Mahone Bay...

I had just got my new lens for the camera so Trent and I decided that it would be nice to try it out (expecially since I had a sporting event to take pictures for that night)....so we decided to go to Mahone bay because it's a cute little place.
We asked Trent's mom to come along with us. We didn't do much. We took some pics, did a little walking around, had some lunch, and looked in a few shops. Of course, we couldn't leave Mahone bay without stopping at the Cheesecake Gallery (though as an after thought, I wish we had gotten it somewhere else because it was $20.00 for 3 small pieces of cheesecake!
There was a fire in Mahone bay that damaged a restaurant and another building. It seemed to be mostly at the tops of the buildings, but Trent wanted a pic of it so here it is!!
The scenery at Mahone Bay is lovely with it's boats, and churches and other intresting things! There is this place called the wooden monster and this is where I got the picture of the wooden bird. I though it was pretty neat!
The churches in Mahone Bay are well know because they basically stand side by side. EVERYONE gets photos of these and yes, I did to. They were doing some repair on them so I tried not to get too much of it in the photo...also during the day people park infront of them so it is IMPOSSIBLE to get one during the day without cars,LOL!!!
I cannot tell you how awesome my new lense is!!!! I was so far away from these churches. We actually drove away from them, and parked on the side of the road and I took these photos from across the water!!!! I wasn't even at full zoom when I got the individual churches!
