELIEVABLE! is the only word [...]
