Please mark your calendars! You do not have to be a geologist to be amazed by the coastal cliffs and sea stacks at Clarke Head. The cliffs in places are contorted into improbable shapes like something from a Dr. Suess drawing, are faulted against one another, and contain unusual minerals and fossils.

Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season Officially Over for 2024
Nova Scotia has a Fifth Season? Absolutely! Sugaring Season is the time the maple sap runs and the syrup producers work long hours to filter and boil down the sap into liquid gold, otherwise known as maple syrup.

Wards Falls Woodland Hike
The trail to Wards Falls holds treasures to discover any time of the year. We were happy it wasn’t too muddy. The brook was gurgling gently as we navigated the trail of sixteen bridges, criss-crossing the woodland stream as it glistened in the sun. We even found some icicles in the shaded areas. There wereContinue reading “Wards Falls Woodland Hike”

Share-worthy: Kingdom of the Tide
I spent my morning in a choice spot along the Upper Bay of Fundy Minas Basin on the beach at Five Islands Provincial Park. After a stormy day and night the wind was easing up a little, enough that I could lean into it and not lose my footing.

Parrsboro’s First Beach at Low Tide
There wasn’t much time to get a walk in today. We are so fortunate here in Parrsboro that the beach is very accessible. It was a great day for finding sea glass and enjoying the view from the edge of the water before the tide pushed us back to high ground.
