This Thanksgiving was not very productive bird-wise, but this weekend provided opportunities for photography of natural subjects such as landscapes and plants. We usually stay at a cottage near Algonquin Park (around and hour away) in a region known as Kaszuby. It was the first Polish settlement in Canada, and the land is now dotted with cottages and some permanent homes. It is a very beautiful place with deep forest and many small lakes, so I think some of my photos came out:
 |
| Morning mist over Wadsworth Lake. |
 |
| My 2-year-old dog Amber running like a bunny. |
 |
| Frost over small plants and weeds after a cold night. |
 |
| Looking into the sun past trees. |
 |
| Unfortunately, one Dark-eyed Junco collided into a window by the cottage. |
 |
| Misty forest. |
 |
| Quilt of fall colours under cloudy sky at the end of Tom's Lookout Trail. |
Actually, it had just rained when I took this last picture. By the time we finished the trail and got back into the car, it was pouring rain. Driving back to the cottage was quite slippery, and we lost control of the mini-van and crashed into a ditch. The car was a little bit scratched, but we could not drive out. When we got the car towed, it was still working, so we did not need to fix it immediately. Driving around that same bend later that day, we saw that another car got stuck in that exact same ditch!
Overall, it was a nice weekend full of turkey dinners.
