SHARING SOME PHOTOS.

See the cute duck family, my DS not only feeds
the hummers, also a few duck families.

The come a few times a day, she feeds them cracked
corn and bread, they are so cute..

A little hummer looking right at me :O)
I took so many pics of the hummers, will post
a few later..

Gorgeous Lilly pads and flower, I love them, on the drive
up north is ponds along the highway filled with them...

Can you see the sun and clouds in the water..

Love the shadows reflected in the water..

MORE PHOTOS..

Now when I saw the huge weeds, I fell in love, they
look like giants Queen Ann's Lace

Have a look at them closely click on them..
I wanted to go and pick some right away, until
my DS warned me about them.. 

Unbelievable something so gorgeous could be
so dangerous.... So please be careful in the countryside.

They lovely pond, on the other side of the road the water
falls down over rocks into the stream that heads to the river.
That's where we put the minnow trap for fishing ..

This is near the cottage, it's a special place where the fairies
hang out to look at the humans, they giggle and shake their
heads at the goings on at the Hummingbird Cottage..

Tons of choke cherries along the road into the cottage,
they were ripe for picking, but we left them for the bears..
Yes there are black bears there.....
Thanks for stopping by, hope you enjoyed seeing some
of the wondrous sights in Northern Ontario, I'll keep
posting them, I love sharing  this magical place with you..
I have to get to my desk and work on my Hood :O)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend..
NAMASTE !!!!

PICS FROM MY TRIP UP NORTH

Hello and thanks for stopping by, I thought I
would take pics of the trip up north for all of you.
Warning this is pic heavy, had to do it in 3 post.
I wanted to show you what it's like driving in
N Ont. Its very interesting and gorgeous..
Remember we are travelling along at 100 km on cruise
no slowing down for pics so some maybe a little blurry :O).

The 2 main highways are the 400 which takes you
as far as Barrie. It follows an old portage trail to the
northern lakes, wikipedia of the 400 . there was huge
boulders all the way so they had to blast it with dynamite.
You can see the lines in the rock where it was placed.

Miles of rock...

Its 209 miles till we get to the 69 which takes
you all the way to Espanola to where my DB lives,
more on that later:).

All along the way the Native people put up
Inuksuk http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inuksuk
They mean " we were here", now pics of theses
were almost impossible at 100 km but I did get this one.

They have been widening this and the 69 to 4 lanes
I have pics of them, between Sudbury and Espanola
these I'll show in another post.

GETTING CLOSER

Hello a Canadian flag painted on the rock.

See the veining on all the rocks gorgeous.

another lovely body of water it's everywhere.

Lots of swampy areas, the lungs of our earth.

Thousand of water lilies all the way.. 

Boaters out all day fishing cruising the rivers

GETTIN TO THE COTTAGE

Getting closer to the cottage now.

There are hundreds of cottages you can rent
on all the small rivers and lakes

When we hit this bridge near Britt you know
your in Sudbury District  almost there. 

We turn off on highway 64 which takes us
to Noelville where I was born and almost
to the cottage.

Then on to a dirt road in the woods, this is
a small dam where my DS puts her minnow trap.
More pics of this later.

We finally get to the hummingbird cottage
on the French River..
I will post more pics if your interested of the
cottage and the hummers..
Thanks for having a look and I will post again soon
Have a wonderful creative day..
NAMASTE!!
