Honestly before I got here I was planning on spending more time coming and going and still exploring nearby areas. So far though, it’s been about being around my sister and the kids and the routine has been a nice break.

I got away on Thursday the 17th for the day, spending a very cold day in the Joggins Nova Scotia area and along the fossil cliffs of Joggins. The wind was blowing and the beach along the ocean was covered in a thin coating of ice. I got some shots of the beach, the icicles hanging from the cliffs and some of an abandoned house with a bathtub on the front lawn.

As it looks now it seems that I’ll be able to make the ferry trip to Newfoundland after I leave Nova Scotia. I have plans to visit the Easternmost point in North America which is Cape Spear. Once I’ve experienced that, I can happily make my way back to BC, although I’m thinking that in order to completely claim this trip as a cross Canada I will have to find the Westernmost point as well, we’ll see.

That’s about it for now. Just wanted to update everyone and let you all know that this blog is far from dead, just a quiet holiday hiatus over Christmas. Soon I will be back on the road and I have a feeling I will have even more to say before I get home.

All the best to everyone over the holidays and may your time be spent with friends and family.

Implements of Yesterday

I’ve been hanging with Sunni and the kids here in Springhill and generally recharging for what I believe will be a “colder” return trip. I was really blessed with good weather on my way out but lets face the facts, it’s winter in Canada and January – February are gonna get interesting. I almost can’t wait.

Not much to report in the way of travel. I’m going to try and get a few days away next week and get to some Atlantic shoreline. Wednesday and Thursday are supposed to be sunny but chilly.

Aside from being semi lazy here I’m doing some editing and working on a new website for my friend Heidi’s music which should be live before I leave here. The Christmas decorations are going up and it’s nice to be around family. Even though money is tight for everyone here it simply doesn’t matter, it’s the people that count.

I do miss my friends back home but they’re my friends and will all be there when I get back. We’ll all catch up when I get back if not keeping touch by Facebook etc.

Until next time,

If this trip had anything resembling a “destination” this is it. My holiday stop with the only family I have out here. Roughly my mid point before I turn around but with any luck, I’ve still got some East left to see.

One thing about this trip so far, my timing has been great. I arrived in Springhill yesterday. Hung out with my sister Sunni and her kids and during the evening it started to snow. Well it’s still snowing. With about a foot of snow outside I’m quite content today to stay inside, catch up with some coffee, relax and work on some photo editing.

I will be here in Springhill for awhile during the holidays. Weather and roads permitting I will making some short trips in different directions for a few days here and there but for the most part my trip has slowed down for a few weeks. To resume in January when it really gets interesting weather wise out here.

So for now, check back for many new photo galleries and photo updates and I’ll be updating regularly from the small little town of Springhill.

Happy Holidays,
W
