Loughbreeze Bay B&B

Last week, I was reminded that I had not mentioned one of my favourite things about living here at Loughbreeze Bay.  My epiphany came when I received an email from a friend.  As you can imagine, it is one of those simple pleasures we take for granted but here at Loughbreeze, simple pleasures become a highlight.   All summer long, there has been a plethora of news telling us to look up and check out the night sky.  Sometimes, it looks like a blanket of dark velvet with the stars and planets seeming to pop right out at you. Our night sky has no light pollution. Currently, we have been watching the orbiting Space Station and Space Shuttle.  What an awesome sight to watch these man made creations swiftly pass overhead.  Check out these web sites and see the recent pictures from the newly refurbished Hubble telescope at http://hubblesite.org and www.space.com/nightsky.    All summer, we have been gathering in our lawn chairs at the lake front to witness the nightly spectacles.  Lately, we marvelled at the close configuration of the moon and Mars as they passed above us in a once in a lifetime formation. For information on local star and planet sightings in your area, go to www.astroleague.org and www.rasc.ca. For us, the show begins as evening arrives and ends as the sun pushes its way across the horizon.  Recently, we were blessed with a golden full moon reflecting off the water.  Soon it will be a golden Harvest Moon. Don’t miss it!   Come to Loughbreeze for the perfect show.   Looking forward to seeing you!
