Re: Not very exotic - - - -

It looks 'exotic' enough for me Dave and just beautiful

I am not a 'sun and beach' type person , that spot would suit me fine

Re: Not very exotic - - - -

How lovely,reminds Me of the Film 'On Golden Pond'..one of My fav's

Re: Not very exotic - - - -

i would love to be sitting there in the sun by the water instead of the dreadful rain we have had here today in which i got soaked - your place looks absolutely idyllic

Re: Not very exotic - - - -

It looks really beautiful.

Yes, we do, Nom. Usually one pair at a time but in the spring they sometimes have offspring with them. They do get to "yodeling" at certain times. They'll leave and head off to (I guess) another lake nearby and we won't see them for a couple of weeks. One thing that I do know - -they take a long run to get airborne. They really churn up the water with their feet as they pick up speed to rise and usually circle a few times to gain altitude before heading off.

Here's a canoe's eye view of the cottage. There are only 4 cottages on the lake so we're pretty isolated.

I bet the fishing is great there too freshly caught fish straight on the fire, yummy...

Re: Not very exotic - - - -

A stunning place Dave, I really envy you!

Re: Not very exotic - - - -

An idyllic retreat for me, its very hard to find such splendid isolation over here.
