My husband and I moved to the Maritimes in 2007 (Nova Scotia, Canada). Thanks to our family @reneetougas and @toesalad and their three-some who then lived in Maine , US, we discovered the pleasures of spending time with them on the trail. Gradually our adventures expanded into multiple-day back country hikes and we haven’t ‘looked back since’!
We had perfect winter weather conditions on the first Saturday in January. Hiking friend Janice led the way around this large managed woodlot: saw lots of animal tracks and two deer - and many beautifully-shaped Christmas trees of all sizes.
View of Cumberland Strait from our friend's/host's cottage -Malignant Cove near Cape George, NS. Captured this shot the morning after our hike before the fresh 'dusting' disappeared in the sun's warmth.
December 26/17, my last trek of this favourite Gaff Point, NS hike for this year. So very happy to enjoy the rocky ocean beauty (and a bracing, brisk wind) with @reneetougas and @toesalad, @mypictograph.
A sunset with an ocean view- at campsite first night on the Grand Manan trail. Magic continued with a spectacular full moon - viewed 6:00 AM from our open tent flap. Love it!!
