A short while back, Frank and I spent a few days up at his cottage. The company was good, though the fishing was mildly disappointing.The weather was mostly fine despite a strong summer storm which arrived just as we did - making a wet task of unpacking the car. However the sun shone for much of the rest of our stay.
We had a wonderful opportunity to see plenty of wildlife - some of which was only semi-wild. I'll post more about the creatures next time but today, just sit back and relax on the deck, dock or hammock. I hope you enjoy your visit. Please remember to click on each image to enlarge.
We arrived to discover a couple of new additions to the lakefront - this pair of colourful hammocks, which I'd remembered from my childhood cottage life as difficult to maneuver. A first attempt at getting settled down in one of them was easier than I'd recalled. It was comfy. (please click to enlarge)
Very comfy! (please click to enlarge)
And they made for a colourful foreground against the beautiful sunsets we experienced most evenings. (please click to enlarge)
Like this one which was actually photographed from the boat as an evening of fishing came to an end. (please click to enlarge)
After the last worm had been sacrificed to the lake, we secured the hooks to the rods and headed back to the cottage under golden skies. (please click to enlarge)
And peachy mauve skies. (please click to enlarge)
Of course Benny was waiting for us faithfully. We tried taking him on the boat with us but he was like a canine pinball machine. He bopped back and forth between us, jumped from lap to lap, barked at each cast, bit the rods, almost jumped in the lake (again) and refused to settle down. So that was his first and last boat ride - for this visit anyway. (please click to enlarge)
Once we were back, and the boat was secured, it was time to sit back and enjoy a drink on the dock. (please click to enlarge)
So dangle your feet, or grab a chair and a drink, and sit back and enjoy the sky. (please click to enlarge)
It's as yummy as it looks. (please click to enlarge)
Goodnight! (please click to enlarge)I'll be back in a few days with various animal photos. See you then.
