For many years we cottaged on the shore of the Georgian Bay, then moved there permanently after I retired from teaching. We exlored the islands by canoe and in our Catalina 22 foot sailboat, which gave me the opportunity to capture wonderful scenes of rocks, flowers, water, sky and pines. Here is a selection from all seasons, beginning with the red Peterborough canoe we used on our honeymoon in Algonquin Park.
