A nice hearty layer of snow covers Alpena, Michigan early on in the winter season at the mouth of the Thunder Bay River.
I am home at the moment, as Jim has returned to Southampton hospital...... but he will likely be re-admitted to the Owen Sound hospital next week. He's in good spirits and determined to get better ( he cannot walk at present....)
I still do not have time for spending on Flickr...but I am happy to be at home...thank you for your continuing good wishes.
Horseshoe Bay colour, just south of Southampton. Chantry Island and its lighthouse can be seen on the horizon.
Another evening paddle, another wondrous sunset. This is the first in a number of shots from the outing that are likely to be processed and posted ... love it when there are a number of 'keepers'
A few minutes after the previous post was taken the Trumpeter Swans on the floating ice fell fast asleep as they drifted into a flock of Mallards. They totally missed the passing of a Mute Swan that was coming in from the upper right. Beyond the Mute Swan is another swan motoring along while asleep and oblivious of its course (you can see a small wake). Two more Mallards join the crowd and a Golden-eye duck was there, also, but outside the picture frame. Lake Huron, Michigan.

the warm breezes were blowing hard enough to force her to hold onto her hat. The reflected sunlight danced along the top of the water as the day began to draw to a close. It was another beautiful summer's day.
The Bernt Gilbertson St. Joseph Island Bridge opened in 1972. The bridge spans Lake Huron’s North Channel, connecting St. Joseph Island to the rest of Northern Ontario via Highway 548. The bridge replaced a ferry service operated by the Province of Ontario: the ferry was in service from 1953 to 1972 and was named the “St. Joseph Islander.” The bridge crosses Bamfort Island, Twyning Islands, and Munroe Islands. The bridge’s curved main span is made of structural steel box girders resting upon seven inverted trapezoidal reinforced concrete supports. In 1994 the bridge was officially named after Bernt Gilbertson, a local maple syrup entrepreneur, island resident, and a member of Ontario's legislature (1967-1975) who was instrumental in the bridge’s creation.

I was browsing through some older shots and found this one taken a few summers ago. I recall how this one cloud formation seemed to fill the entire sky so all I could do was capture as much as the wide angle could get in.
Fun after guiding people through the community restored this lightkeeper's house.... Open to the public now, for about ten years.... Cared for by volunteers only......
And image messed up by me, with Snapseed app.
Knowing that summer is slowly coming to an end, I watched the sailboat go across the water as the sun disappeared over the horizon, bringing this summer day to an close.
on an early morning walk I ran into these two dudes and asked them to pose for me and they graciously agreed. They were polite but seemed to be in a hurry to scamper off somewhere.

We experienced several storms in out two weeks of camping. By the end of our stay the stretch of beach you see where was under water. This is a morning shot taken earlier in our stay
The 2019 version of my annual calendar. Hopefully, with no printing issues this year, it will be available by the beginning of December.
The idea behind 'Through the Seasons' is to have each month represented by an image shot the same month in a prior year.For the 2019 version, all images were shot in 2017.
Georgian Bay has 1200 miles of shoreline and is part of Lake Huron, in the distance is Collingwood and the Blue Mountains.
