I have a lot of favourite things but some things that are at the top of my list of favorite things are sunsets, full moons and meteor showers. Lately, I've added the Northern Lights to the list because we've only started really seeing them in the sky over Cape Breton this past year or two.
I had many opportunities early in the summer to enjoy all of these things. I didn't take any vacation too early on and was sticking closer to home at that time.
One memorable evening early in the summer, I picked up my good friend and drove out to Port Morien where we tried to find the Northern Lights and see if we could see any meteors. We saw neither but it was a good night anyway.
A few nights later, we drove out to Donkin where we got adventurous and drove down some roads we had never been down before and found a beautiful look-off where we enjoyed a spectacular sunset. By the time we got to Big Glace Bay Beach just down the road, the sky was still red, orange and yellow!
Wildfires broke out on the mainland and although quite a distance away, the smoke reached Cape Breton and had dramatic effects on our sunrises and sunsets for a few days.
Sunsets, full moons, meteors and Northern Lights played a role in all my summer adventures but those first days of summer were some of the best.
