We continue along Lake Huron through a string of quaint coastal towns; kincardine may be one of the quaintest! Another harbour, another lighthouse, and another beach. Kincardine, originally names Penetangore after the river that flows nearby is known for its colourful rocks beach. It's especially beautiful after the rain at sunset, but the photo below … Continue reading Kincardine, Ontario
You may remember our recent post, Nostalgia. We since had a visitor join us for some desert fun. The talented hostage worked his photoshopping magic here and I think it's awesome. Our weekly shoutout is to Fat Cow Co, if you like memes, go check them out. And if you like puns you should check … Continue reading We Just Couldn’t Resist
As we meandered along the Canadian side shore of Lake Huron, we reached the sleepy Point Clark cottage community. Just south of Kincardine, this National Heritage Site is home to one of the six Ontario Imperial Towers. Unfortunately, but as expected, the museum in the restored lighthouse keeper's home remains Covid-closed. Fortunately though, the plaques … Continue reading Point Clark and the Imperial Towers
During our month-long stay in Port Elgin, Ontario, we made a few day trips to Southampton, the next town north. If you missed our previous posts about this lovely place, take a look at The Shoreline and Fairy Lake, or you can just keep on reading. Southampton Market Our first stop was at the Southampton … Continue reading Saugeen Shores – In and Around Southampton
At times, a photo is a suggestion for something else. For example, when taking a photo during sunset, I rarely take a photo of the sun setting. I usually turn the other way since that is where the drama is happening. Still, there is a suggestion that there is a sunset somewhere around me. In … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] – The Photo Behind The Photo
Okay, it’s not what you think... despite the new lockdown and stay-at-home orders for Ontario, which may result in a baby boom. I am talking about Procreate, the drawing program for iPad. I know that we are behind with our Ontario travel posts, but my attention is on this unbelievably awe-inspiring and magical app. The … Continue reading Coronavirus Diaries — Procreate
We were in the middle of dinner when Tony asked “Can you pass me a spoon?” “A teaspoon, or a tablespoon.” I reached into the drawer waiting for his reply. “Uh...a tablespoon of course” he laughed. This exchange started a heated debate at the dinner table. When someone says a spoon and there is no … Continue reading It’s a divided world
As we wait in cold Ontario during a second lockdown, we can't help but reminisce. We enjoy our travels through Ontario, but we miss the desert. We miss long-haul campervan travel, and we miss Emma. This photo was taken 2 years ago in Quartzsite, Arizona where we had all three and no idea what the … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Nostalgia
Those who live in snowy climates know the feeling when you drive directly into a snow storm and can't see anything ahead. Snow flakes twirling in darkness and you feel as if you are floating. In reality, you are driving ahead towards a head-on collision with a moose. The rest of you, think dense fog … Continue reading [One Photo At A Time] Vanishing Point
