Whirlwind Week of Touring!
My best intentions of keeping the blog up-to-date 2 to 3 times a week have been quickly derailed this week.

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”

Layers and Texture…
Sunday presented us with some beautiful sunshine and during a short drive, we stopped to take in the view toward Blomidon across the Minas Basin.
