A last minute invitation to join a friend and her out-of -town visitor for “a couple of hours” at Soley Cove turned into a fantastic day on my favourite stretch of Minas Basin ocean floor. The morning was grey and misty… but we easily ignored it as soon as we stepped onto the beach. WeContinue reading “Soley Cove in November”

Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail
Familiarization of Cliffs of Fundy Geopark sites is high on my list of priorities. Last Tuesday the opportunity presented itself to visit and explore a destination I had on my bucket list for some time. I took Exit 13 on the Trans-Canada, turned my wheels toward the Debert Industrial Park and headed toward the parkingContinue reading “Mi’kmawey Debert Interpretive Trail”
Economy Falls
A visit to Economy Falls has been on my agenda for nearly four years. Between washed out, nearly impassable roads, a crazy schedule and lack of interest from hiking friends it took this much time to finally get to the long anticipated destination. Currently the River Philip Road is a well-maintained gravel logging road. ItContinue reading “Economy Falls”
Thanksgiving Photography Retreat…
Sylvie Mazerolle and I connected in late June and the idea of a photography retreat in the area crystallized. I had the distinct pleasure to guide this dynamic group of hardy women with cameras last Saturday! The following images and movie clips tell a better story than words. Enjoy! From Port Greville to Spencer’s Island,Continue reading “Thanksgiving Photography Retreat…”

Foraging Weekend!
For the first time this month I had the weekend off. The weather has been stellar and the tides were favourable for replenishing our dulse stash. Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an edible seaweed rich in nutrients and popular among maritimers. Every community boats that they have THE best dulse and with prices online of aroundContinue reading “Foraging Weekend!”
Busiest Tour Schedule To Date!
The last ten days have been the busiest and most rewarding this summer. Some days I could have split myself into thirds to accommodate the tour requests. I hate to disappoint anyone interested in a guided tour experience but those clients who registered well in advance reaped the benefits of being organized. It was aContinue reading “Busiest Tour Schedule To Date!”
Driving Tour, Anyone?
When clients request to see as many special beaches as possible while also witnessing tidal changes we have no problem delivering! We started out at 7:30 am and returned at 5:30 pm with huge smiles! My family from Regina, SK communicated their objectives during the winter while planning their Maritime holiday. It was a realContinue reading “Driving Tour, Anyone?”
“Worth Getting Up Early…”
…those were Dan’s words this morning as we explored the beach to Clarke Head Arch. Thanks to Kelly and Dan for booking their tour with Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers today.
Heeding the Call…
…from Tourism Nova Scotia! When an email arrived to inquire if I had August 2nd available to show two German travel photographers and writers around our fabulous area I was happy to reply with a resounding YES! It was a long day (touring and speaking German) but I think these two well-travelled young individuals recognizedContinue reading “Heeding the Call…”

Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!
I had a return tour participant today and we ventured out to Soley Cove. With numerous Five Islands Provincial Park Tours Soley Cove warranted a special private tour. I was shocked by the signs of extreme erosion after last Thursday’s heavy downpour. It had caused severe flooding, major damage and one death across the BayContinue reading “Witness to Erosion and Celebrating the Return of the Soley Cove Waterfalls!”
Foggy Summer Mornings…

Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers Special Feature!

Whirlwind Week of Touring!
My best intentions of keeping the blog up-to-date 2 to 3 times a week have been quickly derailed this week. My tour schedule heated up with the weather and I focussed on providing great experiences for clients from near and far. Last Sunday I had the pleasure of spending time with Angela from Maine. HerContinue reading “Whirlwind Week of Touring!”
