An Evening Walk in Canadian Cottage Country

Love the galvanized metal and tuquoise against the grey stones.

I always love to catch a glimse of other parts through the blogs I read.  I thought you may like to see some photos of Georgian Bay.  You can sail from Lake Huron right over to Georgian Bay and come have tea on the cottage porch.  So you Michigan readers, that's an invitation. You can come for tea of you arrive by car too.!

I took all of these photos on my evening walk, when the lighting has an odd vibrancy, making the colors sharp and almost glowy.

Looking out to the point.  The dimming sun makes everthing grey.  Around the point a little is the Cape Croker Indian Reserve....one of the most beautiful pieces of land around.  Next time I go I will take photos.

The homeowners make paths of large rocks so they can walk down to the lake.

This was Canada Day weekend.....I think this guys needs a new flag.  It looks like he is on a deserted island and hung his boxers on a tree.!

A good old fashioned row boat....

This old floating dock looked so vibrant against the rocks....

A path of wildflowers beckons to the lake...

All along the beach, people have fashioned seating and campfires from the wood and rocks...I love these primitive little benches..

I try to carry one rock back each time I walk for my garden...

This is the best spot for star gazing at night because it is so dark...this little row of trees creep me out at night....they look like people...

It was almost dark, but this delphinium was almost glowing in the dusk....no flash used.

The view from my favorite cottage..

And this is my favorite cottage.....an old farmhouse with stone chimney and a wrap around porch.

You can follow this trail from Niagara Falls to Tobormory...

Back at the docks, the boats are coming in for the night....

Mama duck watching out over her young.  I love how the masts create "Ribbons" on the water.

I hope you enjoyed the scenery. I took some photos of some of the cottages too, and will post them another day.  I hope everyone had a good 4th of July and Canada Day here in Canada and the US, and your summers are off to a good start. (Sorry my Aussie friends....not trying to make you feel bad.  Remember, when we are in the dead of Winter, we are reading all of your summer posts)
