Occasionally Lake Nipissing is calm and tranquil.
One day last week, it was.
Summer Extension
Generally in this part of the world, the door to Summer is considered to close on Labour Day Weekend.
Occasionally Mother Nature forgets and leaves it wide open for another week or so.
When that happens, gloriously calm and luxurious afternoons occur.
The illusion that this will continue forever is strong, despite the certain knowledge that it can’t come true.
Lake Nipissing shows itself at its best during these special times.

It’s A Wetland Not A Swamp
Good for the soul,
Not useless.
To be preserved,
Not filled in.

Spring In The Wetland
Land with water in it used to be call “swamp”. When I was growing up, a swamp had little value.
Over the years, education has changed the minds of many and along with the change in thinking, the term “wetland” has replaced the word “swamp”.
The values of wetland are still being established in the consciousness of society, particularly those members whose minds are ruled by the economy.
Here are two sights with great visual and emotional value that wetlands provide.

Doesn’t seem to matter.

Have been very lazy posting for the past months. A light prod from a friend has tightened my resolve to do more here.

New Snow On Moffat’s Path
A trail near my house which I have named Moffat’s Path after the owner of the land, looks good all year round.
After a fresh snowfall it looks spectacular.

Happy New Year 2022
2021 was not the best of years for many.
One word characterizes the unhappy situation – Covid.
May 2022 be better for all and may we learn again to live with uncertainty.
