Dreaming of getting out in my sea kayak soon. Here a quick look at a wonderful day we had paddling out of Chapel Cove last summer.Where will your weekend hiking adventures take you?Anna was very excited to be out with the Omas yesterday. The Omas were too-nothing better than exploring the outdoor world at toddler speed. We hiked, played, and learned river hydrology. Outdoor time is filled with exploration, play, learning and fun!Nurturing the next generation of hikers. Get them outside while they are young and they will love it forever (we hope). This is Anna the adventurer setting off on her hike, well dressed in layers, and her backpack at the ready. I could hardly keep up! #HikeNL #ExploreNLThe sun came out and invited us for a walk on the urban trails of St. John’s. A quick stroll through the grounds of Government House yielded this “must stop and admire moment.”This day will come...there is blue sky above the rain clouds. I know there is! Snuck out for a quick walk last night between deluges. It was good to move. This pic is from a February hike on the East Coast Trail.TA’s Facebook Page

Owls hoot in B flat, cuckoos in D, but the water ousel sings in the voice of the stream. She builds her nest back of the waterfalls so the water is a lullaby to the little ones. Must be where … Continue reading

Let there be spaces in your togetherness and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. … Continue reading
