On the positive side, there was some great news I had been waiting for from the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark: the Board approved the proposal for a Hike Nova Scotia Challenge Badge!

Of Eagles and Herons…
I spent most of the day at Soley Cove with two adventurers today. While I captured more great images of Jurassic Aeolian Sandstone cliffs and sea stacks what truly demanded my attention was the performance the Bald Eagles put on for us. We counted three individual adults and one juvenile taking advantage of the warmContinue reading “Of Eagles and Herons…”
Spencer’s Island: So much to Enjoy and Discover
I have featured Spencer’s Island Beach on this platform previously. Each time I venture to this beach I experience a distinct holiday feeling, the way I used to get during my childhood and youth when our parents took us to Italy. In the past I concentrated on the beach, it’s colourful rocks, sand dollars andContinue reading “Spencer’s Island: So much to Enjoy and Discover”
Between Heaven and Earth: Textures, Textures Everywhere!
The intention was to get some fresh air at Partridge Island Beach. The reward was the most fantastic sky. But wait, turning toward Crane Bluff we experienced textured colour of a different kind… On the way back to the car we stumbled across this fabulous driftwood log. It was too good not to spend someContinue reading “Between Heaven and Earth: Textures, Textures Everywhere!”
Immersed in Bay of Fundy Tidal Action: Meeting of the Waters
Today was the first opportunity this summer to experience the incoming tide and feel the water rising from my ankles to just above my knees in 30 seconds. We were not disappointed by the action of water swirling around Big Island. It’s always a fantastic experience… the water was warm and the experience most therapeutic.Continue reading “Immersed in Bay of Fundy Tidal Action: Meeting of the Waters”

To The Far Side of Partridge Island We Ventured…
August 4th had been circled in red on my calendar for weeks! My tide app informed me that it would be THE day for the lowest tide during the Sturgeon Super Moon phase. I knew then where I would spend the morning hours. When one reaches the end of the natural gravel path with theContinue reading “To The Far Side of Partridge Island We Ventured…”
Phinney Green in Evening Light…

Custom Variety Tour a Success!
It’s always a great day when a pre-booked tour turns out even better than expected! The Meeting of the Waters Tour was what alerted this family to my offerings.

Edgett’s Beach at High Tide
Edgett’s Beach is located in West Apple River near the Eatonville Day Use Area. We decided to go on a drive this afternoon and as we neared Advocate Harbour fog rolled in from the Bay of Fundy.

Epic Lobster Boil at the Beach
Last evening’s lobster boil was scheduled to take place at the beach. I was glad I selected Partridge Island Beach with a couple shelters over the picnic table.

Gillespie House B&B guests tore themselves away from these gorgeous grounds to explore the geology along two well-known and popular beaches along the Parrsboro Shore.
