This time of year, we see a lot of fog on the lake and in the area. These are some of the pictures I’ve taken in the last month or so. It’s a peaceful quiet time and we can enjoy it when we are walking around the lake, or taking the kayak out.

Fall Colours
We went on a colour tour yesterday. I think it’s one of the most beautiful falls we have had in a long time.
CAMPING AND WILDLIFE
This past week we were able to go camping at Arrowhead in Huntsville. It was a bit cool, but that was okay. One of the days, we went to Algonquin for a day of hiking. We were hoping to see some wildlife, but we didn’t. We saw more back at Arrowhead the next day. We […]

Eastern Cottontail Rabbits
