Leaning…

…into the elements! There are a number of evergreens lining the Parrsboro shore. This particular specimen is located at the entrance to Brookville Beach. Due to the heavy rain in the general forecast for Saturday we had to cancel our guided hike. And once again, my weather app predicted for the heavy rain to arriveContinue reading “Leaning…”

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.

Rainy Days like today…

…make me peruse my summer memories. Today’s video is of the Five Islands Provincial Park Region featuring the Old Wife Formation at the start scanning toward Old Wife Rock and ending with Moose Island and the Five Islands Provincial Park cliffs. Always a favourite of mine!

Great Custom Tour with Clients from Alaska!

I just knew that an email ten days ago would bring very motivated clients my way! The brief requested a walk on the ocean floor and exploring dinosaurs! My initial hesitation centred around the fact that these best friends were arriving via cruise ship in Halifax and the logistics of getting them to the area.Continue reading “Great Custom Tour with Clients from Alaska!”

A Picture Worth a Thousand Words…

Moody Clarke Head…

There was a little rain, a little sun, wind and… solitude! Sharing images from my solitary, at times moody, low tide hike to Clarke Head. Enjoy! I certainly did.

Last Minute Soley Cove Autumn Tour…

…with a sweet honeymoon couple! The request was for flowerpots… I think I delivered! Fabulous Friday morning low tide walk in October!

New-To-Me-Beach Hike

Yesterday morning started out full of magic… this was the view from my living room window. I was ready soon after to join my friend for a hike to a beach I had never explored. We drove to Advocate Harbour and parked at the foot of the “hump”, the bottom of where the road toContinue reading “New-To-Me-Beach Hike”

The View from Cape Spencer

Tranquil moments while observing the receding tide at Cape Spencer just after noon. If you ever wondered how strong the currents are… this video might provide some insight!

Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island

It was my first time since Tropical Storm Lee had pounded our shoreline. And the changes I saw today were surprising. It really drove home the fact that the erosion of our shores is relentless. My goal this morning was to access the back beach at Partridge Island, it was the last day of veryContinue reading “Early Morning at the Foot of Partridge Island”

A New to Me Beach Near Sunset…

Autumnal equinox golden hour moments brought to you from Nova Scotia’s north shore! My exploration of Pictou County beaches continued. After a long day in a map and compass course which involved a fair amount of bushwhacking it was high time for some sandy beach walking.

Soley Cove With Explorers from B. C.

The weather could not have been more perfect for our Soley Cove Tour. The brief was for “red cliffs” and Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers delivered! I was able to throw in a few sea stacks for good measure… … and the reward were smiles all around

Waiting for Lee…

Hurricane Lee is steadily advancing. With most of our preparations completed I felt the need to head to the beach. I was amazed by the calm that awaited. Diligent River Beach was approaching low tide and the light was soft and magical. It had been a while since my last visit. I could barely believeContinue reading “Waiting for Lee…”

Soley Cove Solo Hike Turn Contemplative Photo Excursion

Two days ago I shared a summary of this hike in the form of three videos. I seldom get the opportunity to walk the ocean floor by myself these days. It was a magical time! I accessed the beach just two hours after high tide and as a result had several waits at various pinchContinue reading “Soley Cove Solo Hike Turn Contemplative Photo Excursion”
