TRAILS ~ MANY HAPPY TRAILS

Hi there!

I'm high on the trail atop MacDonald Hill.

(high on life that is, winkers!)

Always surveying the cliff  making sure it hasn't fallen away too much.

After all we had a whooper of a winter 

followed now by rains

causing erosion on one of my favourite trails.

Now this trail along the Atlantic View Trail

always intrigues me.

How did it get there?

What animal or human decided it was a better idea to cross through the bog

than going around?

With all the wetness,

it doesn't deter me from making my scheduled rounds

on the endless trails in my garden.

Our walking trails are citified too.

The Dartmouth Waterfront Boardwalk

was my best surprise this week.

This manicured pedestrian harbour walkway

was a more controlled walking trail.

Notice the leash!

After my swim at Birch Cove the other day

my body trailed water marks every where.

No chance I can hide from the towel that is heading my way.

Such is my little bit of
TRAIL TALK
which as you may have detected makes me
BEYOND HAPPY!

So as Roy & Dale Evans always used to sing 

Yes, many Happy Trails to you all!!

APRIL •*¨*•♫♪

April has arrived!

This has always been a month for renewal and rejuvenation.

So today we decided that everything just felt right

for a walk in the park. 

Just look at Jim's face and my determined canter up the hill.

I just never understood why one would need Nordic walking poles!

Perhaps, it's because I have 4 legs!

This is the 1st time since 2013 that Daddy Ron

has had the opportunity soak up this view.

We found this picnic table along the edge of the pathway

and just stopped and stared for awhile.

The entrance to the Halifax Harbour looks so calm and serene today.

This vantage point really gives you an idea of the height of this hill

with many skeleton trees left over from Hurricane Juan in 2003.

The vegetation is returning slowly covering the land below.

One good thing though is that the view has opened up

a remarkable vista for quite a few years now.

Discovering a new path always turns into a photo op of clicking.

I am hiding behind shrubs

Jim is checking the depth of the snow

The container pier is bustling down below

and

Ron is taking pictures.

This shows you what happens when the guys aren't paying attention to me!

I smelled ocean water from high on the hill

and

before we all knew it

I WAS ON THE BEACH ~~

and into the water!

Sheeh what's a girl to do!?!

I haven't swum since last November

and 

it's high time tide (pun) that I took full advantage of it.
