An Anniversary to Remember!

There is no better way to celebrate 50 years together than experiencing the Meeting of the Waters! This lovely couple enjoyed every moment of their ocean floor excursion. ♥️

Family Fun Times in Parrsboro!!!

When family gets together around the full moon… from lobster boil to the Meeting of the Waters: a great time was had by all! Thanks for letting Tide Rollers & Mudlarkers facilitate a couple of your activities! We love working with locals when hosting family visiting Nova Scotia. ♥️ Another great Meeting of the WatersContinue reading “Family Fun Times in Parrsboro!!!”

Amazing views! Wards Brook Formation revisited – Epic tour! The perfect way to spend another sunny day in Cumberland County, NS.

Soley Cove in September

September started on a positive note! These fun-loving folk on their way to an Airstream meet-up stopped by to walk on the ocean floor! What a great bunch: their curiosity and sense of wonder made for some magical moments. Soley Cove never disappoints.

Family Geology Tour…

In the footsteps of Eldon George… this budding geologist from the Ottawa region was keen to check out the beaches at Wasson’s Bluff and Two Islands today! There were shiny rocks and hermit crabs galore, skipping rocks was another interest and just wading in the water at low tide kept us cool and focussed. ThereContinue reading “Family Geology Tour…”

When a Waldorf School Family comes on a tour…

Crabs galore! Exploring the ocean floor with a marine biologist adds another dimension for this fun-loving family from Montreal😊 It was a pleasure spending time with this energetic family and their marine biologist cousin from Moncton today! What a way to start the long weekend😁

Economy Falls

A visit to Economy Falls has been on my agenda for nearly four years. Between washed out, nearly impassable roads, a crazy schedule and lack of interest from hiking friends it took this much time to finally get to the long anticipated destination. Currently the River Philip Road is a well-maintained gravel logging road. ItContinue reading “Economy Falls”

Foraging Weekend!

For the first time this month I had the weekend off. The weather has been stellar and the tides were favourable for replenishing our dulse stash. Dulse (Palmaria palmata) is an edible seaweed rich in nutrients and popular among maritimers. Every community boats that they have THE best dulse and with prices online of aroundContinue reading “Foraging Weekend!”

Nova Scotia Hike Summit 2024

This has been a long wait! Last year’s summit was cancelled due to wildfires. This year it’s full steam ahead😊! It’s great to attend an event like this with a like-minded friend where we are thrilled about the views, the little treasures along the trail and the fact that we are surrounded by so manyContinue reading “Nova Scotia Hike Summit 2024”

Family Additions…

Yup, they did it again… in 2023 we welcomed Tillie May 8th. She was a lively pup and must have been related to the Energizer Bunny. Tillie found the best forever home in Halifax last July and we still visit her when we get to the city. This year the date of arrival was MayContinue reading “Family Additions…”

Cape Chignecto Landmark: Storyteller Tree

Between trail marker 27 and 28 km, just before or after the halfway mark, depending if one travels clockwise or counter-clockwise, this ancient, gnarly, attention-demanding sentinel calls the hiker to attention! Many a picture has been captured with this tree… many a story could be told if it could speak!

Forest Bathing – Woodland Impressions

A month ago I participated in the Wilderness First Aid course at the Search and Rescue Centre near Waverly. The Advanced module was rescheduled for today. I decided to make my way there yesterday afternoon to avoid an early morning commute. When I arrived I was told that there would not be a class afterContinue reading “Forest Bathing – Woodland Impressions”

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. On our way to Amherst today we decided to swing by our favourite sugar bush to pickContinue reading “Nova Scotia’s Fifth Season Officially Over for 2024”

Crocus Time

After the excitement of witnessing the near total eclipse of the sun it’s time to focus on things closer to home. The flowerbeds are getting ready for their annual colour display. First to make an appearance: the humble crocus.

Eclipse 2024 Recap

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words… while I did not capture images of the eclipse itself I enjoyed watching my tour group take it all in. Following are a few more pictures of the scenery. Check out the sun rays and halo that are so different from a regular sun capture. Participants todayContinue reading “Eclipse 2024 Recap”

Movie Recommendation

There has been a buzz on social media and among my Wednesday afternoon hiking group lately. One of our members organized a private screening in her home this afternoon. The sun was shining brightly and some of us quietly grumbled that we would really like to be outside. But once inside and with images flashingContinue reading “Movie Recommendation”
