The Bay of Fundy All a Glow

These photos were taken at Hall's Harbour this evening at sunset . The beauty of the Bay tonight was hard to capture in a photo !!!!!

Amethyst

My daughter and I went for a 2 mile beach walk the other day and had our best rock hunting adventure yet , we found over 10 pieces of amethyst , beach glass as well as agate . The Bay of Fundy shore holds many treasures to explore.The 2 large pieces in this photo was the size of our fist , we where both very excited to find them , a true mother and daughter moment to treasure !!!!!

Sunset at Hall's Harbour

These photos were taken at sunset in Halls's Harbour a couple of evening ago !!!! I never take a sunset for grant it !!!

Super Moon

These photos I took last weekend of the super moon and this is an article from the weather network explaining all about it !

The moon won't be this close to earth again until 2014

On Saturday night, our celestial neighbour, the Moon, will be just under 357,000 km from our planet – the closest it will get until 2014 - and about 30,000 km less than it's average distance from Earth.

For observers this means that the moon will appear about 16% larger and 30% brighter than other full moon of the year.

Despite the internet hype there is no scientific evidence connecting the lunar event to any effects on Earth - other than offering a beautiful sight in the night sky.

If you get clouded out – try watching Sunday night too – it should still look great just past its full phase.

The best time to catch the sky show is just after local sunset – looking towards the eastern horizon as the Moon rises. The silvery orbit will probably appear unusually big while near the horizon – a visual illusion, making it an even more impressive sight and photo opportunity.

The moon will be much bigger and brighter than usual

Meanwhile a minor meteor shower, called the Eta-Aquarids is set to peak overnight May 5-6.

As Earth passes through the debris trail left behind by famous Halley's comet, bits and pieces of the icy visitor slams into Earth's atmosphere creating shooting stars.

Ideally meteor rates of up to 20 per hour would be expected however with the bright glare from the moon blocking out all but the brightest meteors,
observers can expect more modest rates of 5 to 10 per hour.

Face in a southeasterly direction towards the radiant of the shower, where its' namesake constellation Aquarius rises in the pre-dawn hours of Sunday, May 6.

Polished Rocks

My daughter and I have been spending a lot of time at the beach lately collecting rocks , driftwood and taking photos . These are some of the rocks that we had tumbled , I love how the agate and jasper turned out !!!!

Surfs Up At Halls Harbour

The power of the Bay of Fundy amazes me and the sound of the crashing waves I love especially when the sun is glistening on the water !
