The Cliffs are Disintegrating!
The annual scheduled birthday beach clean up with friends was cancelled due to the weather forecast. When I didn’t hear back from one of my out-of-town friends I decided to head to the beach and intercept him just in case. The road was wet! How wet? When the pine needles begin to form patterns youContinue reading “The Cliffs are Disintegrating!”
It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!
After so much time in the kitchen and entertaining friends for the holidays I made sure to keep Boxing Day free! My invitation to like-minded friends was well-received: I had a full vehicle of people who were yearning to breathe in some fresh air, tromp through the woods and step onto a beach that hasContinue reading “It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!”
Beach Treasures
And watching the wind create amazing patterns… Happy Friday, friends!
Winter Solstice Blessings
Yesterday’s glorious sunset promised a beautiful day ahead. Well, Mother Nature had a different idea. We woke up to strong winds and grey sky. Friends who had expressed interest in participating in the hike decided against battling the elements. The fact that there is no such thing as bad weather when one has proper clothingContinue reading “Winter Solstice Blessings”
Winter Wind!
The weather predictions are real: it has been very windy all day, a typical pre-winter day with rain and wind. I couldn’t resist stopping at First Beach on the way home from appointments. Enjoy!
Storm in the forecast
Monday’s forecast predicts storm activity. I love a good storm with great wave action… let’s see if I can capture some new video footage. Stay tuned!

Chasing Last Light…
High tide was relatively late in the day and I thought I had waited long enough to get a last minute beach excursion in. I decided on using the stairs to the Old Man sea stack but when I stepped onto the rocky beach I realized that I would have to scramble over the bouldersContinue reading “Chasing Last Light…”
Relentless…
A Summer Memory
Following the tide out in Soley Cove, Sept. 8th, 2023
Heeding the call…
…no words are necessary! As soon as I opened the car door the sound of the ocean drew me down the hidden path onto the vast beach… May your Thursday be full of energy like the crashing waves of the Bay of Fundy.
Rainy Days like today…
…make me peruse my summer memories. Today’s video is of the Five Islands Provincial Park Region featuring the Old Wife Formation at the start scanning toward Old Wife Rock and ending with Moose Island and the Five Islands Provincial Park cliffs. Always a favourite of mine!
The View from Cape Spencer
Tranquil moments while observing the receding tide at Cape Spencer just after noon. If you ever wondered how strong the currents are… this video might provide some insight!
Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island
It was my first time since Tropical Storm Lee had pounded our shoreline. And the changes I saw today were surprising. It really drove home the fact that the erosion of our shores is relentless. My goal this morning was to access the back beach at Partridge Island, it was the last day of veryContinue reading “Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island”
In the heat of the day…
…passing a shaded pool with moisture dripping from cave walls.
Hot and Humid Beach Hike: Summary in Three Videos
Soley Cove approximately 2 Hours and 15 minutes after high tide I started on familiar territory, the sandy, easy to navigate Soley Cove beach and finished at Five Islands Provincial Park Day-use Area. There was sand, red mud, seaweed hiding some quicksand-like sections that sucked my legs in to well above my ankles and, justContinue reading “Hot and Humid Beach Hike: Summary in Three Videos”
The final swirl…
…or, one more “Meeting of the Waters” immersion! Today was the last day for this moon phase to experience the incoming tide. It was also the last opportunity to actually stand on the ocean floor as the waters come together and swirl around our calves. With the next full moon the Bay of Fundy watersContinue reading “The final swirl…”
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!”
