What’s great about a return client is that she let me know which beaches she wanted to revisit. We started the day off with Horseshoe Cove, a favourite for collectors of Jasper. On the way home we stopped off at Wards Brook Beach. We timed it perfectly with the tide rolling in. Our brisk walkContinue reading “Rock Hound Excursion: Day 2”

First Client of the Season: Mission “Rockhound“
We met via Facebook last year: a prospective visitor the Parrsboro Shore looking for a guide to navigate the highest tides in the world! The official listed businesses she contacted didn’t respond, some FB comments suggested she better not plan on coming if she didn’t understand the tides… I sent a private Message and offeredContinue reading “First Client of the Season: Mission “Rockhound“”
Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends
It’s been a fabulous day here! One highlight was our personal “dance” lesson with “The Mistress of the Bay”, the mighty Bay of Fundy Tide. We set out about 45 minutes after low tide and experienced this beach a little different. None of us are slow walkers but we witnessed the water getting close toContinue reading “Easter Sunday Morning Hike to Clarke Head with Friends”
Yesterday…
…Mother Nature sent a message to remind us to stay humble. Snow and freezing rain created fleeting jewels on tree branches and beach treasures. The ice crust and icicles didn’t last long after I captured them in photos. Friday blessings Anna
Clarke Head Afternoon Hike
It was a quiet, contemplative excursion to Clarke Head this afternoon. We spent time examining rocks, discovering pyrite, admiring more sparkle on the water, walking among seaweed covered rocks and soaking in the spring breeze. Happy Monday! Best wishes for a productive week, Anna
Parrsboro…
We were fooled into believing that Old Man Winter had finally moved on yesterday! The water in the Aboiteau was so calm, the reflections clear. This was the view during our Wednesday morning walk… …here is a close up of reflections and shoreline. I will spare you an image of the swirling snow flakes fromContinue reading “Parrsboro…”
Blue Sac Road Beach Excursion
About 20 km from Parrsboro toward Five Islands the turnoff onto Blu Sac Road cannot be overlooked. It leads to a fantastic beach offering a panoramic view of the Five Islands, one of the best kept secrets around! I took my Wednesday afternoon hiking group to this beach today. The weather was perfect, the tideContinue reading “Blue Sac Road Beach Excursion”
Spring Time Golden Hours…
…are back! The light changes quickly and adds magic to the landscape and beaches of the Fundy Shore! Happy Monday, Anna
Hike Before the Storm…
A year ago this weekend I had to forego a planned hike as I had just been released from the hospital following an emergency appendectomy. I was pretty disappointed that I had to miss out on exploring one beach I had not scouted yet. Imagine how excited I was when an invitation for the sameContinue reading “Hike Before the Storm…”
Every Rock Has a Story…
I came across this photo yesterday. It popped up on my FaceBook memories and I realized that I made the image two years ago on my very first Clarke Head hike. I have fond memories of that day, I felt so adventurous to go on my solo excursion. When I stumbled upon this amazing rockContinue reading “Every Rock Has a Story…”
Clarke Head “Clear Your Head With a Friend” Hike
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”

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”
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”
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”
The Lone Goose…
She stood out, one leg tucked under to stay warm, balancing perfectly still on the ice in the Aboiteau. Such a sight to behold!
Snow Day Impressions…
More snow means a slow day at home and better conditions for a snowshoe excursion on Wednesday… I missed capturing the bald eagle circling overhead but one of the resident the crows posed for a quick photoshoot today. Hope your Monday was productive!
