What fun you had camping and canoeing in such lush and colourful surroundings! Quiet time, courageous, splashy dives and striking species of birds, ducks and loons, I'm sure, made it worth the drive into this dreamy world, worthy of novels! Thanks for taking us along and sharing the wonder!<br /><br />xx<br />PoppyPoppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08980323586402386609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-34189542829956825592014-07-12T07:32:02.646-04:002014-07-12T07:32:02.646-04:00Wendy, your photos of Fananoque are absolutely bea...Wendy, your photos of Fananoque are absolutely beautiful.

I LOVED the shot of the loon. When i was a girl we spent lots of time in Minnesota and there were so many loons. I just love them!

It sure is nice to see more of the area through your lens.<br />Our youngest daughter and family have a trailer similar to yours and just love taking off for various parks on the weekend. I think Arrowhead is one of their favourites.<br />I've been keeping an eye on our ospreys and young but can't get the angle for shots like you have - very nice!Judith @ Lavender Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16361061491506137380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-27651520028444197612014-07-11T17:49:27.136-04:002014-07-11T17:49:27.136-04:00Oh wow Wendy your photo's are amazing what a f...Oh wow Wendy your photo's are amazing what a fantastic place, I don't know what you are talking about when you say you don't do anything exciting or write as well as others, your posts are always lively and full of interest, my life seems dull in comparison, would you believe I have never been camping apart from a caravan holiday as a child if that counts lol. I agree the Hobbit was the ideal book to read in those surroundings and I think you were very brave to fall into the water, I think I would have been like your hubby and just put my feet in. Have a great weekend. :) xxlindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139295265567390855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-25567892551416476992014-07-11T17:15:39.264-04:002014-07-11T17:15:39.264-04:00What an amazing trip.

It sounds like this new one is very stable since it handled the wind and waves so well. If there had been a snake in my camp site I would have vacated. Immediately.

I love nothing better that to be in nature, it's very frustrating that I can't go on long country walks anymore. Love the fresh air, eating my lunch sat on a rock somewhere, the sights and sounds of Mother Nature....refreshes the soul! :) xVintage Sheet Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16027266547200808397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-13385670756954206992014-07-11T03:38:53.447-04:002014-07-11T03:38:53.447-04:00What a stunningly beautiful place and all the bett...What a stunningly beautiful place and all the better for being captured in your photographs!! The pictures of the ospreys and the sunset are beyond wonderful Wendy, indeed all of your animal/bird pictures are amazing. You do also write beautifully and gave such a great description, I really felt as though I was walking/paddling along with you and you were chatting away as we went. So glad that the new canoe and you bonded, it sounds as though although the return journey home in the wild weather was tricky it made you very confident in the abilities of the new canoe! That floating bridge is a very unusual structure, I hope that they get it fixed as it must be great to walk over with some wonderful views. I loved everything about this post, especially how happy you sound! xxxxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-9203136208618985872014-07-11T00:32:09.642-04:002014-07-11T00:32:09.642-04:00Oh, how beautiful!

I can't tell you how nostalgic this blog post has made me for my childhood home in New England - the little ferny glens, the water-lily ponds, the gorgeous pines and rock outcrops - they just bring me back to that time. What an amazing place and so nice to see all the birds (especially the loon), and the views of the water. The sunset photos are amazing. I so enjoyed seeing these and so glad you had a lovely, relaxing time. xo KarenKaren @ Beatrice Euphemiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08631972741518142563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4062746784364845999.post-81614449601497564202014-07-11T00:05:54.557-04:002014-07-11T00:05:54.557-04:00Your photos are amazing.

Everything looks very wild and secluded. Love the close-ups of the ospreys. The sunset is stunning! Glad you enjoyed your new canoe. I remember the old heavy ones!Deborah Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04366855994841922862noreply@blogger.com
