Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers Special Feature!

I already posted about Sylvie Mazerolle last week after spending and evening chasing the sunset and a full day during summer Solstice. Sylvie only lives 90 minutes from Parrsboro but she had no idea what she would discover here… Sylvie, the wordsmith and photographer, tells the story here: https://sylviemazerolle.com/blog/the-best-hidden-gem-in-nova-scotia-part-2 A feast for the eyes andContinue reading “Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers Special Feature!”

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.

HerContinue reading “Whirlwind Week of Touring!”

TheContinue reading “Five Islands Provincial Park and Soley Cove – in less than 18 hours”

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”

Night in the Forest

I am back in Lower Sackville this weekend for my Advanced Wilderness First Aid Module.

Here is to sleeping soundlyContinue reading “Night in the Forest”
