Walking in Wentworth
The weather was fantastic yesterday so I took the afternoon off (again) and we went for a lovely drive into the Wentworth valley (again). This time we parked outside the gate of the (closed) Provincial Park and walked in to access the trails.
Autumn Waterfall Walk
Is there anything better, on a beautiful autumn afternoon, than a drive to the valley to check out the leaves and maybe take a little walk to a waterfall?
Walking on the Gulf Shore
Highly edited. It was actually quite a nice late-September day.
Mushroom Trip
A late September walk at Lazy Bay Trail near Wallace, Nova Scotia revealed a wide variety of gorgeous fungi!

Enjoying the Peaceful Pause
I love this time of year, the pause between Christmas and the New Year. I've been able to enjoy it throughout my life, as a kid, a student, staff at a University, and now that I'm self-employed. It's a wonderful time to reflect on the past and imagine the future while...
