Well it was just a week ago I was talking of a short fall, but we’ve had some amazing weather continue on and this past weekend was no exception with sunny skies and temperatures well into the mid 20’s!! I took a stroll through the park and saw everything from people playing football in shorts and shirtless to kites in the skies. Not much more you can ask for into the second week of October. I hope it continues on!
Fall was short this year. It got cold quick and that combined with some real windy days took care of most of the autumn leaves. I was able to get out a little bit over the past couple weeks to grab some shots though. Maybe the last outdoors ones for a while. Welcome winter!
I just got back this week from a few days out at the Experimental Lakes Area for some R&R and a canoe trip with my buddy Mark. Its a government research area consisting of about 60 lakes in southern Ontario. I had a good visit with the family and did a couple days canoe trip with Mark portaging across 3 lakes. That was quite the adventure carrying everything we needed on our backs, but it was a fantastic time.
With some time off we headed to clear lake for a few days camping. I was disappointed not to see much in the way of wildlife apart from the bear that hung around the campsite for a couple days. The bugs were terrible and it rained a bit but overall it was a great break and was able to grab a few shots.
Time for some needed R&R. I took a trip out to the Whiteshell yesterday and hiked MgGillvary Falls. It was a beautiful hike, and only saw 2 other people the whole time out there. It wasn’t what I would call an easy walk carrying my camera gear, but manageable, and the weather complied which was great!!
