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”

Soley Cove Solo Hike Turn Contemplative Photo Excursion
Two days ago I shared a summary of this hike in the form of three videos. I seldom get the opportunity to walk the ocean floor by myself these days. It was a magical time! I accessed the beach just two hours after high tide and as a result had several waits at various pinchContinue reading “Soley Cove Solo Hike Turn Contemplative Photo Excursion”
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”
Bushwhacking the Economy Trail Loop at Thomas Cove
I had not been here in a little over three months and what a surprise we had. I always considered this trail easy to navigate. Yes, there are exposed roots and a few muddy sections to consider but overall I felt it was suitable for most abilities. My trail test subject today was Colin. WeContinue reading “Bushwhacking the Economy Trail Loop at Thomas Cove”
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…”
Soley Cove at Early Light!
This week has been fantastic for early light tours! My clients from Michigan booked this tour after seeing the “Keep You Daydream” video feature of the tour I conducted. Who could have known that the mid-June excursion with Tricia, Marc and Caleb would generate so much interest in a short amount of time? We arrivedContinue reading “Soley Cove at Early Light!”
Can’t Get Enough: Meeting of the Waters, Take Two!

The Meeting of the Waters came up and we quicklyContinue reading “Can’t Get Enough: Meeting of the Waters, Take Two!”

Three Trail Safety Checks
Glorious sunshine with mid-day high tides point to time in the forest! Hidden Falls had been calling me for months. The trailhead is located on Hwy 2 just past Prospect Road with a small parking area to safely pull your vehicle off the road while you enjoy time in the forest. Thanks to the wetContinue reading “Three Trail Safety Checks”
Soley Cove Sunday Afternoon

Oh light, glorious light…
I never grow tired of wandering on the ocean floor at Soley Cove. I have conducted four separate tours there over the past seven days.

TourContinue reading “Oh light, glorious light…”
All it takes is an invitation…
…for Nova Scotia’s Wandering Wilsons to come to Parrsboro. Heidi from Pleasant Street Inn extended the invite, provided a stack of local information and the Wandering Wilsons rolled into town for the weekend. It was my turn to shine after Sunday lunch. We met up at Soley Cove for a family tour. The rain ponchosContinue reading “All it takes is an invitation…”
Dramatic Landscape after another Downpour…
What a fantastic multi-generational family group to show around our stunning area. The request was for a walk on the ocean floor. It met with their expectations! And I was so relieved that the rain ponchos I invested in were very helpful during the initial rain showers. This well travelled group from Florida and RhodeContinue reading “Dramatic Landscape after another Downpour…”
Close to home…

In conjunction with the launchContinue reading “Close to home…”
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!”
