This is the final post of a three-part series of photos taken during our September visit to the cottage. If all works out as planned, you're reading a scheduled post, and I'm back at the cottage for what is probably the last time this year. So please keep in mind that if I've not been to your blog, or answered your kind comments in mine, I'll be back soon, and do my best to catch up. Thanks for your understanding and particularly for coming by for a visit even when I'm not here. Pour yourself a drink - whatever you prefer, and make yourself comfortable. I'll see you in a few days.The following photos were taken during the evening hours - though not necessarily on the same day.
The late day sun casts its golden glow into the woods behind the cottage.
Nearby, Benny bravely attacks approaching waves.
Ultimately, he rescues this birch branch - perfect for stripping to its bare wood.
Some evenings, we sat by the fire and watched the sunset.
The sky was ablaze with colour.
A delicious mixed drink warmed our bellies.
A view from the cottage.
The end of a perfect day.

Ah, lovely.
Hope you're having a wonderful time!
Hilary, you take some gorgeous photos, girl. And the view from your cabin is just priceless!
Peace - D
Hilary - That was me responding in that last comment. The computer had kept my son's cookie active. So...just letting you know...D
Love, love, love the golden glow pic. Made me want to explore those woods.
These pictures made me so excited to visit our cabin this weekend. I can't tell you how similar the area looks to where our cabin is in these pics.
Beautiful sky shots!
Gorgeous, Hil! You always strike the perfect balance between beauty and humour (Benny is adorable!)
Happy Thanksgiving!
As always, a magnificent oasis in my day. Benny has his own agenda, eh? :-)
Ahhh .. that was so nice .. especially the drink .. and the sunset ... perfection!

What you posted is my ultimate dream vacation. Majestic skies, golden sunlight, the quiet lapping of water and that adirondak chair silhouette...perfection.
Enjoy your time Hilary.
Happy Thanksgiving, Hilary and Frank, not forgetting that rascal Benny of course!
May your tummies be full of turkey dinner and pumpkin pie all washed down with spiced chai.... :-)
What a great space. That looks like it would be heaven just to sit and look at over the water. Sunny skies this weekend for you all and great pics for us in the future.
your pics are instants relaxants for me, Hilary! continue to have a blissful time....:)
Wow! Great images! The idea of sitting by the water with a nice fire and sharing a good drink and conversation ... it doesn't get any better than that.
Take care.
I'm jealous. I admit it. I love this cottage.
Those are fantastic shots. There is not one I could single out. I hope you are having a fabulous time.
These are stunning Hilary! My favourite is number six, but they are all wonderful. I have to admire you for being able to capture a Jack Russell so clearly and not just get a blur of action. :)
Those colors in the sky are outstanding... you were so fortunate to capture it... what an amazing glow.
Can I come and live there with you? I'm adoptable. :)
Have a great trip. Love the pics.
Thank you, I just had a mini vacation. It was delightful!

Hilary,
These posts are killing me. I love the woods and lakes and rivers! How I want to go somewhere sweet and sit by a campfire with a nice glass of red wine!
I hope you are as being refreshed as it appears the place would make you!
amazing. thank you for another fantastic glimpse on your part of the world. great job as always.
Hi Hillary. I have just found your blog from Photowannabe's site. I love your photos and the magical way that you use the sunlight! Brilliant! - Dave
Gorgeous shots!
Lovely shots, Hilary!
Sunsets are always so beautiful to watch.
I imagine heaven looks something like this...
Those are absolutely gorgeous. I want to squeeze that Benny. And then take a sip of that drink on the deck;)
Fantastic photos!
There is nothing more spectacular than a sunset...I just luv that pup! But don't tell my 2 guys that...Now, I want to go camping next weekend!!
Is that a canoe? Do I see a canoe? Did you know that the canoe was on the list to be voted one of the Seven Wonders of Canada?
Your blog is always so wonderful, and so Canadian!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!
Your evening pictures have such beautiful light. Benny looks especially dashing in the gold drenched lighting.
Incredibly beautiful pictures, I love sunsets.
A HOT PEPPER for me, please ... and since no one is taking the best from that chair ... thank you, I will take a seat on it ... :)
Great photos.
How beautiful! Wish I was sitting in that chair right now!!!
Good to see you are back from your travels safe and sound. Wasn't that a fantastic Thanksgiving weekend? So warm and sunny. And today I see a grey sky and leaves blowing horizontally across my window!
• Thanks for stopping by, Gary. :)
• Thanks, AddHumorAndFaith. We sure did. :)

• Thanks, EH, Jo! I did not know that about the canoe. I do now, thanks to you. I see it's in good company along with the Rockies, Niagara Falls, Prairie Skies, Old Quebec City, Pier 21 in Halifax and the igloo. You're a wealth of information. Thanks for stopping by. :)

Oh these were just so serene Hilary. Again, Benny warms my heart as does that sunset chair photo. SO LOVELY!
Beautiful Hilary! That last shot of the chair....WOW!!!
You'd love our Aussie skies too ...
