Soley Cove Flower Pot

I will never forget the first time I set eyes on the Soley Cove Flower Pot. This was in November 2020. Since that first discovery the signs of erosion cannot be ignored. This important Minas Basin landmark is a sight to behold, whether you experience it on the ocean floor rising high above you orContinue reading “Soley Cove Flower Pot”

Earth Day 2024 Free Guided Hike

Please mark your calendars! You do not have to be a geologist to be amazed by the coastal cliffs and sea stacks at Clarke Head. The cliffs in places are contorted into improbable shapes like something from a Dr. Suess drawing, are faulted against one another, and contain unusual minerals and fossils. This particular stretchContinue reading “Earth Day 2024 Free Guided Hike”

Wards Falls Woodland Hike

The trail to Wards Falls holds treasures to discover any time of the year. We were happy it wasn’t too muddy. The brook was gurgling gently as we navigated the trail of sixteen bridges, criss-crossing the woodland stream as it glistened in the sun. We even found some icicles in the shaded areas. There wereContinue reading “Wards Falls Woodland Hike”

Crocus Time

Clarke Head in April

The day has been filled with typical April weather, sunshine and snow flurries, grey storm clouds and strong wind. Anne, Molly and I didn’t let the weather deter us from a brisk hike to Clarke Head. Thanks for joining me!

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.

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”
