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…

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!”

Five Islands Provincial Park and Soley Cove – in less than 18 hours
Thanks to three interested women and their canine companions the season kick off at Five Islands Provincial Park was a success. We ventured along the beach toward Old Wife Rock, chatted about the fault line where Jurassic meets Triassic era, sandstone cliffs, erosion, columnar basalt and we carefully observed the endangered Mud Piddock ponds. TheContinue reading “Five Islands Provincial Park and Soley Cove – in less than 18 hours”

Leake Lake, Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Site
The fog lifted around the time my Wednesday walk group gathered. By lunch time the sky was bright blue and my friend Deena and I took our e-bikes out for our first ride of the season. Leake Lake was the perfect destination for a first outing. This small kettle lake is a popular hangout duringContinue reading “Leake Lake, Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Site”

…Bay of Fundy: Wind and Waves.
Looking for Treasures…
I enjoyed this Sunday morning tour with Deb and her grandson studying rocks and minerals around Partridge Island. Deb had contacted me a few weeks ago to see if I would accommodate them for a treasure hunt. The tides were favourable. We explored the weir, the beach, columnar basalt cliffs and spent time warming upContinue reading “Looking for Treasures…”
Tour Preparations continued
Part of my tour supplies are Fundy Jewels, a high protein, nutritious, gluten-free, vegan energy bite. I first introduced them to the Keep Your Daydream folks. Since then I have refined and further enhanced the initial recipe. Packed with ingredients like wild blueberries, Cumberland County maple syrup and switching from peanut butter to almond butterContinue reading “Tour Preparations continued”
Evergreen Content
“Evergreen Content” is a term we have all heard before, especially bloggers who have been at it for a while. I began blogging as part of the various websites I have created and maintained since 2008. I began FundyContemplations as a daily blog site on June 1st, 2021, long before I entertained the idea ofContinue reading “Evergreen Content”
Patterns Created by Wind and Waves
Anyone who has followed my blog for a while knows how much I love the ever-changing landscape. The tides present new surprises every time the beach emerges. Enjoy the offerings today!
Phinney Green on Victoria Day…
