How fast a year passes! It’s Canada Day Eve 2023 and our house was a flurry of activity all day. Puppy Tillie got us up before 5 a.m. … … and I started baking by 9 a.m. Ottawa House is a privately funded museum and without the tremendous efforts of countless committed volunteers the ParrsboroughContinue reading “No Idle Hands…”

Still New Sites to Explore: FORCE Research Centre For Energy in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark
We had an opportunity to join Caleb Grant, geoscientist from the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark, and Sandra Currie for a tour of the FORCE research center on energy and its beach in Westbay, just outside of Parrsboro, this afternoon. The Center is well worth a visit. Put it on your list for a rainy day.Continue reading “Still New Sites to Explore: FORCE Research Centre For Energy in the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark”
Food for Thought: The Leave no Trace Principles
Yesterday evening I had the opportunity to participate in an online seminar centred around the Seven Leave no Trace Principles offered by the Outdoor Council of Canada. The hour long presentation was one of the more enjoyable workshops I have attended via Zoom. If you are not familiar with Leave no Trace, check out someContinue reading “Food for Thought: The Leave no Trace Principles”

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.

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…”
Bay of Fundy Moment
Flashback from our Cape Chignecto multi-day backpacking trip. Enjoy!
Had to check: Clarke Head is still standing…
…which is vital for our upcoming Summer Solstice Sunset Hike! Had a great outing this morning, drizzle and chilly wind included. The weather for Wednesday is very promising. I have a couple spots open, so if you have held off to register contact me soon to reserve your spot! Here is the direct link toContinue reading “Had to check: Clarke Head is still standing…”
Hired to guide… thanks to a Google search!
This was definitely a first for me! A travel influencer family from Florida found me on Google while planning their Nova Scotia itinerary. I had forgotten that there would be filming… I had agreed to that in the contact email but assumed it would be all about the landscape. Well, it was about the landscapeContinue reading “Hired to guide… thanks to a Google search!”
Love What I Do!!
Just spent the most amazing time with this dynamic family from Florida exploring Soley Cove at low tide today! Tune in tomorrow to read all about the tour and see the pictures! Good night, Anna
Bushwhacking Required…
It was time to discover new beach territory today. This beach access is not for the faint of heart. The ground was very uneven, boggy and covered with high grass making us second guess each step. A little creek merged with the rough, almost completely overgrown foot path. I must admit, if I had beenContinue reading “Bushwhacking Required…”
Rock Hunting Guided Tour
The weather cooperated today! The rain stopped just as we arrived at our starting point. It held off for the entire time we explored the beach. My wonderful clients from Virginia really enjoyed their time on Two Islands Beach as we experienced the tide moving out to expose the ocean floor! When the sun pushedContinue reading “Rock Hunting Guided Tour”
Rain, rain, go away…
Heavy rain this morning surprised us, but what mixed the day up unnecessarily was the fact that the weather forecast was completely false. The rain stopped… but it was too late to reschedule the original tour planned for today. Good thing the guests are here for another day! We are venturing out tomorrow… let’s seeContinue reading “Rain, rain, go away…”
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!”
Time Travel at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs
It’s been a while since I last descended the staircase to the beach below the Joggins Fossil Cliffs, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today the weather was perfect for a long beach hike with friends… on the agenda was Lower Cove to view the Coal Age fossil trees I have heard so much about. It’sContinue reading “Time Travel at the Joggins Fossil Cliffs”
