It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!

After so much time in the kitchen and entertaining friends for the holidays I made sure to keep Boxing Day free! My invitation to like-minded friends was well-received: I had a full vehicle of people who were yearning to breathe in some fresh air, tromp through the woods and step onto a beach that hasContinue reading “It’s Boxing Day … and the Beach is Calling!”

Winter Solstice Blessings

Yesterday’s glorious sunset promised a beautiful day ahead. Well, Mother Nature had a different idea. We woke up to strong winds and grey sky. Friends who had expressed interest in participating in the hike decided against battling the elements. The fact that there is no such thing as bad weather when one has proper clothingContinue reading “Winter Solstice Blessings”

Winter Wind!

The weather predictions are real: it has been very windy all day, a typical pre-winter day with rain and wind. I couldn’t resist stopping at First Beach on the way home from appointments. Enjoy!

Annual Winter Solstice Hike

Join us for our second annual Winter Solstice hike to Clarke Head. This event is carefully timed to coincide with low tide and sunset on December 21st. Our destination is Clarke Head Arch where we will build a small solstice fire and share a hot beverage and seasonal home-made treats. There will be time toContinue reading “Annual Winter Solstice Hike”

Planning ahead…

My goal for tomorrow: Clarke Head. Working on getting my lung capacity back to where it was before I got sick mid-November. The cough is persistent and do very tiring! The tide for tomorrow is perfect for a mid-day hike on the beach.

Special Tour

After much planning, a couple cancellations due to sickness we finally got out to Soley Cove for a complimentary tour for Parrsboro Accommodation providers! I would love to post more images but Parrsboro and area has been without internet since Saturday morning… one picture is all I can manage to upload a day! Stay tunedContinue reading “Special Tour”

Thomas Cove Economy Loop Trail

After a quick hike around the Thomas Cove Economy Trail Loop we said good bye to our Saskatchewan friends today. This 4 km loop shows off some of the best the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark has to offer: lush woodlands contrasting against red sandstone cliffs. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Quick Excursion to Cape d’Or

We were so pleased to reconnect with our friends from Saskatchewan today. Susan and Brian are spending some time in Nova Scotia. Knowing how much they love to discover new landscapes we made the late afternoon decision to make a quick trip to Cape d’Or. The light and the cliffs did not disappoint!

Chasing Last Light…

High tide was relatively late in the day and I thought I had waited long enough to get a last minute beach excursion in. I decided on using the stairs to the Old Man sea stack but when I stepped onto the rocky beach I realized that I would have to scramble over the bouldersContinue reading “Chasing Last Light…”

The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Hike Challenge Badge…

…just claimed top position on the sleeve of my fleece hiking jacket! It arrived last week. Despite my excitement I could not muster the energy to sew the badge into place! I caught a nasty bug that had me down for the last five days. I am on the mend though: sewing on the badgeContinue reading “The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Hike Challenge Badge…”

Heeding the call…

…no words are necessary! As soon as I opened the car door the sound of the ocean drew me down the hidden path onto the vast beach… May your Thursday be full of energy like the crashing waves of the Bay of Fundy.
