First Lake Freighters of the Season

I saw my first boat of this autumn season out on the Lake this afternoon,

it is always a thrill to see them!

then as I sat here at my computer I spied another out on the horizon, 

so I took the photo through the screened window

Water Spout on Lake Superior

Yesterday afternoon as I was cooking our Thanksgiving dinner Mark spotted this water spout, funnel cloud out on the Lake. There wasn't much time for me to get a few photos of it as it was moving east on the Lake. The hospital blocks our view, but it was pretty cool to watch it while I could.

Thanksgiving Snow

My raven friends were hungry on Sunday after our little snow fall. Raven etiquette, the male always eats first, and the female gets what ever is leftover. If he eats everything, which he usually does I will sneak out and give her a little more of our dogs kibble. Just feeding the birds...

Seven Days on the Island

We traveled a week ago to Manitoulin Island to Mark's families summer cottage, for our much delayed summer vacation, in October. It was nice to be there with my mom and Marks mom, together. Here is a brief photo journal of our week away!
