New places....

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”  ~Lauren DeStefano

Boat trip on Temagami Lake - last day....

The last day was probably the nicest.  I woke up to calm mirror like water.  There was a fog hanging  just over the water.  My friend and I took out the paddle boat and stayed on the water for over an hour.  It was so calm and hypnotizing.  I know that in the future, when I am having a down day, I will look at these and remember the beauty and calmness I felt.

Boat trip on Lake Temagami - day two

Our second day on the water was amazing.  Beautiful skies, with a bit of rain at times. The water was so clear and cool.  I loved looking at the effect the water had on the rocks, the designs and colors.  No matter where you look, there is beauty in everything nature has to offer us - whether it be the sky at sunset, the water, the beaver and its dam, or the rocks in the water.  I love nature!!

Boat trip on Lake Temagami - day one

A few weeks ago, I got to spend 4 days and 3 nights on Lake Temagami.  The days were spent on a house boat and on land.  I saw beautiful scenery, gorgeous sunsets and starry skies.  Being in nature like that with no cell phones, computers, or televisions was wonderful. The only sounds were the waves hitting the boat, birds chirping, loon calls, wind in the trees, and camp fires - oh and I cannot forget the buzzing of misquitoes...lol.

Sunset

Just breathtaking.....  I had to stop and try to capture what I saw, and wow!  What a sight!

The moon

It's not everyday you can get a nice picture of the moon, especially when the sky is often full of clouds.

Beauty isn't always at eye level - it can by high in the sky, or hiding among blades of grass.  I love nature :)

Flowers

I think my favorite time of the year is when the flowers bloom.  We get to see all the beautiful colors and smell the wonderful sweet scents.  I love spring!
