Lake Nipissing Ice

 Lake Nipissing is now covered in ice; however, tomorrow's forecast is for +11C with some rain, so there might be some spots on the lake that open up.

Brrrr Begins

Winter is coming.

 

Camp Hill Cemetery Halifax

While in Halifax in July I roamed around the Camp Hill Cemetery. Some very old graves and "home" to some very notable Canadians including Alexander Keith and Robert Stanfield, often remembered as the best Prime Minister we never had.
 

Halifax

This an old building undergoing some re-conditioning in downtown Halifax, that I noticed while visiting there in early July of this year.
 

Coldwater Rocket

After putting my foot in Coldwater, I noticed this rocket at the ice cream stand.  It reminds me of the rocket in the French film from early in the 20th century that shot a rocket into the eye of the Man in the Moon.

Mink

 This mink or pine marten wandered onto our deck this morning while I was eating breakfast.

Parry Sound

White Pine near Parry Sound Harbour

 

Ahhhhh

 Last night was a beauty for a fire by the lake!

Trout Lake

 This is a photo of Trout Lake on April 9 this year, the day before the ice left the lake.

Maple Syrup

 We started to make maple syrup this year, first time ever. Our first batch yielded 1.5 L of syrup from approximately 60 L of sap. More to come soon, hopefully.

Table lights?

 Ice candles are easy to make, and they look great lit up when grouped together.

Sunny

 Had to say goodbye to our beautiful girl yesterday.  She was 14 and had a real tough time recently with fluid in her lungs.  She was a lovely dawg, although she had her foibles, as we all do.  I'm really going to miss her.

Lake View

 This is looking east down Trout Lake from between Viceroy Road and West Peninsula Road.

Happy New Year

 Happy New Year, hopefully hindsight is 2020
