Clarence relates that the weather forecast has changed and he plans to go shooting in the Parrsboro area tomorrow . He has graciously offered to lead a second field trip for any Guild members interested.
Please note the Saturday October 24th date is still a go. (and, yes, you can attend both if you wish!)
If you are interested in shooting tomorrow (Sunday October 18th), please call Clarence at 506-758-2979 and leave a message with your name, the fact that you plan to attend and your phone number. The plan for tomorrow is to meet at 9 am at the Tim Horton’s in Parrsboro, but please call Clarence if you plan to attend – (if he doesn’t receive any calls, he won’t be there.)
I would like to thank Clarence for providing this second opportunity to capture some of the most amazing Fall colours in the Province.
I just spoke to Clarence who has been watching the weather very closely.
Blueberry fields are late this year, the forecast is not good for tomorrow and Sunday so Clarence is changing the trip to Saturday Oct 24th.
Meet at Tim Hortons in Parrsboro at 9:00 am.
People need to bring boots, raincoat and dress warmly. It is cold in that area at this time of the year. Participants will be given a map of the area in which we are going. The field trip will end at sunset.
Clarence has gone to the New Canaan area twice in the last week and some of the fields are completely red and others are a tapestry of green, orange with a mixture of red. Spectacular views. From one place you can see Amherst from the top. Clarence will be stopping at the “Glooscap” restaurant for dinner. After dinner he will return to the New Canaan area.

Hi All:
The waterfall field trip on Oct. 10th will be fantastic due to the copious amounts of rainfall that we have had and are going to get.
Directions: We are going to meet at the car pool parking lot off the Hwy 101 on the way to Windsor. Take Exit 4- The St. Croix and Newport exit (a couple of exits before Windsor).
At the Stop sign, turn left and proceed one half (1/2) km and met up at the car pool.
Kindly let me know who can take other people with them and who would like to pool up. Let’s keep the number of vehicles down to a minimum for safety and environment reasons.
Time: 8:30 am- Depart at 9:00 am
Bring: Lunch and snacks. We will be eating at The Port in Port Williams but not until 5 pm.
Wear layered clothing and waterproof footwear. A reflective orange/yellow vest if you have one.
A tripod is essential, a polarizer is an accent , shower cap would be help keep water drops off cameras and lens.
Our goal is to venture to the North Mountain of Blomidon and explore the waterfalls of Sleepy Hollow, Black Hole. Cobb Irving and Baxter’s Hbr.
If we have time we will do Borden Brook at the Prov. campground.
Kindly print off and fill out the Waiver Form.
“Life is Good”
