A beautiful weekend with wonderful people
ByThis weekend Tito and I drove up to Coboconk Ontario to see a friend. We were looking forward to seeing him but didn’t expect the incredible weekend that was in store for us!
It turns out that his family lives in a winterized cottage, right on the lake. Their home is filled with art, pianos and pottery. They are also the most loving people imaginable, fascinating to talk to and, to boot, great cooks. We celebrated Earth hour with a feast by candlelight in a glassed-in patio facing the lake. They’ve got a dog – and everyone knows nothing was ever so perfect that it wasn’t made ten times better by the presence of a dog! Absolute heaven.
In the morning we discovered that something very special had happened.
So after an entire snow-free winter I got to take some of the pics I had been waiting for – serene mornings with a white coating on every single tree branch.
Thank you Annie, Jane and Ben for a wonderful weekend!
These are some beautiful pics Shireen! It was so good to have you both up here, it really was quite a magical week-end. I realize now as I look at these that we also managed to conjure up all types of weather for you in the short time that you were here allowing you to capture the wilderness in all of it’s different glory! All in all, a total success and you two are welcome up here anytime! Next time though, let’s make sure that I’ve got two legs to work with…
Ben.

Awesome pictures and sounds like an equally awesome weekend. I adore the dog as Corgi’s are my fav. I had one for 16 years!
Your photography is so interesting and “Cottage country” is awesome in Ontario!

What lovely memories are in these pictures, Shireen! The first loon of the year swam close to our shore today. He will grace your camera lens on another visit!
Many thanks also for your very generous gift of the beautiful alpaca shawl!
