Just before Sunset…

…the beach at Diligent River never disappoints. The light was magical with and the Minas Basin calm, a perfect setting for a small pre-Christmas get-together with friends. Happy Sundaay, everyone. Best wishes, Anna

Today’s sunrise was picturesque for lack of a better description! My images were captured in the span of thirty minutes from when I first stepped outside to when I returned from walking the pups.

Once I parked the vehicle I had trouble opening the door with the wind pushing against it. Ottawa House and Partridge Island Beaches are more sheltered,Continue reading “Perseverance pays off…”
