These chairs are really comfortable! They are known as The Adirondack Chairs in the U.S. but they are called Muskoka Chairs here in Canada.
Sorry folks, more trees and fall colours.......
On our drive around the Muskoka Lakes and Cottage Country, my cousin very kindly stopped every now and again so I could take some photos :) This was taken in Bracebridge, Ontario, although it was cold the sun was beautifully bright and really drew out the colours in the trees :)
Worth viewing on black 'L'
Thank you for all your wonderful comments, favourites and group invites :)

Taken at Twin Lakes Beach, on the south basin of Lake Manitoba.
I used a total of four textures here - 3 thanks to Jenny and one from the Fly Edges collection. Some texture layers I left as is, others I blurred to remove some of the deeper texture details. I took a rather blown out sky and made it into something dark and stormy - just like the weather we've had lately.
My title is a reference to the cinematographic technique, "day for night" or "nuit américane" used to simulate a night scene shot in the daytime to create the illusion of darkness or moonlight.
"Lake of the Woods is over seventy miles long and wide, and contains over 14,552 islands and 65,000 miles (105,000 km) of shoreline, which would amount to the longest coastline of any Canadian lake, except that the lake is not entirely within Canada."
My cousin and I headed to the Bala Cranberry Festival, Ontario on Friday, and stopped off in Gravenhurst for a bit of a break.
I spotted this eagle/hawk soaring above us, and just captured him before he sailed off over these trees. Even further north the fall colours were still stunning :)

From the same morning as yesterdays photo (see comments), these are the reasons for that photo shoot. They were okay, but I like the incidental discoveries, like yesterday, better. Life goes like that. Another Chandos Lake photo below.
Here is Moose taking a moment to contemplate his place in the Universe. This is taken at the French River Provincial Park day hike, along the river off the Hwy 400 pull off and visitor center. A breathtaking view.
Still brown with dead grasses and yellow underbrush, soon this area will be lush green. The mosquitos will be monstrous.
One of the most popular cottage country destinations in Ontario, this lake is home to some amazing island cottages. Its a huge lake, this is taken near Hardy Lake Park which is pretty close to Bala, a very busy cottage town with access to Lake Muskoka.

There are 5 dead elms in this photo from the cottage; they've all succumbed to Dutch Elm Disease. However, the two planted Willows to the far left are coming along, and the Goldenrod in the right foreground was blooming in full vigour.
