One of the things we do with our friends and family that I love is having evening fires at the shore. We have a great group so the company is good no matter what and being at the shore it’s always so peaceful. Put those good people together at the shore and it just makesContinue reading “Sunset at the shore”

Color vs black and white
I’m far from a photographer but I take photos often from my iPhone when we’re out and about enjoying nature. For a long time I’ve found I really like black and white photos instead of color. I’m not sure if it has to do with me being color blind and not seeing color as theyContinue reading “Color vs black and white”
First Camping Trip
For the past couple of years I’ve been slowly buying some supplies for camping. Lots of our friends and family love to camp and have been trying to get us to join them. We’ve been doing day trips to meet up with them and do the fun things without having to set up, tear down,Continue reading “First Camping Trip”
Good and busy weekend
As luck would have it most of our weekends have worked out really well to not have both basketball tournaments and dance competitions falling at the same time. This weekend was the exception. Thankfully the basketball tournament is one that we hosted ourselves, so not far from home. The dance competition was in Halifax soContinue reading “Good and busy weekend”
Easy task, all gone wrong
Today was the day I was finally going to take care of a task I’d been putting off for a while. Getting the winter tires off my and my daughters car. This is a pretty easy task that I’ve done a bunch, thanks mostly to good friends who loan me their floor Jack and electricContinue reading “Easy task, all gone wrong”

I need to write on my blog. I don’t know what to write. Not really in the mood to write. I’m exhausted pretty much all the time. Here’s a picture of me and our dog.

I’ve slackedContinue reading “WorldWide WordPress 5k 2020”
Long exposure iPhone photos
This isn’t anything new, but it was new to me. In fact I believe it has been around since iOS11 which came out about three years ago. Lately we’ve been doing lots of trails and that involve water of some sort and I’ve found myself wishing that I took our dSLR camera with us soContinue reading “Long exposure iPhone photos”
Different type of book tour
Back in November I read a great book written by a local friend Laura Churchill Duke called Two Crows Sorrow. It’s a creative nonfiction about a murder which took place in a local community in 1904. Before reading the book I had not heard of the story, but am glad I do now. The storyContinue reading “Different type of book tour”
Biking the Harvest Moon Trail
Since I started trying to get back into biking a few years back I had thought it would be cool to bike the whole Harvest Moon trail. Its an old railbed that’s been converted to a trail going between Grand Pre and Annapolis Royal here in the Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia. It’s 110 kmContinue reading “Biking the Harvest Moon Trail”
