Monthly Archives: November 2009

This morning is the anomalous warm November day that sometimes arrives and is the last glorious sunny summery day before the cold gets here.  Four Mile Bay is not far from the house:

This is a combination of three photographs.

When this comes:

You’ll need this…

An abandoned sandpit on the escarpment is an interesting place.  It is almost desert-like in parts.

The local four-wheelers have a great time here.

Wild roses grow by a neighbour’s driveway.

The colours that have developed as autumn has advanced stand out on a gray day like yesterday.  Almost prettier than the roses of summer.

I visited Sweetman’s Garden yesterday.  It is waiting for winter after an active and stunning summer.

The old wheelbarrow is in its autumn years as well:

May you rest well over the winter.

Wassi Lake is a small body of water to the south of my town.

Surrounded by farms, it was the first lake in the area to report Blue-Green Algae blooms this summer.  Quite toxic.  No swimming or using the water from the lake.

Looks great though, doesn’t it?

Farther down the lakeshore is Sunset Point.  On Saturday the big waves were rolling in and making splashes:

Yesterday the winds were blowing hard on Lake Nipissing.

It was cold too!
