I just received my TTT newsletter for 2016 and unfortunately I can’t attend this year, but I certainly recommend this festival.   Norris Point and Woody Point are breathtaking!

This festival provides everything I love…hiking, entertainment, meeting new people and exploring new places. People come from all over Canada and the United States for this event. Trails Tales Tunes May 20-29 2016  what an adventure it will be!

After sipping refreshments on the dock outside of The Cat Stop Pub and Grub, we did a little hike. Amazing vistas, but the seaweed is slippery! A little over zealous when surrounded by such beauty, I took a little dip in the water!

One of the guided hikes we did.  Layers of clothing were removed the further we walked.

Yes, that’s a moose.  It was like walking through a dead forest, the moose do so much damage here.

Snow is not unusual for us in April; however, this amount is ridiculous!  It feels as if  it has been snowing forever, and we won’t even talk about the winds!

Yesterday we had a bit of a reprieve and decided to go snowshoeing, it was beautiful.

“Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop away from you like the leaves of autumn.” John Muir

I was in awe of the grey hues in the sky. I have been looking for a grey paint and wished that I could take a sample. Bight Frost?  Cold Mist of April? Wild  Bight Grey? Wouldn’t it be delightful to see these colour samples in paint stores!
