This has been a long wait! Last year’s summit was cancelled due to wildfires. This year it’s full steam ahead😊! It’s great to attend an event like this with a like-minded friend where we are thrilled about the views, the little treasures along the trail and the fact that we are surrounded by so manyContinue reading “Nova Scotia Hike Summit 2024”

Special Delivery!
It’s here! My special banner for networking and advertising opportunities has arrived along with a new batch of rack cards. I was so excited that I set the banner up immediately. Sorry for the hasty image. Changes are in the works with three full years of blogging coming to an end. Daily blogs will beContinue reading “Special Delivery!”
Leake Lake, Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Site
The fog lifted around the time my Wednesday walk group gathered. By lunch time the sky was bright blue and my friend Deena and I took our e-bikes out for our first ride of the season. Leake Lake was the perfect destination for a first outing. This small kettle lake is a popular hangout duringContinue reading “Leake Lake, Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Site”
Cape Chignecto Shelf Fungi
While hiking the Cape Chignecto Costal Trail last month I was struck by the variety of shelf fungi adorning the trees. Here is a small selection of various collections along the trail.
Tranquil Moment
…Bay of Fundy: Wind and Waves.
Looking for Treasures…
I enjoyed this Sunday morning tour with Deb and her grandson studying rocks and minerals around Partridge Island. Deb had contacted me a few weeks ago to see if I would accommodate them for a treasure hunt. The tides were favourable. We explored the weir, the beach, columnar basalt cliffs and spent time warming upContinue reading “Looking for Treasures…”
Near Sunset..
…a memory from my Cape Chignecto hike at the end of April.
Tour Preparations continued
Part of my tour supplies are Fundy Jewels, a high protein, nutritious, gluten-free, vegan energy bite. I first introduced them to the Keep Your Daydream folks. Since then I have refined and further enhanced the initial recipe. Packed with ingredients like wild blueberries, Cumberland County maple syrup and switching from peanut butter to almond butterContinue reading “Tour Preparations continued”
Family Additions…
Yup, they did it again… in 2023 we welcomed Tillie May 8th. She was a lively pup and must have been related to the Energizer Bunny. Tillie found the best forever home in Halifax last July and we still visit her when we get to the city. This year the date of arrival was MayContinue reading “Family Additions…”
Evergreen Content
“Evergreen Content” is a term we have all heard before, especially bloggers who have been at it for a while. I began blogging as part of the various websites I have created and maintained since 2008. I began FundyContemplations as a daily blog site on June 1st, 2021, long before I entertained the idea ofContinue reading “Evergreen Content”
Patterns Created by Wind and Waves
Anyone who has followed my blog for a while knows how much I love the ever-changing landscape. The tides present new surprises every time the beach emerges. Enjoy the offerings today!
Phinney Green on Victoria Day…
…with friends. A perfect day for a beach hike. Tranquility, sunshine, like-minded people, clouds reflecting in the Bay of Fundy and nothing but time!
Merchandise, anyone?
My sewing machine has been working overtime lately. I am finishing up a small run of limited edition string backpacks in four colour ways. These are designed specifically for family tours with children. Everyone has to have a bag to keep their treasure map and special treasures for safe keeping. What thrills me the mostContinue reading “Merchandise, anyone?”
Red Rocks in West Advocate
Enjoy!
Wild Roses…
Among the first green buds bursting open are the wild rose bushes lining the beaches. I am anticipating the blooms permeating the air with their sweet scent in just a few more weeks.

Monday Morning at Rocky Lake
Light mist was rising as I made my way to the Halifax Search & Rescue training centre for one more day of learning this morning. When the sun emerged this visual haiku caught my attention. A visual haiku is a capture of two seasons… here we have autumn and spring, soft green tips unfurling andContinue reading “Monday Morning at Rocky Lake”
