~Ralph Waldo Emerson
FALLS LAKE
So here we are on our third ‘camping’ outing of the season, but this time we left the home on wheels turtle life behind for a family weekend in a rustic cabin in the Annapolis Valley. We have become accustomed to having everything we need close at hand in RED II, and...
FIVE ISLANDS
Our second camping adventure was even more enjoyable that the first, if that’s possible. After seeing the amazing rock formations and sea caves of the Ovens Nature Park, F bought himself a book on local geology. As it turned out this new location at Five Islands...
THE OVENS
Well folks, we finally extracted ourselves from our little camping at home location. Provincial and private camp grounds have been allowed to open here with some restrictions. We had booked this first place a while ago for the May long weekend and they are now...

“The earth has music for those who listen” March is here. One of my favourite months. When winter is less wintery. When things planted last year begin to poke boldly through the still cold ground. If they can be so optimistic then for sure so can I. After all, the...
The DEPTH of WINTER
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.”~ Albert Camus I got to thinking that I should post pictures of snow for you, at the same time bring you all up to date. We brag to friends and family from away,...
CHRISTMAS by the SEA – 2020 style
Welcome folks from away. So glad you stopped by for an update. This will be our fourth Christmas at RED by the Sea! Already! How is it possible that time has flown by so quickly? Yes we are busy old retirees. At least one of us would insist not old at all. We’ll...
