Sunshine on my shoulder

Exposed rocks

Middle Cove is my favourite place in the whole world. I grew up minutes from the beach and spent hours upon hours here or climbing up and down the cliffs that surround the cove. I believe I might know every rock.

I come here regularly to sit and think. It is a place that's conducive to reflection and grounding oneself. But not today. Today sister Kathy and I took a short hike along part of the East coast Trail towards Torbay. It was cool but sunny. As we walked along on the edge of the cliffs I could feel the sunshine on my shoulders. We stopped to look and savour. It was a time to be in the moment.

Wind blown

Along on the tops of the cliffs some of the trees succumbed to the wind and salt spray.

A great place to paddle

Motion is midway between Middle Cove and Torbay. Its a great little paddle to do on an evening or afternoon. The rocks and shoals offshore add to the kayak experience.

On the rocks

At Motion we scrambled down onto the rocks that sloped towards the sea. A different take on "rock hopping"!

Spilling over the rocks

Motion comes by its name honestly. There doesn't have to be much swell there to have some action among the rocks.

At Motion we stopped and took our time hiking back to Middle Cove. It was a perfect day for a hike and to feel the sunshine on my shoulders. Sunshine on my shoulders always makes me happy.
