Hanging at the State Pier

On Thursday afternoon close to sunset noticed the calmness of the sea and some beautiful reflections at State Pier.

Heading out from the State Pier

At the State Pier on a cloudy Monday watching this fishing boat leave the safe harbor.  The sign that states danger rocks, also makes you think about how dangerous it is for our fishing vessels to fish everyday.

Clouds, sun, ocean, sand and sunset

Wednesday was a really pretty day after the snow.  Around sunset could not help myself and went to Good Harbor, State Pier and Magnolia Landing.

Ducks at the State Pier

Love going to the State Pier to see the ducks and sometimes seals.  On Saturday the ducks were have a great time.

Cruiseport and the Beauport Boat

On Friday before the Buoy Auction went over to the State Pier, the harbor was like a mirror.  Amazing how the ocean can change continually.

More photographs tomorrow
