First Client of the Season: Mission “Rockhound“

We met via Facebook last year: a prospective visitor the Parrsboro Shore looking for a guide to navigate the highest tides in the world! The official listed businesses she contacted didn’t respond, some FB comments suggested she better not plan on coming if she didn’t understand the tides… I sent a private Message and offeredContinue reading “First Client of the Season: Mission “Rockhound“”

Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends

It’s been a fabulous day here! One highlight was our personal “dance” lesson with “The Mistress of the Bay”, the mighty Bay of Fundy Tide. We set out about 45 minutes after low tide and experienced this beach a little different. None of us are slow walkers but we witnessed the water getting close toContinue reading “Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends”

Thomas Cove, Part Three

All good things come in threes… at least that’s what my grandmother used to say. The sun beckoned today and I could not stay inside. So, back to Thomas Cove, I went with my friend Robyn. It was time for checking trails for the third time this week😃 The tide was rolling in, the windContinue reading “Thomas Cove, Part Three”

Yesterday…

…Mother Nature sent a message to remind us to stay humble. Snow and freezing rain created fleeting jewels on tree branches and beach treasures. The ice crust and icicles didn’t last long after I captured them in photos. Friday blessings Anna

I will coverContinue reading “Thomes Cove Cliffs of Fundy Geo Site Excursion”

Clarke Head Afternoon Hike

It was a quiet, contemplative excursion to Clarke Head this afternoon. We spent time examining rocks, discovering pyrite, admiring more sparkle on the water, walking among seaweed covered rocks and soaking in the spring breeze. Happy Monday! Best wishes for a productive week, Anna

Cape d’Or Never Disappoints!

It was grey, we had some snow but the closer we got to Cape d’Or the more blue sky appeared! We hiked in on the main road (somewhere during the planning stages I misunderstood that we would be exploring the woods…😜). Instead we had an uphill hike both ways… excellent for conditioning for more strenuousContinue reading “Cape d’Or Never Disappoints!”

Anticipation…

It’s been a very wet and chilly day. I have a hike planned for tomorrow… my friends and are heading back to Cape d’Or. I am hopeful the weather will be as inviting as in the image above, captured on March 17th. The rain today was perfect for packing my knapsack and for creating aContinue reading “Anticipation…”
