Red Bay





























I am sure you can tell why they call this Red Bay. We were gifted the use of a fabulous cottage in Red Bay on Lake Huron (one of Ontario's Great Lakes) for a week. We've been coming here for over 10 years, and have come to love this area, and bought a cottage on the other side of the peninsula a few years ago. After selling our cottage (you can see that HERE) last year, I have missed coming up to The Bruce Peninsula so much. I loved the drive up through the countryside stopping at Dars Delights for Cornish Pasties and the Williamsford Pie Company for rhubarb pies, and the many, many stops along the way to photograph cows. So when we were offered this cottage for the week, we leaped at the chance. The lake in this bay is warm and shallow and it is quite a hike out to get past your knees. At night we climb up to the tree house and watch the sun set from the balcony. Every night it's pretty well the same and pretty well different too. It's a tradition up here to gather outside at sunset with wine or coffee and watch it plunge into the milky lake.

  1. Chania, that looks lovely. I love the Lake Huron area, I had a friend whose parents had a cottage there and it was just beautiful. Those pictures of the sunset make relax and wish it wasn't 9am and too early for a nice glass of wine. Ann

  2. You climbed up to a tree house to view this? That sounds pretty much perfect, Chania. These are beautiful images. Would love to visit that part of Ontario, one of these years.

  5. Oh wow, Chania - those pictures of the sun setting are fabulous. When the sun goes down, doesn't it all happen quickly - one minute you see it and then it's all gone. You've captured it all with your camera so well.

  6. Oh I miss Lake Huron. I grew up in Michigan and my oldest friend lives in Port Huron. I go and visit every few years. Really the water is warm?

    As I recall there are also cherries.....
