We had the privilege of seeing some trumpeter swans on our lake as they are migrating through the area. There were actually 8 of them, but I wasn’t able to get photos of all of them together. They are beautiful birds.
Trumpeter Swans’ Visit
Sunset in November
These are for my neighbour, Pat, who called me to go and take some pictures of the sunset. Pat, I hope you enjoy them. I’m glad you called.
Camping Trip – Pog Lake Provincial Park
We finished our camping trip this year by going into Algonquin Park and staying at Pog Lake Provincial Park. It is a beautiful park, and it is possible to go on the old railway bike trail that goes through Algonquin. We covered around 32 km on our bikes the day we took our trip.
Camping Trip – Staying at Relatives
It’s difficult to get a reservation for a weekend in the Provincial Parks unless you reserve very early. On our trip, we had two nights when we couldn’t get into any of the parks, so we spent a couple of nights in my husband’s sister’s yard. They weren’t home but were camping in northern Ontario, […]
Camping Trip – Six Mile Lake Provincial Park
We spent a few nights at Six Mile Lake Provincial Park and enjoyed our time there. We were able to take our kayaks out on the lake and do some fishing. You can borrow fishing rods and buy worms for your time out on the water. I caught 8 small fish compared to Neil catching […]
Camping Trip – Oastler Lake Provincial Park

Camping Trip – McRae Point Provincial Park
We recently visited several provincial parks in Central Ontario. Each of the parks had its own beauty. We enjoyed the scenery at McRae Point. We were able to take our bikes on back roads in the area. Lots of nice country around there. One night the water was quite calm, so we were able to […]
Beautiful Night Sky
Tonight was perfect for taking photos of the night sky. I am still learning how to get the correct exposure, but it was fun trying.
Pickerelweed?
I enjoy going up the river as the mist is rising in the mornings. The light and the mist makes it very interesting. I believe this plant is called a pickerelweed if I’ve identified it properly. Pickerelweed is part of the water hyacinth family. It has one spike that has small blue flowers on it […]
Our Groundhogs
We’ve had some groundhogs around our place, possibly dwelling beneath our shed. They may have eaten some of my plants, but usually we just see them eating grass or clover. These two were sitting on the step at the shed, and took their time moving off of the step when we came by. They look […]
