Autumn has descended all too quickly for us in southern Ontario and while our summer annuals (those that haven't been chucked out for mums and kale) on on their last legs, the fall colours of our native deciduous trees and shrubs are peaking. Here are some reminders why I love our four seasons taken over our Thanksgiving weekend visit to my sister and my brother-in-law's cottage near Gravenhurst, ON:

  2. Hi Anon,

    it's always wonderful up there, even when it rains. Only caught a 2 lb largemouth bass but seen a huge pike cruising around the dock, would have like to landed that big guy!
