The Valley is greening up and ready for intrepid photographers to venture on our annual Cape Split walk, hike and photo tour. The flowers begun only about 1 1/2 kms from the parking lot in Scotts Bay.
The trail ends at approx 7 kms where the view of the Minas Basin, Bay of Fundy, Cape Dor, Parrsboro shore, Spencer’s Island can be seen along with hearing the rushing tides around the Split. This is also the location where the underwater tidal turbine was located and many more will be placed to generate clean energy.
The flowers grow on both sides of the trail for approx 5-6 kms and consists of spring beauties, dutch-man’s-britches, red trillions and violets. Some years there are so many flowers that it appears that snow is still on the ground.
For those that do not know how to get to the trailhead can met at Exit 4, Hwy 101, St. Croix, Newport car pool parking lot at 8:30am with departure at 8:45 am. We will met and depart at the trailhead at 10 am.
Please bring a signed waiver that can be downloaded from our website.
After the days hiking and photographing we can met at the Port Pub in Port Williams in late afternoon/early evening.

Hello everyone
We (Rob Fensome and Wayne Garland) are planning a “geophoto” evening for Wednesday 2nd March at the Carlyle condominium building on Coburg. All Guild members are invited, but we plan to send follow-up emails only to those expressing an interest by responding to this message (please see below).
The main aim of the get-together is to view images of geological subjects from both geological and photographic perspectives for information, as a warm up to the AGS-sponsored competition at the Guild later in March, and to exchange ideas about where to go to see neat rocks and landscapes. It will be very informal … no pressure evaluations. And please feel free to bring interested partners. So if you’ve wondered about the geology behind some of your favourite images, or asked yourself whether an image might be an appropriate entry for the AGS competition (not that there is a definitive answer), please consider coming along.
If you are interested in receiving further information about this event (time and how to submit images to be viewed ahead of time), please contact Rob Fensome:

902-426-2732 (work and most effective voice mail)
