HWW Everyone.
Looking out into the lake from Coleen's back yard (through the marble) while on our wonderful time together in Ontario.
This time there was no smoke...
In 1827, The Purdy's, an American family, built a dam on the Scugog River at the site of present-day Lindsay. The following year they built a sawmill and in 1830, a grist mill was constructed. A small village grew up around the mills and it was known as Purdy's Mills. 134
Built in 1886 and opened in 1887 for a parish dating to 1835, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church has long been a fixture in the community.
With its 75 foot-high tower housing the Orville Locke Memorial Carillon, St. Andrew’s is for many a beacon of hope in Lindsay’s busy downtown. The church operates a twice-monthly Sunday supper and hosts a community soup kitchen, which operates three days a week between September and June..
Lindsay is a community of 20,354 people (2011 census)[1] on the Scugog River in the Kawartha Lakes region of south-eastern Ontario, Canada. It is approximately 43 km (27 mi) west of Peterborough. It is the seat of the City of Kawartha Lakes (formerly Victoria County), and the hub for business and commerce in the region. 134
The Lindsay Lock allows access from the main navigation channel to Lake Scugog. The lock station is located centrally in the Town of Lindsay. Boaters who wish to navigate beyond Lindsay should note that there is a fixed bridge with a 3.7 metre (12ft) clearance and that the channel depths vary greatly throughout the season.

Last night we ran out to go see a couple of donkeys in a field, and we all decided to post one of our donkey images. The sun was just starting to set and the light was golden. See Sarah's image here: www.flickr.com/photos/sarahfraser63/18281509588/in/datepo...; Coleens's image here: www.flickr.com/photos/115634974@N05/18446493571/in/datepo...; and Monique's image here: www.flickr.com/photos/rockinmonique/18445345336/in/datepo...

The weather was mostly clear last night so went out for a stars shot. Was hoping Scugog lake was a good place but the light pollution was still too severe.
Stacked 4 shots to minimize noises.
Last night Coleen came in yelling "get in the car, get in the car" - so naturally we did! She had found a field of donkeys in the evening sunlight, which was absolutely stunning. We are all posting a different part - I got the legs!!!

It's the end of our wonderful week together, and I'm on my way home early tomorrow morning. The four of us really bonded and I will miss them immensely, but we will keep our friendship forever. I found this old suitcase in a junk shop we visited that we absolutely loved. To see more of our behind the scenes of our time together, we have a separate Flickr account for that with some very funny commentaries.

CITY OWAYSEUG
Artist: Luke Swinson (@lukeswinsonart)
Photographer: Taylor Jones (@someone)
Location: Gaukel Street (between Joseph and Charles Street)
Medium: Mixed media mural
Luke Swinson is a visual artist with Anishinaabe roots from Kitchener, Ontario. A member of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation, Luke’s work reflects his desire to better understand and reclaim his Indigenous culture. He seeks to promote cultural education and preservation through his art projects.
City Owayseug which means “city animals” in Anishinaabemowin is a reminder, in the heart of the city, of the relationship and responsibility we have to nature.
Using the street as a canvas, Swinson’s art contributes to an evolving transition of Gaukel Street into a pedestrian-first street and public space.

Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Lake Scugog is an artificially flooded lake in Scugog, Regional Municipality of Durham and the unitary city of Kawartha Lakes in central Ontario, Canada. It lies between the communities of Port Perry and Lindsay. The lake has been raised and lowered several times over its history. Though not technically part of the Kawartha lakes due to its shallow depths, it is often geographically linked to them. Its sole outflow, the Scugog River, connects to Sturgeon Lake. Lake Scugog is in the Great Lakes Basin and forms part of the Trent–Severn Waterway.
