Another Revisit.....

Yes, I went out and did another revisit this evening. After my last adventure out at Sunset I really wanted to try and get some night time photos of a Lighthouse serving it's purpose.... LIGHTS ON!

I didn't have to go far for this one. The Prim Point Lighthouse is a short drive away from home (10 minutes tops), and I thought this was the perfect one to go to to put my camera and it's nighttime setting to the test (after all if it didn't work this night I could always go back out the next). I must say, I was pretty impressed with what I was able to capture... next time I'll remember to bring the tripod so I can get a steadier shot.

I love these photos, and love how this Lighthouse looks in the dark (well, almost dark). It has given me a new appreciation for what they were made to do for us.... they are more than just a pretty picture waiting to happen.

This goes to show you, how old things.... things you've seen a whole bunch of times, can always seem new in a different light.

Good Night from Digby, NS

Getting Started with the 2012 Season!

It's here! It's here! My 2012 adventure season is FINALLY here!! Well, it's almost here...LOL It is only March, so still a little early yet to be taking road trips to the cool shore lines of Nova Scotia, but we have had some real beautiful days this month so it's been really hard to contain my excitement and to keep myself from heading out there.

Today, I started the season off by going to one of my Favorite Lighthouses.... one that I visit every year, not just because it is nearby, but because it is a really nice spot to spend some time and of course, it's also a great looking Lighthouse!. It doesn't matter how many times I visit the Gilbert's Cove Lighthouse, I can never seem to take enough pictures, and with as many pictures as I do have, it's hard to believe I can continue to get some that look different from all the others.

It was getting close to sunset before I decided to take the drive down... really I was so tired from spending the week-end at home that I just HAD to get out and do SOMETHING! There were a few other people who had the same idea, but it wasn't too busy, after all it is still 'pre-season'. It was kind of nice seeing this Light at a different time of day.... really should've stayed longer to see it lit up, maybe another time.

I am so happy to have been out at a lighthouse already, now if I can just get on route to see some different ones that would be GREAT! I think I have made my decision of which way I'd like to go this year. Yes I still hope to finish off the Annapolis Valley, at the very least I want to see the Margaretsville Lighthouse near Middleton, it's not the closest of the 3 left. What I REALLY hope to be able to do is get to as many on the South Shore as possible. I could take a long week-end and pack the kids up, start in Yarmouth, work my way around... spend the night at a few campgrounds.... it could be really FUN! Plus there are other things that would be great to see and do.... I've been wanting to take the kids to the Fisherman's Museum in Lunenburg for a few years now, would be neat to go see the progress they are making on the rebuild of the Bluenose II, hit the Ross Farm Museum in New Ross, go find some geocaches.... whatever we can find to get in to. I have BIG plans, just need to figure out how and when to make the plans a reality.

So here's to hoping I can get some new and interesting stuff on here for you all to read about this year. :) Hope some of you are able to get out and have your own adventures this year!

Safe & Happy Travels
