A Few Weeks Back

This was a few weeks back, before Betty-Loo died...

We were just out doing our usual ice melting Spring explorations.

Just Us & Ice

Everything is lovely & summery & green now but here's another post from a few weeks back...

Us and the Spring melt with our new Canon D750 which is way to heavy but super awesome!

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!

Marten Lake

We got out in our boats a lot before Min passed...after Min passed we just didn't feel like it.

This was a perfect day out on beautiful Marten lake, North of us, earlier on this summer...

It was one of those lovely meandering kind of paddles, one of those 'hey what's that over there" days.

I bobbed for a long while with binoculars (getting quite wave-sick!) watching a loon & her baby. 

Sunsets & Smiles

It's been a rollercoaster 4+ months...

My niece will probably kill me for posting this photos but I just can't help it, I love them...
They are just so representative our of our time together these past weeks...

Just us hanging out, dealing with stressful things, soaking in sunsets,
goofing around and making each other smile...I am still 110% sure I made the right choice in
never having kids but that doesn't mean that I don't love this kid to the moon and back XOXO.

Gorgeousness & Waves

I get my butt to the beach as often as I can, sometimes it's daily, if my head cooperates enough...

besides the incredible beauty of it all...I also sit there and appreciate that gorgeous guy of mine XO
