Touring my Friend’s Garden

It’s always a treat to tour Liz’s garden. The way she has her property divided into individual “rooms” is truly inspiring! Her lilies beckoned and demanded my attention! I hope you enjoyed this little garden tour from the outskirts of Parrsboro! Wishing everyone a fabulous weekend, Anna

Family Treasure Hunting Tour Recap

As “they” say: a picture is worth a thousand words. We spent a productive four hours looking for beach treasures along Wasson’s Bluff and Two Island beaches. We found sea glass, mermaid tears, moon snail shells, agate, quartz, smooth pebbles and colourful rocks! We shared snacks, watched hermit crabs, identified the gender of invasive greenContinue reading “Family Treasure Hunting Tour Recap”

Prep Day!

Every once in a while you get a challenge that is all-consuming! I spent the day getting ready for a special beach treasure hunt tour with a young family from Toronto tomorrow! The Fundy Geological Museum passed my name on three weeks ago suggesting I might be able to take two young girls (7 andContinue reading “Prep Day!”

In the Footsteps of the Dinosaurs at Wasson’s Bluff & Two Islands

Gillespie House B&B guests tore themselves away from these gorgeous grounds to explore the geology along two well-known and popular beaches along the Parrsboro Shore. Four hours well spent looking for rocks, crabs, hermit crabs and watching the tide rise around Eagle Island! We had mist, fog and even some rain which meant the newContinue reading “In the Footsteps of the Dinosaurs at Wasson’s Bluff & Two Islands”

Shrouded in Mist…

Another RDF (rain-drizzle-fog) kinda day! I won’t keep me from heading to Clarke Head… Hope the sun shines wherever you are! Have a fantastic day, Anna

Last Minute Soley Cove Photo Tour

I just love when my schedule allows for a last minute tour booking, as happed this morning. The text from The Pleasant Street Inn arrived at 8:15 pm inquiring if I was free. I had a morning commitment and knew the tide wasn’t favourable to do an ocean floor tour till later in the day.Continue reading “Last Minute Soley Cove Photo Tour”

Exploring the Carboniferous Age Cliffs on a Hot July Day

I had cleared all commitments from my calendar, met my deadlines and with a day at my disposal decided to tackle a hike on my bucket list, East Bay to West Bay starting near Partridge Island. My starting time was 2.5 hours after high tide which ensured that any possible punch point would be clear.Continue reading “Exploring the Carboniferous Age Cliffs on a Hot July Day”

The Meeting of the Waters: Cat Bird Seat to Experiencing Tidal Force

Visitors to the Bay of Fundy’s Minas Basin usually hear about “The Highest Tides in the World” but unless one witnesses the tidal bore forging up a river, the incoming tidal speed, force and volume of water remains an abstract idea. In Parrsboro we are very fortunate because there is one beach where one gainsContinue reading “The Meeting of the Waters: Cat Bird Seat to Experiencing Tidal Force”

Misty Morning Beach Hike to Clarke Head

The mist didn’t deter visitors to Parrsboro from a post breakfast guided tour. “I’m happy!” and “We would have never explored this beach on our own!” were just two of the enthusiastic comments I overheard while walking below the 200 Million year old cliffs. Springer spaniel Angie was in her element: in and out ofContinue reading “Misty Morning Beach Hike to Clarke Head”

Lobster Boil in the Rain?

When you have a confirmed booking for a lobster boil you can’t let rain get in the way. The Pleasant Street Inn received a request for my services along with a room reservation some time ago. We were watching the weather carefully for days and it looked promising for tonight. The rain was supposed toContinue reading “Lobster Boil in the Rain?”

Check out this Video!

Remember the travel influencer family known as “Keep Your Day Dream” from Florida? Tricia, Marc, Caleb and I spent an afternoon together exploring Soley Cove on June 17th. Their video featuring the Parrsboro area dropped on YouTube last night. Click here to check it out. Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers shows up at roughly minute 8Continue reading “Check out this Video!”

Just a reminder that lobster season is over at the end of July. I have limited dates still available for a rustic lobster boil for up to 8 people. Your backyard or the beach? $ 39/person (minimum 48 hours notice). L obster boil includes: 1 lobster (at least 1.5 lbs) per person, home-baked crusty sourdoughContinue reading “Lobster Season”

Soley Cove Photo Tour

Guiding a tour in Soley Cove is always a highlight in my schedule. Leading a photo tour is even more special because I get to don my photographer’s hat and view the cliffs through a different lens. J. and L. contacted me from their home in Alberta several weeks ago to inquire about the availabilityContinue reading “Soley Cove Photo Tour”

Welcoming the Summer Solstice…

A small group embarked on the long-anticipated special Summer Solstice hike to Clarke Head tonight! It was a compatible group of women, conversation flowed easily over the driftwood fire, tea and home-baked goodies. Sunset was at 9:07 pm as we headed back to our starting point. We were treated to the most magical light asContinue reading “Welcoming the Summer Solstice…”

Monday… a day to plan and collaborate!

I just picked some random photos from yesterday as today was one of those rare days where I didn’t make it to the beach. Instead I spent a good amount of time in meetings to plan some special tours and events for fall and winter. It’s never too early to get organized! I am inContinue reading “Monday… a day to plan and collaborate!”
