Thomas Cove Economy Loop Trail

After a quick hike around the Thomas Cove Economy Trail Loop we said good bye to our Saskatchewan friends today. This 4 km loop shows off some of the best the Cliffs of Fundy Geopark has to offer: lush woodlands contrasting against red sandstone cliffs. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!

Chasing Last Light…

High tide was relatively late in the day and I thought I had waited long enough to get a last minute beach excursion in. I decided on using the stairs to the Old Man sea stack but when I stepped onto the rocky beach I realized that I would have to scramble over the bouldersContinue reading “Chasing Last Light…”

Red Cliffs along the Cliffs of Fundy Global UNESCO Geopark

So many beaches, each unique and awe inspiring!

The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Hike Challenge Badge…

…just claimed top position on the sleeve of my fleece hiking jacket! It arrived last week. Despite my excitement I could not muster the energy to sew the badge into place! I caught a nasty bug that had me down for the last five days. I am on the mend though: sewing on the badgeContinue reading “The Cliffs of Fundy Geopark Hike Challenge Badge…”

Leaning…

…into the elements! There are a number of evergreens lining the Parrsboro shore. This particular specimen is located at the entrance to Brookville Beach. Due to the heavy rain in the general forecast for Saturday we had to cancel our guided hike. And once again, my weather app predicted for the heavy rain to arriveContinue reading “Leaning…”

Heeding the call…

…no words are necessary! As soon as I opened the car door the sound of the ocean drew me down the hidden path onto the vast beach… May your Thursday be full of energy like the crashing waves of the Bay of Fundy.

Special Tour Day

About a week ago an email arrived inquiring about availability for an all-day tour for two artists. Today was the day we negotiated and we packed a lot into ten hours. First Stop: Crane Point near Ottawa House. We were keeping an eye on the incoming tide. The tide cut us off on the wayContinue reading “Special Tour Day”

Powerful Nature

A triangle carved By wind, weather and ocean – Beach discovery…

Rainy Days like today…

…make me peruse my summer memories. Today’s video is of the Five Islands Provincial Park Region featuring the Old Wife Formation at the start scanning toward Old Wife Rock and ending with Moose Island and the Five Islands Provincial Park cliffs. Always a favourite of mine!

Great Custom Tour with Clients from Alaska!

I just knew that an email ten days ago would bring very motivated clients my way! The brief requested a walk on the ocean floor and exploring dinosaurs! My initial hesitation centred around the fact that these best friends were arriving via cruise ship in Halifax and the logistics of getting them to the area.Continue reading “Great Custom Tour with Clients from Alaska!”

NS Walks Leader Training

October 30th… a momentous day! Three years ago our life in Nova Scotia began officially – we had finished quarantine and started to explore the Parrsboro area. Today we were blessed with the first snowfall of the season. Perfect timing to participate in a live-session to train several new NS Walk leaders. I was soContinue reading “NS Walks Leader Training”
