Turkey Vulture

Turkey Vulture is called so because its face looks like a turkey. There are as many as 13 of them on the hillside behind the house! They are large birds, about 2 meters long when their wings are spread. It is amazing to see so many of them gathered together and circling in the sky.

First snow for this season

Four days ago, the temperature soared to 22 degrees Celsius, leading me to believe it was a summer day. However, this morning marked a stark contrast as the mercury plummeted to 1 degree Celsius. As anticipated, the entire area was blanketed in white. While I had hoped for the autumn leaves to showcase their vibrant […]

Autumn is in the air

The busy summer is over and autumn is in the air. My favorite autumn, the most colorful and peacful of the year, feels so short and fleeting.　A tree growing on the side of the road along my jogging path was fruiting bells of small apples.

Burgundy Dream Falls

Thunderstorms brought extreme rainfall to Nova Scotia around Halifax area. Our house was almost hit by the sudden waterfalls from the backyard hill. The water was very fast and in no time we had a pool in the backyard. If we had left it unnoticed, it would have flooded through the front door. We built […]

Spring has come

Spring Comes Slowly in Nova Scotia. The monochrome world is gradually changing into a colourful one. I like wildflowers because they bloom every year even if I do nothing.

First Snow Falls

First snow falls of the season. The cold air is pleasant while there is still a light dusting of snow. It is fun to find traces of animals on the snow.

A Little Friend

A time to get relaxed in the midst of a busy day. Lately, this little fellow has been in the corner of the deck waiting for me to come outside. When it’s warm in the afternoon, I like spending my time sitting on the deck reading books or just watching birds pecking on the grass. […]

Morning Run on Waverley Road

Waverley Road has such a nice view. You can enjoy the view by just driving through this road. I starts running at 6 am on weekends before traffic starts. When the sky is clear in early morning, you get to see an extra bonus of gorgeous scenery changes.

Flowers in our yard

The blue sky was a pleasant change from yesterday’s rainstorm. The irises have started to bloom all at once. The same flowers bloom every year, but the longer winter makes the colourful flowers stand out even more. Tomatoes bloomed early this year, and lettuce, which used to be very lanky, has become firm. The cucumbers, […]
