Two Islands Beach Easter Sunday Walk

When the sun finally made an appearance after three solid days of rain it was time to finally head to the beach! I arrived just as the tide was turning. There was still plenty of time left to explore. Best of all: the beach was mine, not another soul in sight! It was my firstContinue reading “Two Islands Beach Easter Sunday Walk”

Share-worthy: Kingdom of the Tide

I spent my morning in a choice spot along the Upper Bay of Fundy Minas Basin on the beach at Five Islands Provincial Park. After a stormy day and night the wind was easing up a little, enough that I could lean into it and not lose my footing. I tried to capture the forceContinue reading “Share-worthy: Kingdom of the Tide”

Rock Faces

No matter where we venture along the Upper Bay of Fundy Shore faces in the rocks are all around us. Join us on one of our custom tours to look for ancient faces in the geology.

Soley Cove: Delight for Newbie and Repeat Hiker Alike

The sun accompanied these keen hikers for our special Wednesday afternoon outing today. Not many words are necessary to show how much the group enjoyed their time!

Cape Spencer: A Hike Through All Seasons

Sharing a lesser known hike destination as a birthday gift was on the agenda today. Through the seven hour outing we enjoyed cloudy conditions, light rain, bright sunshine, azure sky dotted with clouds and snow.

Wednesday Afternoon Hike Series…

… free to all Parrsboro Shore citizens is a programme in its second year. I offer these from January through the end of March and this year these hikes have been exceptionally well attended. Yesterday we ventured to Fox Point Beach. Easy to get to and an easy hike. There was no lack of interestingContinue reading “Wednesday Afternoon Hike Series…”

Rainy Day Beach Adventure

We didn’t let a little rain get us down or abandon a mid-day low tide hike to Clarke Head. Days like these ensure deserted beaches… We hiked in steady drizzle but with layers of wool and a rain shell we stayed warm and toasty. Another amazing hike to my favourite spot in Parrsboro! Happy Sunday,Continue reading “Rainy Day Beach Adventure”

The Photographer’s Eye Never Closes…

Our Saturday morning walk led to the beach. It has been a while since I walked from Parrsboro’s First Beach to the beach below Glooscap Campground. The wind held off and the cliffs glowed in the morning sun illuminating the icicles oozing from the rocks.

Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville: A Photographer’s Destination

Rain in the forecast kept away my regular Wednesday afternoon hikers. My trusty friend Gaby and her dog Enya were not deterred. We keep saying: “ We are not made of sugar… a little rain won’t melt us!” The tide was nearing its highest mark and the wave action was exhilarating. We hiked all theContinue reading “Cochrane Road Beach in Port Greville: A Photographer’s Destination”

Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light

On a whim my friend and I headed out to Soley Cove. Anne had never been, so I was keen on showing her this stretch of the Jurassic Coast line in the Upper Bay of Fundy. The sky was overcast and the diffused sunlight showcased the red sandstone cliffs to their best advantage. With longContinue reading “Soley Cove – Icicles and Magical Winter Light”

Wednesdays Along the Parrsboro Shore: walk in the a. m. – hike in the p. m.

Wednesdays in Parrsboro during winter months are never without an outdoor opportunity! We walk in the morning (two differently paced groups) and we explore beaches and woodlands during the afternoon! Today’s afternoon excursion in the sun led us to Wards Brook Beach, the Brookville Formation and beyond. Soaking in the sunshine, a relaxing cuppa andContinue reading “Wednesdays Along the Parrsboro Shore: walk in the a. m. – hike in the p. m.”
