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.A reminder of sunnier and more adventurous times, this fog and rain and drizzle too shall pass.In the midst of this grey streak of RDF, I’m dreaming of bluer skies, dry trails, and getting outside with my camera again. Until then, hike planning continues...When the moment is just right...How we feel about hiking season coming!When was the last time that you hiked to a lighthouse? Let me know which one and when in the comments below. Who knows which light this is and which trail do you take to get there? #HikeNL #ExploreNLTA’s Facebook Page
