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. My tour schedule heated up with the weather and I focussed on providing great experiences for clients from near and far. Last Sunday I had the pleasure of spending time with Angela from Maine. HerContinue reading “Whirlwind Week of Touring!”

West Advocate: Red Rocks

One of the major landmarks along the beach near the starting point of the Cape Chignecto Trail is the Red Rocks Formation. A little driving tour this afternoon had us climb these sandstone rocks, admire the patterns and striations and enjoy the stunning views from the top!

McGahey Brook Trail Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park

A last minute invitation to join friends on a hike today was a welcome diversion from spending time on the computer. We set out from the Driftwood Beach parking lot in West Advocate exploring the ever-changing pebble beach. We turned around near the organic Atlantic salmon plant and headed toward the Red Rocks at theContinue reading “McGahey Brook Trail Loop in Cape Chignecto Provincial Park”

Edgett’s Beach at High Tide

Edgett’s Beach is located in West Apple River near the Eatonville Day Use Area. We decided to go on a drive this afternoon and as we neared Advocate Harbour fog rolled in from the Bay of Fundy. Once we arrived at Edgett’s Beach the fog was on its way out and just at the timeContinue reading “Edgett’s Beach at High Tide”

With the cancellation of the Hike Summit my Monday was suddenly free, so I ventured out to Advocate Harbour this morning. I arrived a little early. Once the light rain slowed I beganContinue reading “A Beach Clean Up Story…”

Into The Grey..

The weather report called for rain and we almost called off our weekly hike. I am so glad we threw caution to the wind and headed to West Advocate. Gray is beautiful… especially when contrasted against Red Rocks! Happy Wednesday, Anna

The approach to Cape d’Or, our nextContinue reading “Tour Day: Parrsboro to Advocate and Back”

Surf’s Up!!!

Tide was nearing its high point this afternoon at West Advocate, Nova Scotia! Humbling and invigorating at the same time… Some still images that don’t require any words. Enjoy! Happy Sunday, friends and fellow ocean lovers. May these images provide you with energy for another work week, Anna

Red Rocks Beach in West Advocate and Cape d’Or

I had the pleasure of leading a bus tour with 26 participants down shore yesterday. Our first destination was West Advocate where the Red Rocks beckoned. The group even spotted a seal close to shore in the waters of the outgoing tide. The landscape was shrouded in mist for most of the day. As weContinue reading “Red Rocks Beach in West Advocate and Cape d’Or”
