St Andrews, NB, Part 2

Welcome back! Well, I survived being in Oneida for the whole week! I'm home this week.....well, until Friday, then the girls and I are heading to Ottawa for a long overdue visit to see our friends! We are home Sunday and then I head back to Oneida on Monday for 3 days! I may as well not even unpack! :-)

 

Today's photos are the "critters" from St. Andrews that we saw on the beach there. They were all alive and as you can see from all the hand/fingers in the shots, my family loves picking them up!

 

1st & 2nd-soft shell clams

3rd-sea urchin

4th-underside of the same sea urchin (I know you were wondering!)

5th- a very tiny crab who was running up and down Keturah's hand

6th-a sea star (I like how they always look like they are pointing)

7th-another sea urchin-this one attached to a big rock

 

Next week, I'll try to post between my trips---some scenics from Grand Manan!

 

Have a great week!

 

 

St Andrews by the Sea, NB

Sorry for the delay in posting (or missing a week altogether!)! I was getting ready to travel last weekend and then travelled to Oneida for a couple of days. Then I was wiped when I got home and guess what? I get to do it again this weekend! Yep, I'm heading out again to Oneida for the whole week! Yikes! I hope I survive it! :-)

 

Anyway, this week, I wanted to add some photos from St Andrews that I had taken and that I hadn't added as yet. Looking through my photos makes me wish I was back there walking on a beach! I love it down East!

 

1st-4th---are all photos of Seaweed! Yep! Seaweed. It's really neat and it sounds squishy when you walk on it OR it pops like bubble wrap too sometimes! Pretty cool!

5th- a cool rock formation with a pretty sky

6th-a BIG scallop shell

7th- the Pendlebury Lighthouse-it was under renovations last year...glad to see it back in order!

 

Next week I'll have a few more pics from this area--of some sea critters!

 

Have a GREAT week!

 

Sunset in St. Andrews by the Sea!

Wow,  my post title sounds like a song title! Sorry for posting so late this week. The family and I went to Niagara Falls as Friday was a PA day and therefore a long weekend for us! We had hoped to go to Algonquin Park, but I could NOT find a cottage available that was under $300 a night! Busy this time of year I guess! So, we went to our next favourite place!

 

It was a very nice weekend (except for a bit of rain on Mon) and we sure kept busy and now I must catch up on my sleep! LOL I have also went back to volunteering at Sandy Pines Wildlife Centre on Mondays and Wednesdays...no rest for the wicked!

 

This week I'm highlighting some scenic sunset shots I took at St. Andrews-by-the-Sea. We stayed there 1 night before we headed to Grand Manan Island, NB.

 

It's such a beautiful area and I really enjoyed the heron who hung around the whole time we were there. You can see him in most of my shots below!

 

Have a great week!
