Sunsets at Long Eddy Point Lighthouse, Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick

Long Eddy Point Lighthouse

Welcome Back!

This week I have the LAST of the sunset photos from the Long Eddy Point Lighthouse on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick! These are some of my most favourite ones! The photos really do not do the sunset justice...So much more awesome and breath-taking in person.

This week went by fast..another short week! Of course, every week is a short week for me with having Friday's off! :-) I worked on my last lesson for Dreamweaver and will write the exam tomorrow! Not sure what's next on the agenda! More fun stuff, I'm sure!

The website I just finished will be uploaded tomorrow and because it's photography-related, if you'd like to check it out,  you will find it at:

(but not til tomorrow morning sometime!)

Not much new to report...Keturah and I headed to Ottawa yesterday for a baby shower for our friend, Sheena...It was lots of fun! Tired today as we got home after 11 last night! Today, just doing groceries, laundry and homework--all that fun stuff!

Have a great week!

Long Eddy Point Lighthouse

Welcome Back!

This time I have more photos of the beautiful sunsets at the Long Eddy Point Lighthouse on Grand Manan Island, New Brunswick.

These are all of the sun setting---no lighthouse to be found this week!

Another week went zooming by..probably because it was a 3 day week for me! I had a medical appointment on Monday...I'm still working on Dreamweaver II. Love it...creating a lot of websites along the way!

Brookie came home for Easter on Thursday...we met her at the Whitby Go station...tried that route this time...it didn't seem too bad for us, but she still had a lot of travelling and bus changes! :-)

Friday, we finally got out hiking to Lemoine's Point in Kingston. It was a beautiful day, but the trails were kind of muddy and/or slippery from the slush! On Saturday the girls and I went out shopping for the day. Today, we are heading to take Brooke to catch her train to go back to Waterloo, Keturah is off to work and Kev and I will be going for a turkey dinner at my sister's...Yumm!

Happy Easter!

Long Eddy Point Lighthouse

This week I have more sunset photos from this area of Grand Manan Island. A beautiful spot, with lots of greenery and water too, of course! I've included a shot of some berries that were beside us as we were waiting for the sun to set.

This week at school went by quick! I'm still working on the Dreamweaver program..it's slow going as I had to create a website for each lesson so far! It's fun, but is sometimes time-consuming, when you run into issues! 

On Friday, went out and ran errands, got my haircut, did some Easter shopping for the girlies and did some laundry! On Saturday we went to the Big Apple and then to Campbellford and then stopped to visit Grammy on the way home. Busy day, but fun to get out...The wind was a bit too cool to go hiking...maybe next weekend? :-) Today, is a lazy day at home, doing homework and finishing laundry..lots of fun! :-)

Have a great week!

Long Eddy Point Lighthouse

Welcome Back!

This week and for a few weeks, I'll be highlighting this area of Grand Manan Island, at the Long Eddy Point Lighthouse.

This is the place to go for awesome sunset photos. We always go at least once with every trip to Grand Manan.

The first two photos were taken first, before it was even sunset, just from shooting into the sun. Makes nice silhouettes. You can see from a couple of them, how bright it actually was that evening. Those water shots show the currents flowing...apparently, it's a great place to see whales too, but we've never seen them there. We have seen seals here in the past.

This is probably one of the busiest places on Grand Manan too, because of the sunset there, you get all the tourists with their cameras..they usually come a few minutes before sunset, take photos and leave, whereas, we spend alot longer there, checking for whales and just enjoying the out-of-doors!

Well, we had a great time in Niagara Falls..was fairly beautiful weather. We did a lot of walking, around the falls and Clifton Falls, the mall, The Bird Kingdom and the Butterfly Conservatory, so, lots of photos for future posts! 

Haven't been doing too much the last few days, some homework stuff, laundry, cleaning and even did some crafts!

Have a great week!

Grand Manan Sunset

Welcome Back!

This week I'm including some sunset shots from Grand Manan, NB. These were taken during the 2nd day of our holiday.

We went to the Long Eddy Point Lightstation at sunset to get these. This is one of the two best places to get sunset shots. A lot of people agree, because it was quite crowded by the time the sun was setting. Luckily we got there early so I could set up my tripod and the girlies could pick some wild raspberries before it got too dark!

The first two shots are of the Lightstation and are before and after the sunset. The first photo shows up darker as I was shooting into the sun and the second photo is still quite light although it was after the sun had set!

The remaining shots are of the sun gradually setting. After this we headed into town to watch some fireworks...so maybe I'll include some of those shots next week!

Anyway, I'm off to Oneida today for my last course! Yeah! I have to work 1/2 day on Wednesday, then I'm off til January 7th! I can't wait as I really need some downtime.

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!

 

Grand Manan Sunsets

Sorry for not posting for over a week AGAIN! Same excuse...too tired through the week and too lazy on the weekend! :-)

Here are some sunset pictures I took while visiting Grand Manan. These were all taken on the same night at various times throughout the evening. The lighthouse in the second photo is called the Long Eddy Lighthouse or "Whistle Lighthouse" for short. It was the best place to get sunset shots apparently!

Enjoy!
