Heritage/Family Day Friendship Hike

Watch out: if you are a newcomer to our shore I might nab you and drag you to one of my favourite places… Clarke Head! Despite the early morning snow fall and strong wind that started up around the time we set out for the beach hike, we forged ahead. Following the tide out weContinue reading “Heritage/Family Day Friendship Hike”

A Day of Firsts…

Yesterday was the first day of the Lunar New Year. When I let the pups out into the backyard in the morning I spotted four quarters on the deck banister and I considered it a good omen. It turns out they were left there last weekend in four inches of snow when a friend feltContinue reading “A Day of Firsts…”

Happy Lunar New Year!

I went to the beach and just about the time I was ready to leave I met my very own dragon! May this be a prosperous year for all of us!

I just knew it…

…when I roamed the beach last week with the winter storm in the forecast… I deliberately “collected” these treasures along the way! Enjoy!

Celebrating Imbolc: Clarke Head Hike

Imbolc commemorates the return of light. I decided on a solitary hike to one of my favourite destinations, the natural stone arch at Clarke Head. It had been exactly one month since I visited last and the changes along the beach were noticeable. Large rocks had been deposited that were not there before, erosion andContinue reading “Celebrating Imbolc: Clarke Head Hike”

Snow-covered Trails through the Woods and to the Beach

Two weeks ago I explored this trail when it looked completely different. After some decent snow accumulation I set out again today and discovered a winter wonderland. The bonus was the receding tide which revealed a stunning shale beach. Enjoy the images, happy Saturday!

Group outing to Phinney Green

What happens when the call for a group hike generates this much interest? It provides me with the confirmation that I am able to fill a need in the Parrsboro area. Each Wednesday hike has seen our group growing larger! What a way to fill Wednesday afternoons! Sharing my passion for the Cliffs of FundyContinue reading “Group outing to Phinney Green”

Happy New Year, one and all!!

We woke up to the best news from Germany! Meet Louis, our grand-nephew, and our very own New Year’s baby in the family. He ignored all the due-date estimations and followed through on my prediction of arriving on January 1st.🎉🎉🎉 I started the year out fulfilling a promise to myself: my annual pilgrimage to ClarkeContinue reading “Happy New Year, one and all!!”

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”

Two more sleeps…

…until the guided Winter Solstice Hike to Clarke Head. At this time there are no registrations. It does not deter me. I am packing and getting ready. I recently invested in some audio visual accessories to capture video of my hike destinations. No matter whether I hike solo on Thursday or others join me atContinue reading “Two more sleeps…”

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”

Soley Cove on a Sunday Morning

Our internet was restored a short while ago and I can finally post the great photos from the Soley Cove excursion yesterday morning. It was my pleasure to take the new owners of the Parrsboro Mansion on a complimentary ocean floor tour. We had planned this outing for several weeks. Yesterday everything was perfect: theContinue reading “Soley Cove on a Sunday Morning”

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”

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…”

Red Cliffs along the Cliffs of Fundy Global UNESCO Geopark

So many beaches, each unique and awe inspiring!
