Glorious Sunset at Eastern Point

My dreams of seeing another glorious sunset (with camera in hand) came to fruition a couple of nights ago at Eastern Point. Here are some of the shots. We certainly live in a breathtaking setting!

I have also recently introduced a new Facebook page to highlight further stories of our adventures and accompanying photos. Additional pictures of this sunset are available there along with some others. This kind of Facebook interaction is new to me and we will see how it develops, but I am hoping it can co-exist with my GMG blogging. Anyhow, if you are interested in additional pictures and stories, please follow Pat D’s Photos and Adventures on Facebook.

If a move is right for you and your family, it’s right, no matter what’s going on. But if you’re not sure, sometimes it’s better to sit tight.
