On the spur of the moment my friend Lori and I decided to head to Clarke Head as the tide rushed out late afternoon Tuesday. It was the perfect ending to a busy day. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing Thursday evening. We are safely tucked in with Old MannWinter holding on and gifting usContinue reading “Clarke Head “Clear Your Head With a Friend” Hike”

Two Visits to the Sugar Bush in Fenwick in Two Days!
Fenwick Sugar Bush is a destination worthwhile! I took two groups there over the past two days! Thompson’s is a smaller family business. They tap 3,000 maples for the season and their recent speciality is a small production run of bourbon infused maple syrup. It leaves you wanting more…😊 Ripley’s Sugar Camp produces their mapleContinue reading “Two Visits to the Sugar Bush in Fenwick in Two Days!”

First Time Visitors to Soley Cove
Spring arrived accompanied by strong winds today. It was the only day that worked to fit a Soley Cove excursion into the schedule. The ancient landscape never disappoints! The light was variable and yielded some unusual and unexpected images. Once again, Soley Cove spread its magic and my tour participants were truly impressed by theContinue reading “First Time Visitors to Soley Cove”
Moody Thomas Cove
It was high time for a return to Thomas Cove in Lower Economy. The entrance to Economy Point Road is off Hwy 209 past the Cliffs of Fundy Welcome Centre in Economy toward Truro, a 35 minute drive from Parrsboro. The last time I visited was nearly two years ago in June. Today we wereContinue reading “Moody Thomas Cove”
More Sights to Explore at Low Tide
I have not posted about the Parrsboro Golf Club before. It’s high time to point out that this nine hole course is considered challenging and one of the most scenic courses in Canada. It is located on Two Islands Road approximately 3 km from the centre of town. I shall be back for more imagesContinue reading “More Sights to Explore at Low Tide”
Tour Day: Parrsboro to Advocate and Back
The sun returned today and set the stage for a fabulous day to explore the area with visitors. Our first stop was in West Advocate where we strolled along Driftwood Beach and admired Red Rocks at the Cape Chignecto Park entrance from afar. Thank goodness for four-wheel drive. The approach to Cape d’Or, our nextContinue reading “Tour Day: Parrsboro to Advocate and Back”
Diligent River Beach in the Mist
Diligent River Beach makes for a fantastic low tide destination in any weather. After exploring it in sunshine just two days ago I returned with two hiking friends this afternoon. The rain held off till we were almost back at the car. From the warf to the Ramshead River the return distance is roughly 5Continue reading “Diligent River Beach in the Mist”
Waiting Out The Storm
It’s mid-March and we are looking at “sideways snow” outside our windows. Once the wind picked up this afternoon I could no longer ignore the fact that Old Man Winter isn’t quite done with us yet. Perhaps reviewing some of the recent beach ice images will lift everyone’s spirit.😊 Enjoy the rest of your day,Continue reading “Waiting Out The Storm”
Diligent River Low Tide Exploration in Sunshine
Diligent River is a great place to explore in any weather and season. Today I arrived precisely at low tide with glorious sunshine overhead and I was able to take advantage of the full expanse of the beach. Even the Ramshead River was so low that if I had worn rubber boots I could haveContinue reading “Diligent River Low Tide Exploration in Sunshine”
Sunday Hike Adventure
The plan was to hike along the beach from Red Rocks to Refugee Cove, depending on the cooperation of the tide. Well, let’s just say “The Mistress of the Bay”, as my friend calls the Bay of Fundy tide, was not in the mood for a waltz or Foxtrott today. We made good time toContinue reading “Sunday Hike Adventure”
Another Backroad Exploration: Little Dyke Road the Glenholme Marsh Road
The sun was out today which made our drive to Truro very pleasant. Once again we decided to find out where some of the less travelled side roads might lead and we were not disappointed. The most pleasant surprise awaited when we turned onto Little Dyke Road. After a short distance through wooded terrain weContinue reading “Another Backroad Exploration: Little Dyke Road the Glenholme Marsh Road”
Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers: Excitement is Building!!
I have been spending a bit too much time in the office lately. Getting ready for tourist season is exciting but looking at so many hike destination images I yearn for some much needed outdoor time. And yet it’s important that all necessary steps are taken to ensure safety measures are in place, insurance policyContinue reading “Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers: Excitement is Building!!”

Bookings are already coming in. Reserve your tours early to avoid disappointment. Looking forward to hearing from you, Anna
Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM
The Wednesday afternoon Parrsboro hiking group was small today. We set out in conditions fluctuating between rain and snow. The weather did not know which way to swing which presented us with sticky snow conditions on the trail. It was quite different from the winter wonderland we experienced last Friday. The ice was rapidly meltingContinue reading “Chasing Diamonds at the Old Parrsboro DAM”
Destination: Brookville Rock
Take a lazy Sunday filled with sunshine, mix it up with the idea of a beach walk and head out. We landed in Wards Brook and once we carefully navigated around the boulder break water barrier we were rewarded with great beach sounds and vistas. The cliffs along this particular beach differ greatly from theContinue reading “Destination: Brookville Rock”
Snowshoe Excursion to the Parrsboro Dam
We woke up to a nice amount of snow that accumulated over night. My Garden Buddha was wearing a tall hat this morning, an excellent indication that it was time for the long-awaited snowshoe to the old dam! The distance from where we parked is not far. We broke the trail but it isn’t anContinue reading “Snowshoe Excursion to the Parrsboro Dam”
Driving down an unknown road…
… and arriving at a fabulous hidden beach complete with…ice cakes! They were spectacular! Hope your day was filled with great surprises, Anna
Morning Photo Excursion at -18 C: Destination Clarke Head
The beach was calling… I decided to chase the tide out early and my camera got a great workout. A picture is worth a thousand words, so I will not bore you with my writing when my pictures are so much more powerful. Our winter has not yielded many ice cakes along the shore thisContinue reading “Morning Photo Excursion at -18 C: Destination Clarke Head”
Photographer’s Dream Tour: Soley Cove
A low tide hike from Soley Cove to Redhead is memorable and worthwhile in any season. Yesterday was perfect! After the previous night’s dusting of snow we were rewarded with azure sky dotted with puffy clouds… and a stiff breeze! Nothing windproof clothing can’t deal with effectively. The afternoon light on a winter day bringsContinue reading “Photographer’s Dream Tour: Soley Cove”
