August Photo a Day – Sandy Beach
…thanks to City Sonnet for hosting the August Photo a Day
Today’s prompt is sandy beach.
Our sandy beach on Big Sand Bay has receded considerably over the last 30 years. As water levels rise the beach on parts of the north shore have disappeared completely. In the middle of the beach and to the east we can still claim to have a sandy beach.
August Photo a Day Challenge – Aug. 25 – Lighthouse
…thanks to City Sonnet for hosting the August Photo a Day Challenge
Todays prompt is lighthouse. Christian Island, where my cottage resides has its own lighthouse on the southern tip of the island. It is still operational but now it no longer employs a lighthouse keeper.

Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Tourism
….thanks to Snow from The Snow Melts Somewhere for this week’s Friendly Friday Photo Challenge
I know that tourism is good for the economy and that many communities around the world rely heavily on tourism. When possible we try to travel in the off season to avoid large crowds. There are times, however, when that is not possible. One time was the summer our son got married in Italy.
I loved Italy but we did avoid some areas because of the heavy foot traffic from tourists. Most of the places we visited were very popular and the crowds were unavoidable. Two of those places were Venice and Rome. Despite the large number of tourists, we thoroughly enjoyed both cities.
Photo Challenge – Store Displays
….thanks to Weekly Prompts for this week’s photo challenge
London, England had some of the most beautiful store displays, especially at Harrods.
Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge – August 24, 2019
….thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting the Pull Up a Seat Photo Challenge
On Thursday I made a quick trip to the library at WAAC. After a short meeting I decided to head over to the museum which is literally around the corner. It was a beautiful day and there were lots of people on the street and some were sitting on walls to take in a fabulous group of street musicians.
Inside the museum I only had time to visit one exhibit. I have a membership so I know that I can come back at any time and take a closer look at things that really interest me. I chose to walk around the ‘Treasures of a Desert Kingdom’. What a wonderfully rich display wealth, art and culture.
Some of the most interesting artefacts were the chairs, thrones and modes of transportation.
If you’re in Toronto check out this exhibit. The royal family is still in existence today and kindly loaned the artefacts and jewels to the ROM.
