  • Fun fungi

    One of the things I’ve been fascinated by since moving to Nova Scotia is the variety of different mushrooms that grow here. On today’s hike at Gaff Point, I chose to take some photos of the different fungi on the edges of the trail. I have no idea what the types of fungi are, so…

  • Indian Path Commons

    I was looking for a local hiking trail – someplace I could get to without driving too far, and someplace not on the coast. It was too cold of a day to go hiking on the course (9 deg C). I decided upon Indian Path Commons hiking trails.

  • The Duck Pond

    The locals call it the duck pond. It is clear by the picture that it definitely has ducks, and although the signs say to not feed them, it is also clear by their friendliness and the way they approach people that they are fed on occasion. There is a 1km trail around it, that is…

  • Living in a bubble

    We are now living in a bubble – and it kind of feels like that. We are in the Atlantic Canada bubble – an area that has so far managed the coronavirus well enough that we don’t need to socially isolate. We can hug our friends. It is such a wonderful feeling and something that…

  • It takes a village to move Scott and Becky to Nova Scotia

    Not really, but having a village has made the process of moving a whole lot easier and has added a lot of joy to our lives. We talked about moving to Nova Scotia for years. When we moved to California, we decided that when we moved back to Canada, it would be to Nova Scotia.…
