Hired to guide… thanks to a Google search!

This was definitely a first for me! A travel influencer family from Florida found me on Google while planning their Nova Scotia itinerary. I had forgotten that there would be filming… I had agreed to that in the contact email but assumed it would be all about the landscape. Well, it was about the landscapeContinue reading “Hired to guide… thanks to a Google search!”

Love What I Do!!

Just spent the most amazing time with this dynamic family from Florida exploring Soley Cove at low tide today! Tune in tomorrow to read all about the tour and see the pictures! Good night, Anna

Bushwhacking Required…

It was time to discover new beach territory today. This beach access is not for the faint of heart. The ground was very uneven, boggy and covered with high grass making us second guess each step. A little creek merged with the rough, almost completely overgrown foot path. I must admit, if I had beenContinue reading “Bushwhacking Required…”

Rock Hunting Guided Tour

The weather cooperated today! The rain stopped just as we arrived at our starting point. It held off for the entire time we explored the beach. My wonderful clients from Virginia really enjoyed their time on Two Islands Beach as we experienced the tide moving out to expose the ocean floor! When the sun pushedContinue reading “Rock Hunting Guided Tour”

Rain, rain, go away…

Heavy rain this morning surprised us, but what mixed the day up unnecessarily was the fact that the weather forecast was completely false. The rain stopped… but it was too late to reschedule the original tour planned for today. Good thing the guests are here for another day! We are venturing out tomorrow… let’s seeContinue reading “Rain, rain, go away…”

Just putting this out here for everyone! NSWalks continues to be active in Parrsboro. We walk in any weather! There are two separate groups. The Parrsboro Pacers have moved from Wednesday mornings to Tuesday nights to avoid the summer heat! These walks are free and are organized and led by a certified NSWalks leader. JoinContinue reading “Tuesday Evening Walks All Summer in Beautiful Parrsboro!”

Monday… a day to plan and collaborate!

I just picked some random photos from yesterday as today was one of those rare days where I didn’t make it to the beach. Instead I spent a good amount of time in meetings to plan some special tours and events for fall and winter. It’s never too early to get organized! I am inContinue reading “Monday… a day to plan and collaborate!”

Time Travel at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs

It’s been a while since I last descended the staircase to the beach below the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today the weather was perfect for a long beach hike with friends… on the agenda was Lower Cove to view the Coal Age fossil trees I have heard so much about. It’sContinue reading “Time Travel at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs”

Have you ever…?

…heard of such a thing like your “house beach?” Truth be told, I made it up today. I was once again exploring the stretch of beach from Glooscap Campground to the arch at Clark Head when I remembered growing up in a small Bavarian village where we referred to one mountain as our “house mountain”,Continue reading “Have you ever…?”

Watching the Waters Meet on a Misty Spring Day

The rain had stopped when we set out for the beach earlier today. But as we arrived at Two Islands Beach Big and Little Brother Isles were shrouded in mist. We had time to explore the barnacle covered exposed ocean floor while the drizzle stopped. The primary reason for our beach excursion was to observeContinue reading “Watching the Waters Meet on a Misty Spring Day”

Evening Beach Walks are Back!

It’s a sign that summer is (nearly) here. We have switched our weekly NSWalks from Wednesday mornings to Tuesday evenings in anticipation of the heat. It was a small contingent that gathered tonight after the rain stopped. A blanket of fog was draped over Cape Blomidon in the distance. We refer to it as Glooscap’sContinue reading “Evening Beach Walks are Back!”

A Beach Clean Up Story…

The call for a beach clean up in West Advocate was posted by the Cliffs of Fundy GeoPark a couple weeks ago. With the cancellation of the Hike Summit my Monday was suddenly free, so I ventured out to Advocate Harbour this morning. I arrived a little early. Once the light rain slowed I beganContinue reading “A Beach Clean Up Story…”

Among The Trees…

… was the title of the video that popped up on my phone today. Strange how it evoked a longing to head out and explore the forest. An hour after the video presented itself the notice, that hiking restrictions in wooded areas are now lifted in Nova Scotia, was issued. The rain we have enjoyedContinue reading “Among The Trees…”

Ottawa House-by-the Sea: Now Open for the 2023 Season!

Despite the rainy day we were busy serving visitors throughout the day today. Make sure you add Ottawa House Museum to your list of places to explore in 2023.

After the rain…

Apple blossoms!!! Lupines!!! Prunus padus, better known as Mayday… a little late but ever so welcome! …last but not least, a reminder that black flies don’t only bother humans. Thanks to a couple doses of Benadryl Teak’s eyes are all better tonight and the itch is gone! Take your insect repellent and make sure toContinue reading “After the rain…”

Blog Post #730

Yes, 730 is not a fictitious number I pulled from the air or my imagination. Today’s entry truly constitutes my 730th blog post, two complete years of posting every day! It all started out with a more contemplative theme. I would choose one or two images, add some personal thoughts, a haiku or I wouldContinue reading “Blog Post #730”

Looking for Drama in Your Landscape Photographs?

The Upper Bay of Fundy Shore line must top your bucket list! The varied coast line within the Cliffs of Fundy GeoPark is one of the most diverse areas to explore. Each beach offers walkable terrain and captivating subject matter. The images here are of the Clarke Head guided tour on offer through Tide RollersContinue reading “Looking for Drama in Your Landscape Photographs?”
