Nature's Abstract

 

Just after sunset at the Pinery Provincial Park, Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada

 

SOOC, all I did was crop it. Clouds, not smoke,

 and the two vertical black lines are contrail remnants.

My computer has gone in for repairs, so this will be my last post until it gets home.

OOPS!

I was so intent on photographing the reflections on the boat windows, that I didn't notice I had cut off the GL from the word GLASS!

 

Fathom Five National Marine Park is a National Marine Conservation Area in the Georgian Bay part of Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada, that seeks to protect and display shipwrecks and lighthouses, and conserve freshwater ecosystems. You can take a GLass bottom tour from Tobermory, to view the shipwrecks.

Morning Shore Birds

 

Early mornings on the cottage deck, with tea and camera in hand.

A delight to see these birds every morning.

A Lovely Surprise

We have not seen as many Monarch butterflies as usual over the summer,

 in our yard in SW Ontario. So I was very happy to see...

 Lot's of Monarchs at the cottage, on the Bruce Peninsula!

A perfect end to a perfect summer.

Summer's End

 

"All good things must come to an end". 

 A wonderful summer spent in the company of my granddaughter, 

at home and the cottage.

 

It's back to school for her tomorrow, and back to the daily routines for me.

 

Last night at the cottage (Cape Hurd, Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada)

 

Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.
