I'm still alive...

Yep, I am still alive, but have taken a break from the blog to do some other creative activities, such as making some cards! I was pretty focused on that for a week or so, now I have to catch up on my homework for the Photoshop course!! It will be finished Friday and then I'll just have to write the exam and then I'll be all done! Yeah! Time to go on holidays! We are heading back to Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick (well, south of NB anyway). I'm hoping to get some good scenic shots and some sunsets (maybe sunrises if I get up early enough!) We, (well, Brooke and I) may attempt another whale watching cruise...I'm just deciding if I'm brave enough to go back into the BAY OF FUNDY!! We have rented a cottage there for a week this time, so it should be fun and relaxing!

Now, on to all the pictures! Here are some of the interior of Boldt Castle, where we went a few weeks ago (time sure flies!).

Boldt Castle in the 1000 Islands

Last Sunday we took a cruise through the 1000 Islands. We opted for the 5 hour cruise, which stopped on Heart Island, where we could tour through Bold Castle for 2 hours. It has awesome architecture, so I got a few hundred pictures!  They are always renovating when we go (this is our 3rd time, I think), and trying to make it look like it used to!

Anyway, today I'm showing you the outside of the castle. I will hopefully share some inside shots soon.
1st, 2nd & 3rd pics-shots from various views around the outside of the castle

5th pic-boat house (shot against the sun!!!)
