Winter Sunsets

I was just complaining about winter and bam suddenly despite a snowstorm the other night Spring seems to have sprung...things are dripping, the crows are cawing & the chipmunks have woken up.

I want winter to be over for our wild hare Iris...I want it for the rabbits who are so so bored inside.

But I like the quiet winter brings, the lesser chores outside...the gorgeous finger chilling sunsets!

Strawberry Sweet

Just a day back in the summer when we went strawberry picking.

What's your favorite thing about picking your own strawberries???

I love the drive with my sweet honey, the tractor ride out to the fields and

finishing off a whole basket together on the ride back home to the buns.

Paddling In The Forest

This was a paddle down one of my favorite kayaking routes, super close to where we live. 

We were able to paddle into the forest, usually not accessible because the whole river was flooded.

A Favorite Paddle With Bald Eagles!

This is the lake by our house.  We launch our boats here on days that we want to stay close to town.

This day out kayaking was AMAZING because guess what!?

We actually saw TWO AMERICAN BALD EAGLES....holy #(#*!!!

We've never ever seen these kind of birds here, apparently they do come this far North now & than.

It amazes me how different each time out paddling can be.  All the beauty we see.

(check out that super cool orange lichen covered island...magic...and the water lilies...magic again!)

Unfortunately the water was quite choppy that day so we couldn't get super close or super clear photos of the two eagles but it is going down for sure as one of my favorite paddles ever.

A Part Of Lake Nipissing

This lake near our home and my studio has been a part of our lives for as long as we can remember.

We can't venture far because of the bunnies but with this at our doorstep one doesn't really need to!

Part Of A Lake

We spend a lot of time exploring the big lake closest to our home, we grew up around/on this lake
(we now take our niece with us and I think I see her slowly falling under it's spell too).

With our four beautiful seasons and how it changes with each one, I don't think we'll ever tire of it!
(P.S. Can I just say that these are some of my very most favorite new photos).

Still Some Snowy Spring Shots

Still a couple of snowy/spring posts...

Taking our niece to eat lunch at another of our favorite spots.

Sun & Snow

My niece, honey and I ventured out on the ice again just a few weeks ago...

we love exploring quiet, uncrowded nature-scapes and it was such a beautiful Spring day.

It's always so amazing to be walking across a vast snow and ice covered landscape...

only to know that in a few short months we'll be back here paddling in our trusty kayaks.  I love it.
