It’s Beginning to Change

….not just the temperature and the amount of daylight hours

Last week I spent four days at the cottage. It was only my third visit of the season and next week I’ll do one more visit and close up for the winter. It’s been a strange cottage season for the lessees on Christian Island but I’ve enjoyed it non the less.

Even walking through the woods was prohibited but we were allowed to venture to the beach and up and down our lanes. I’m beginning to notice the signs that autumn and winter are on their way. When the winds start up the acorns land hard on our metal roof and make a loud bang. There’s not a lot of change in colour yet but there are signs everywhere that it won’t be long now.

This Little Guy Looks Lost

….when the waves are high you know that the conditions aren’t ideal for frogs

Even though Georgian Bay is a fresh water body of water it’s not home to many creatures that you would find on smaller lakes. The beach is sandy and there are no weedy areas for frogs to spawn or find food. So how did he get here?

Here’s what the water looked like the day we discovered this little guy.

August Photo a Day – Visitor

thanks to City Sonnets for hosting the August Photo a Day

The theme for August 10th was ‘visitor’.  While at the beach up at the cottage we were graced with the presence of this gull. He actually came quite close to where we were lounging. They’re a pretty fearless bird. I’m sure he was hoping we had some food to share with him.690-C8684-996-C-4-E67-8-B20-722-F15-A6105-D

Sunshine’s Macro Monday – August 10, 2020

I’m posting the photos taken from a distance first and then I will show you the macro shots. I was at the cottage for five days and had fun looking for macro subjects.84939-F0-C-D412-49-AD-B15-D-7-AD6-C76-E867-D 76874416-A0-C4-48-D1-90-B9-56-D88-CE916-BC C6-E86083-12-E2-483-D-A9-D7-2-D15-EFC1-EA12 7-CACF569-080-B-4-AEA-8-B11-10058-A34-D5-A8 9-BDD287-F-7-FFF-46-F0-B0-A2-A07309506298
