Come on into our Blog for a look at the wonderful world we've got to share! With over 240 hectares (600 acres) of wilderness woodlands surrounding the resort, just ten minutes from Algonquin Park, we feature over 400 metres (1200’) of waterfront and beach; boat rentals; summer hiking trails winding through fields and woods; 20 km. of groomed cross country ski trails and snowshoeing in winter; access to nearby snowmobile trails for sledders, and a toboggan hill for the young at heart.

Lake on Fire




I had to drop everything but the camera this afternoon and run down to the shore to catch the sunset.


One of the lesser known benefits of November is the quality of the sunsets we are blessed to enjoy.


Offset by the snow along the shore and on the raft, the lakes were ablaze with fiery colours.



I wasn't alone at the lake enjoying the view.






A small flock of buffleheads drew a line of fire in their wake as they crossed the bay. It was quite extraordinary how the ripple they left caught the sunset colours. They kept this fiery wake after they moved out of the reflection of the trees -- although at that point it was a lot easier to see the ducks themselves!


The thing about sunsets is how fleeting the colours are -- they change constantly, so I took plenty of photos!





It is such a beautiful world we live in. Amazing how it can be all cool whites and blues in the afternoon, and suddenly turn into this blaze of reds, mauves, oranges, even if only briefly.
It's a reminder that we should always be ready to take a moment, stop, be quiet, and let our souls catch up.

  1. Sigh ... Beautiful pictures and beautiful words. While I am grateful not to have all of your white stuff to contend with here in Toronto, I must say that I am totally taken with your lakeside sunsets.
