Four Mile Bay Evening

Here is an evening photo looking across Four Mile Bay of Trout Lake.

New Liskard

A view from a friend's farm near New Liskard, ON.

Sagging Barn

This old barn near Astorville has seen better days, but it still has some life left in it.

Normal School, Stratford, ON

Very cool seeing this in Stratford. Ours in North Bay has been incorporated into a modern government building.

St. Clair Bridge

This is the west side under the St. Claire bridge near Yonge street in Toronto.

Ravine

This is a steep ravine with creek flowing in downtown Toronto near the Mount Pleasant Cemetery and St. Clair.

Clouds

There was lots of drama in the air this past week due to the fires and smoke from Parry Sound 33. Here's a shot over Trout Lake on July 27 before the smoke started to invade us.

Trout Lake Chairs

Now here's the spot to be in our heat wave.

Canada Day

Happy 151 Canada!

Summer Sky

It's really summer, and the summer sky is reflecting promise.

French River

This is a view from the beginning of the French River looking at Lake Nipissing. Lake Nipissing is the next biggest lake in Ontario after the Great Lakes. Its average depth is around 20 feet; although, there are many deeper areas. The French River is quite deep in some of its main channels measuring up to 330 feet in places. After the last ice age an incredible amount of water flowed through this area.

Tree Pollen

There sure is an abundance of tree pollen in our area this summer. It looks pretty dramatic on the water as opposed to how much of a nuisance it is on everything else; it's able to do what mosquitoes and other bugs can't do - pass through screens.

Four Mile Bay Sunset

It was a beautiful evening on Four Mile Bay yesterday, and it was a great Whiskey night aboard the "Fun Ship."

Clouds

Cool cloud formation seen as we were driving home on Highway 11 on Sunday afternoon.

Lake Nipissing May 9, 2018

This is a view of Lake Nipissing on May 9 with ice still on the lake. The lake was declared ice free yesterday May 16, 2018.

Red Pine

There was enough open water yesterday to take the canoe for a shoreline paddle. The wind was up, so it was much nicer in the sheltered bay.

Lake ice and Rain

Our lake is still far from being ice free.  Today's rainfall may help the melt.

Frozen Lake

The ice will be on Trout Lake for a while yet!

Slow Melt

There is still a lot of snow in the bush.
