It was a busy and very stressful summer and I didn't get out to do my photography as much as I would have liked. However, I can never resist a Northern Ontario sunset. Next year, I hope to have a much more restful and peaceful summer where I am able to get out with my… Continue reading Manitouwabing Lake and Magnetawan

My Happy Place…
We just returned home from 2 1/2 weeks vacation at our summer getaway and although it was not as relaxing as we would have liked it to be, I was able to get out in my kayak with my camera to do some paddling and photography. We are now home for the next few weeks… Continue reading My Happy Place…
Dirty Dog
Springtime and little dogs that like to run don't always go together...especially when your backyard is a small lake. Little Miss Brinley loves to run and she especially loves to chase the bunny rabbits that have taken up residence under the deck of our shed! On a daily basis, we are yelling at her to… Continue reading Dirty Dog
My Favourite Time of Year
Spring is my absolute favourite time of year...not the early spring in March or April when the boulevards are filled with dirty melting snowbanks and the ground is soaking wet and muddy...but the spring when the grass turns green and everything starts to bloom and there is a freshness to the air. I could live… Continue reading My Favourite Time of Year
One crazy summer
I do not know where this summer went! I can't believe we are into September already and that we are heading into cool nights and crisp frosty air. Although I love all the beauty of fall, I am not ready to give up days by the lake and the warm sun on my face. This… Continue reading One crazy summer
Brinley Bean
Life over the past few weeks has been challenging to say the least. House training a new puppy in frigid winter temperatures has not, and still is not, easy. It is getting better day by day but she still has a couple accidents in the house each day...baby steps, I know we will get there.… Continue reading Brinley Bean
Life with Brinley Bean
Well, it's been 4 weeks since we brought our little Brinley home and let me tell you, she is one spunky little fireball! She has learned how to sit and most days has it mastered. Some days she needs a tiny reminder. Now we are working on stay and wait...especially around her food bowl. She… Continue reading Life with Brinley Bean
Autumn in Cottage Country
It is said that Ontario's cottage country has some of the most beautiful scenery around...especially in the fall. I would have to agree. As a child, I grew up camping and cottaging in Ontario's North country and it has instilled in me a true love and need to return to it every chance I get.… Continue reading Autumn in Cottage Country
Pandas!
Ever since the Giant Pandas arrived at the Toronto Zoo in 2013 I have been meaning to take a trip down to see them. Like everything else, life got in the way and time marched on. Well, this is their final year in Toronto before moving on to Calgary, so yesterday we made the trip… Continue reading Pandas!
A Wet Muskoka Summer
It is so hard to believe that we are nearing the end of August and will be very quickly thrust into the reality of cold nights and changing  fall leaves. There is already a chill to the night air up in cottage country; however, the days are still warm when the sun decides to shine.… Continue reading A Wet Muskoka Summer
