"Pretty as a Picture" ...

A *spectacular* day!

Up and out early to the Farmer's Market...

Brought individual quiche for brunch with neighbours we seldom see as we're all so busy. I said we'd make it super simple so we could visit...which we did for the next 3 hours...

Building continued on the back deck and it's looking amazing. There'll be a hold up until mid-week for the electrician to do some wiring, but it's going to be worth waiting for.

The afternoon was sunny and warm, so Ken painted the front door and steps...

We decided to go across the way to the golf course for supper . No matter that the food isn't spectacular...it's got the best view in town! I took this single shot and IMHO it looks to me like a postcard. Little wonder we think Lunenburg's such a gorgeous little town! (How about all those marvelous colours...and yes, Richard, the ubiquitous "Lunenburg Red" ...)

Back home, Fred greeted us and ran up the steps and inside with us. (We're eating with friends at his owner's restaurant tomorrow night...I'd love to tell them of Fred's duel life...but of course I won't...)

He curled up in my lap awhile as I was typing...he's now asleep on the couch.

Louise this is absolutely beautiful and looks like a postcard.

I think that is the epitome of "picturesque!" What a great jigsaw puzzle that would make... :)

@hbdaly I think you're right! There are card-and-photo companies that do that sort of thing...might keep that in mind... Thanks for liking your Lunenburg-Twin!

This picture could be a postcard. It brings to my mind some Norwegian towns I visited in 2005 which is a nice thing too.
October 6th, 2014  
very cool. reminds me of my grandmas collection of mini wooden buildings. I forgot what they were called, but this photo makes me think of her and makes me :).
October 8th, 2014  
So, so lovely....so glad you have found a place you can truly call home!! I can just tell that this feeds your soul! Love the Lunenberg red....and, the yellow.....and, the blue, and the green!!
October 8th, 2014  
We stayed in a motel up on the hill across from the golf course. We had this view from our deck every evening when the sun hit the town. lovely , you have caught it just right!
October 10th, 2014  
This makes me ache for Nova Scotia.
October 29th, 2014  
@kidatheart Thanks so much! If my photo can do that...bring you that emotion, then I guess I did ok... so happy you were here for the experience!
October 29th, 2014  
@summerfield Thanks! Similar, but not a match! Of course there're just so many ways to photograph this waterfront!
August 24th, 2015  
@Weezilou - but this is sooooo great. can i duplicate this when we get there? but the lighting here is so beautiful and that's what makes this photograph so attractive to me. i love it!
August 24th, 2015  
@summerfield From the shadows (and the time) I can see it was around the Golden Hour. The trees weren't bare yet. That will be quite close to the date you'll be here... and it's just a 5 minute drive from the house to this spot...
