Sunday Snap: Bath-time Bliss
“I think a lot of contemplation happens in bathtubs. It does for me. Nothing like a hot bath to ease the tension and think about what’s going to happen next.” ~ Sarah McLachlan

Sharing a post today from three years ago. It’s a travel-themed favourite. 🙂
Have you ever been impressed by the beauty of a door? The world is filled with doorways* and entrances, but here are several that left me either pleased by their quaintness, awed by their workmanship, or entranced by their immensity and grandeur. All before ever setting one foot inside.
For starters, a charming little one from the Barbour Heritage Village in my town:
This entrance in Bonavista with its crisp contrasting colours and symmetry:
In Montreal, the beauty and craftsmanship of this splendid doorway: 
…and how about the opulence of this entrance in Cannes? No, we didn’t stay there… 😉
We stayed here, our inviting little home away from home:
The view through our balcony doors was also appealing, beckoning us outside.
Hard to top the view of Lake Maggiore from our patio doors in Stresa:
Here’s a closer look of the northern Italian lake:

One of my favourite winter snaps. First published here on February 25, 2012.
Turn that frown upside down, little fellow.
Seals have been paying us frequent visits around the Point this winter.
I’ve shared snaps of a recent visitor on Instagram this week, as well as a little whitecoat on an earlier Sunday Snap, but today’s pic is a favourite from the post Calm in 2016.
I’ve lost count of how many times this particular photo has been pinned on Pinterest.
Wishing you all a pleasant week, my friends!
I love the horizon I captured in this photo for two reasons: its misty summer haze and the slight curvature that it exhibits.
This picturesque little fishing village is my mother’s hometown. My father’s maternal roots are here as well, so many of my relatives are from Grates Cove. Some live there, while others have summer homes.
A National Historic site recognized for its acres of rock walls, it has also been reported that Grates Cove has the highest number (per capita) of mainlanders buying houses to live, in all of Newfoundland.
To learn more and see photos of the rock walls, visit my blog post from 2013: Grates Cove

This beautiful creature happened by my house for a visit this week while I was outside.
I swear it preened and spread its wings wider for me as I captured it on my phone.
Do you see what I see: a black cat’s face with orange eyes?
Perhaps it’s a Halloween butterfly.
Have a terrific week, everyone!

I shared this post exactly five years ago this week. I thought its photos deserved another look. Have a great weekend, everyone! ❤

Come along as we take a stroll through Newtown on this beautiful October day.

The tide is high this afternoon.
Much of my next door neighbour’s garden is still summer lovely.
I stopped to admire another neighbour’s potato harvest. Of course, he insisted I take a bagful.
