  • Tree in the sunset

    Tree in the sunset

    Out for an evening walk I really enjoy this tree with the colourful sky from the sunset in the background.

  • Daisy

    Daisy

    Everything was still a bit wet from the rain the night before. There were a few patches of daisy’s on our walk and in one spot this one was all by itself.

  • Hall’s Harbour

    Hall’s Harbour

    We went for a bit of a walk along the shores in Hall’s Harbour yesterday. This is home to some of the highest tides in the world, and it’s always an enjoyable walk. My youngest likes exploring the “caves” in the cliffs. None of them go in very far but little indents into the side…

  • Spiral up the tower

    Spiral up the tower

    I’ve shared a picture of the Memorial Tower in Sir Sandford Fleming park (Dingle Park) before, but yesterday I was able to go inside for the first time. It’s pretty cool with three sections of stairs to get to the top. Starting out with a spiral stair case in the middle, followed by straight stairs…

  • Fresh cut grass

    Fresh cut grass

    This year I finally got around to doing something I’ve wanted to since we built our home, have a proper front lawn. When we built we seeded it and it just never took properly. There were so many weeds and dirt patches throughout. It was frustrating to mow and look at. One of my friends…

  • Lupins

    The sun is coming out after some much needed rain. The lupins are coming out as well.

  • Pointless signs

    There haven’t been any trains that run on these tracks for many years. Most of the tracks have been ripped up or buried and made into a trail system. So these railway crossing signs are only decorative. I guess that’s not really pointless though is it? They caught my attention with the fields in the…

  • Willow over pond

    Yesterday we took a bit of a tour of a friends property to see their art and gardens. It was all beautiful and I’m looking forward to go back later in the season to see how things change. I’ve always liked weeping willows and the two next to the pond here were really nice.

  • Public Garden Gates

    With a little time to waste I thought I’d be able to go for a little walk through the Public Gardens tonight. I forgot they close just before dusk and ended up missing the opportunity. The entrance gates are nice, but still would have preferred to be inside.

  • Sir Sandford Fleming (Dingle) Tower

    We came to hang out in Sir Sandford Fleming park, also known as The Dingle, for a while today. It is a park donated to Halifax by Fleming. He invented Standard time zones. My youngest calls this tower a castle and he wanted to come see it again. He knew we were coming and so…
