Waiting for Lee…

Hurricane Lee is steadily advancing. With most of our preparations completed I felt the need to head to the beach. I was amazed by the calm that awaited. Diligent River Beach was approaching low tide and the light was soft and magical. It had been a while since my last visit. I could barely believeContinue reading “Waiting for Lee…”

Drama in the Sky around Clarke Head

We are preparing for the arrival of Hurricane Lee. There is only so much one can do, eventually you sit back and wait. My way to get ready is to head to the beach to survey and anticipate changes. I was treated to some stunning textures in the sky that seemed to intensify the coloursContinue reading “Drama in the Sky around Clarke Head”

Soley Cove Solo Hike Turn Contemplative Photo Excursion

Two days ago I shared a summary of this hike in the form of three videos. I seldom get the opportunity to walk the ocean floor by myself these days. It was a magical time! I accessed the beach just two hours after high tide and as a result had several waits at various pinchContinue reading “Soley Cove Solo Hike Turn Contemplative Photo Excursion”

Spicer’s Cove in the Mist

Spicer’s Cove is on the way to the Eatonville Day-use Area. I stopped here recently during a private tour for a visitor to the area and vowed to return soon. It’s Colin’s birthday today and we decided to meet up with a friend and take the pups to the beach. The colours and textures ofContinue reading “Spicer’s Cove in the Mist”

Bushwhacking the Economy Trail Loop at Thomas Cove

I had not been here in a little over three months and what a surprise we had. I always considered this trail easy to navigate. Yes, there are exposed roots and a few muddy sections to consider but overall I felt it was suitable for most abilities. My trail test subject today was Colin. WeContinue reading “Bushwhacking the Economy Trail Loop at Thomas Cove”

Can’t Get Enough: Meeting of the Waters, Take Two!

Last night at Ottawa House Story Time I met Becky and her mom who were travelling together from south of the border. While we chatted I mentioned that they are here during the Super Moon and that the tides are very high at the moment. The Meeting of the Waters came up and we quicklyContinue reading “Can’t Get Enough: Meeting of the Waters, Take Two!”

Once in a Blue Moon Low Tide Two Islands Tour

Today’s early morning, once in a lifetime tour was in the planning stages for the past six weeks. These clients contacted me after my debut on the “Keep Your Daydream” feature of Soley Cove. The request was “We are looking for an adventure!” “An adventure you shall have…” was my reply. And the suggestion ofContinue reading “Once in a Blue Moon Low Tide Two Islands Tour”

Custom Tour: Parrsboro to Eatonville and back!

We started out in Parrsboro with a quick stop at the Bubbling Tides near Partridge Island, a sight to behold! Our destination was the Eatonville Day-use Area where we explored the Three Sisters Loop. Views of rugged cliffs, Anderson Cove, Sea Pillars, the site of the old Eatonville settlement and harbour and finally the ThreeContinue reading “Custom Tour: Parrsboro to Eatonville and back!”

Soley Cove Sunday Afternoon

Yesterday’s rain cleared and a dry, pleasant day emerged this morning. It was perfect for an ocean floor excursion with first time visitors to Nova Scotia. My clients today hailed from Georgia and North Carolina. One client contacted me late yesterday. She had heard of me from friends I had shown the Parrsboro Shore fourContinue reading “Soley Cove Sunday Afternoon”

All in a Day’s Hike: Red Rocks to Refugee Cove and Back

22.2 km in 9.5 hours spent with like-minded people on the trail is pretty much a perfect Friday! Brian had volunteered to pick up a tent for someone and Heather and I took up his invitation to join him. The weather was great! And the company could not have been more pleasant. It was notContinue reading “All in a Day’s Hike: Red Rocks to Refugee Cove and Back”

Saturday Morning Hike: Clarke Head and Beyond

Clarke Head was calling! And after the rain stopped during the night I knew I could get a quick hike in to my favourite local destination! While I don’t mind sharing time with others heading to Clarke Head I welcomed the vast deserted beach and set out following the high tide line. I soon spottedContinue reading “Saturday Morning Hike: Clarke Head and Beyond”

Oh light, glorious light…

I never grow tired of wandering on the ocean floor at Soley Cove. I have conducted four separate tours there over the past seven days. After Sunday afternoon’s rainy experience today’s excursion topped all previous tours! We started our excursion two hours after high tide and were treated to stunning skies and ever-changing light. TourContinue reading “Oh light, glorious light…”

All it takes is an invitation…

…for Nova Scotia’s Wandering Wilsons to come to Parrsboro. Heidi from Pleasant Street Inn extended the invite, provided a stack of local information and the Wandering Wilsons rolled into town for the weekend. It was my turn to shine after Sunday lunch. We met up at Soley Cove for a family tour. The rain ponchosContinue reading “All it takes is an invitation…”

The most wonderful time of the year…

…it’s foraging time!!! Blueberries are ripe and the chanterelle’s are flushing! We gathered all these during our three hour foraging excursion and managed to fill six pint containers of blueberries! It’s only the beginning… The images here were gathered just because! I left these, mostly poisonous, mushrooms where I found them. The pictures I uploadedContinue reading “The most wonderful time of the year…”

Dramatic Landscape after another Downpour…

What a fantastic multi-generational family group to show around our stunning area. The request was for a walk on the ocean floor. It met with their expectations! And I was so relieved that the rain ponchos I invested in were very helpful during the initial rain showers. This well travelled group from Florida and RhodeContinue reading “Dramatic Landscape after another Downpour…”
