Quick Afternoon Hike to Wards Falls with my Friend

It was a busy weekend! I am so glad to have been able to attend the 13th Annual Parrsboro Film Festival for the first time since moving here. What a fantastic event! The line up of feature length and short films was truly educational, thought-provoking and entertaining. My friend Kristi was in the area forContinue reading “Quick Afternoon Hike to Wards Falls with my Friend”

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

Shifting Season

Wednesday is NS Walks day in Parrsboro. Today was the first time that the air was cool enough that jackets or long sleeves were required. An afternoon woodland excursion reminded me that autumn is upon us…

Abundance!!!

It has been a stellar year for mushrooms! The rain, high humidity and warm temperatures created the perfect environment for various mushrooms. While I am only confident to pick three varieties for consumption I am busy preserving my last haul of close to 20 lbs (cleaned) chanterelles and Hydnum sp., otherwise known as hedgehogs. TheContinue reading “Abundance!!!”

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”

Spicer’s Cove is on the way to the Eatonville Day-use Area. I stopped here recently during a private tour for a visitor to the area and vowed to return soon. It’s Colin’s birthday today and we decided to meet up with a friend and take the pups to the beach. The colours and textures ofContinue reading “Spicer’s Cove in the Mist”

Bushwhacking the Economy Trail Loop at Thomas Cove

I had not been here in a little over three months and what a surprise we had. I always considered this trail easy to navigate. Yes, there are exposed roots and a few muddy sections to consider but overall I felt it was suitable for most abilities. My trail test subject today was Colin. WeContinue reading “Bushwhacking the Economy Trail Loop at Thomas Cove”

Once in a Blue Moon Low Tide Two Islands Tour

Today’s early morning, once in a lifetime tour was in the planning stages for the past six weeks. These clients contacted me after my debut on the “Keep Your Daydream” feature of Soley Cove. The request was “We are looking for an adventure!” “An adventure you shall have…” was my reply. And the suggestion ofContinue reading “Once in a Blue Moon Low Tide Two Islands Tour”

Three Trail Safety Checks

Glorious sunshine with mid-day high tides point to time in the forest! Hidden Falls had been calling me for months. The trailhead is located on Hwy 2 just past Prospect Road with a small parking area to safely pull your vehicle off the road while you enjoy time in the forest. Thanks to the wetContinue reading “Three Trail Safety Checks”

Yesterday’s rain cleared and a dry, pleasant day emerged this morning. It was perfect for an ocean floor excursion with first time visitors to Nova Scotia. My clients today hailed from Georgia and North Carolina. One client contacted me late yesterday. She had heard of me from friends I had shown the Parrsboro Shore fourContinue reading “Soley Cove Sunday Afternoon”
