A Picture Worth a Thousand Words…

Soley Cove Beach discovery: weathered tree root, covered in seaweed washed up on the sandbar…

Above and Below… Clarke Head Beach

Sharing a few more images from my Monday mid-day hike to Clarke Head. Enjoy, Anna

Moody Clarke Head…

There was a little rain, a little sun, wind and… solitude! Sharing images from my solitary, at times moody, low tide hike to Clarke Head. Enjoy! I certainly did.

Fall Colours…

…over the years: brought to you by my iPhone. This little video was compiled and suggested from my photo files today. Enjoy and Happy Sunday, everyone!

Last Minute Soley Cove Autumn Tour…

…with a sweet honeymoon couple! The request was for flowerpots… I think I delivered! Fabulous Friday morning low tide walk in October!

Five Islands Provincial Park Estuary Trail

It was one of those days: hours spent in front of the computer catching up on office stuff and correspondence called for some much needed time in nature. We decided on the Five Islands Provincial Park Estuary Loop, a well defined undulating trail through the woods with some small hills to get the heart rateContinue reading “Five Islands Provincial Park Estuary Trail”

Wait Five Minutes…

…and the weather will change! That was certainly true today! It was a glorious fall day with rain showers, a rainbow and some vivid autumn colours!

German Language Tour, My First!

There is a time for everything… this weekend I had a chance to share Soley Cove with visitors from Vienna. The rain held off and I dug deep into my memory for German terminology to do our Jurassic Coast line in the Upper Bay of Fundy justice. The tide was high and relatively slow inContinue reading “German Language Tour, My First!”

New-To-Me-Beach Hike

Yesterday morning started out full of magic… this was the view from my living room window. I was ready soon after to join my friend for a hike to a beach I had never explored. We drove to Advocate Harbour and parked at the foot of the “hump”, the bottom of where the road toContinue reading “New-To-Me-Beach Hike”

Thanksgiving Blessings

Post-tropical storm Phillipe gifted us with a window decoration this morning! Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving, Anna

Trail Scouting Day

We set out with the intention of hiking to Red Head Look-off in Five Islands Provincial Park only. The biggest reward was the way the cliff colours were illuminated just as we arrived at our destination. With the great weather we decided to hike through the campground and head toward the Estuary Trail, but notContinue reading “Trail Scouting Day”

Trail Scouting Expedition

I am leading a guided hike for Hike Nova Scotia on Saturday. Today was the day to check on the trail. There were no surprises along the beach leading to Partridge Island. The weather was spectacular and the trail was deserted. At the start of the trail the earth was wet and I had toContinue reading “Trail Scouting Expedition”

Fall Colours at That Dutchman’s Cheese Farm in Economy

Just had to share! We stopped at That Dutchman Cheese Farm for some supplies and these are the colours that greeted us. Nothing can make a mundane shopping trip more enticing than lush flower beds and autumnal reds… enjoy!

Witnessing the fog lift…

…from Ottawa House-by-the-Sea beach. It was a tranquil Friday morning. I didn’t have to share the beach with anyone. What a treat! There was only 15 minutes between the first and last image of Ottawa House. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing weekend so far!

Soley Cove With Explorers from B. C.

The weather could not have been more perfect for our Soley Cove Tour. The brief was for “red cliffs” and Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers delivered! I was able to throw in a few sea stacks for good measure… … and the reward were smiles all around
