Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas, but this scene is from last year.  We have no snow or ice this year;  although, I'm sure we will see winter conditions soon.

The Sterling Bank of Canada

Not sure if the Sterling Bank of Canada folks ever envisioned Pizza Pizza as the "marquis" business in their building in downtown Toronto in the 21st century.

Mural

Cool wall mural on Church Street in Toronto.

Toronto

Country mouse goes to the city and spends a lot of time looking up, way up.

Autumn Reflection

This is an autumn reflection photo of Four Mile Bay taken last month.  There is no colour now as all the leaves are down.

Garage Doors

There's nothing like a stroll downtown Toronto and checking out the back alleys and laneways.  These are some smart looking garage doors.

Gold

The fall weeds in the water look rich and golden.

Four Mile Bay. Oct. 27, 2015

This is a panorama photo of Four Mile Bay, looking north, that I took yesterday.  Yesterday was an awesome autumn day.

Fall Day on the Lake

I took the final cruise of the season yesterday on the Fortuitous as I was taking the boat off the lake for the winter.

Mazinaw Lke

This is the view of the small bay on Mazinaw Lake my pal Mike's cottage is on.  The drive there and back from North Bay to Pembroke and down Highway 41 was spectacular!

Thanksgiving Monday

It's a beautiful Thanksgiving Monday.  Marsha and I went for a paddle along the lake to check out the fall colours and enjoy the warmth.

Fall Cottage

One of the original cottages on an island on our lake shows off the fall colours.

Monster Hosta

This perennial monster hosta was bigger than anticipated this year as half of it was cut out and given to a neighbour.

Abandoned

Not sure of the meaning of the tag here, but the building appears t be unused and ripe for vandalization.

Gordon Lightfoot

Great show - Gordon Lightfoot - Aug. 28, 2015 at the Capital Center in North Bay; we were 2nd row, dead center.

Lake Mazinaw

This is a view straight up the cliffs at Lake Mazinaw - about 300 feet straight up, and the drop is pretty much exactly the same straight down below the surface of the water.

The Mazinaw cliffs also have a number of petroglyphs that date back to hundreds of years before the North American invasion by white men.

August Sky

August clouds are always dramatic.

Lake Mazinaw

Had a great Home Alone getaway on Lake Mazinaw this week - great location, friends, weather, fun!

Summer Heat Sunset

Saturday evening sunset on Trout Lake - beauty day, hot hot hot.

Summer in the Park, North Bay, Aug. 1, 2015

This is a missed shot of the stage set up and background for the Burton Cummings concert on Saturday night - great show!
