Were I in the market, I’d shop here!
After all, hunting season has started! Gotta get a move on.

Pine Grove
This grove of pines is found on the walking trails at Laurentian Ski Club.
The grove offers a place of quiet meditation in the midst of a busy city.

One Mile Bay Morning
One Mile Bay is very calm some mornings – almost dreamy, in fact.
Nice to be in the North!

Morning onTrout Lake
Flat calm, warm, unusual Thanksgiving Weekend weather. Fall is here in spades!
Most cottage owners have gone back to the city. They will feel badly that they are missing this.

Nostalgia
Here is a photo made in 1976 by the builder of the small log cabin whose remains appeared in yesterday’s post.
It was really quite an elegant structure! A lot of love went into it’s construction.

Early Settlers?
This trappers cabin is near our place. The roof is long gone but when it was built it was quite cozy and functional inside. The friend who owns the land built it in 1972 with the aid of a French Canadian wood carver of his acquaintance as an exercise in woodcraft. It served his children as a memory maker and fun place to be.
I have visited many times over the past years as it has slowly been deteriorating. A couple of years ago the top half of a hemlock tree fell on it and contributed to its derelict appearance.
It will be some time before it’s all on the ground but Mother Nature doesn’t own a watch.

Another Elegant Storefront
This is another of the really neat storefronts on North Bay’s Main Street.
Clean, elegant, uncluttered. The light fixtures and colour choices add a cool retro look and feel.

503
Visited Engine 503 today.
It is still bravely awaiting its refurbishing.

Urge to Decorate
The urge to decorate causes people to succumb to their artistic instinct in the fall. Perhaps the ready availabilty of brightly coloured items from nature is what fuels it.
I saw this today:
I must admit I’m partial to bright fall colours as well.

More Evidence…
…of the coming of Autumn is the reappearance of the road people.
This character, along with her brother, has been in hibernation for the past 11 months but has reappeared to honour the season. She stood here last year until after Hallowe’en when sleep must have overcome her and she nestled back into her den.
