Meech Lake in the Winter


Most Canadians over a certain age or students of history, remember the political furor over the failed Meech Lake Accord where Quebec was not brought in to the Canadian constitution. This was how Meech Lake looked like yesterday.

Magical Dream Cabin in the Woods

This is a dream get-away cabin in the woods where one can escape the rat race and the humdrum of life.

This pic was taken in the foothills of the Laurentian Mountains.

Canoes in Hibernation

Even the canoes go into hibernation in the cold boreal forest winter on the river. This photograph was shot in the Gatineau Hills of Quebec on the Gatineau River near Chelsea Quebec, in Canada.

Summer Time, and Missing Golf in the Boreal Forest

I have played some PGA rated golf courses in my life. Playing a challenging course is a lot of fun. However, when I just want to relax, I play a small nine hole golf course cut through the boreal forest back in the sticks. It is my favourite golf course for just relaxing.

It is called Blue Heron, and it is located near Lanark, Ontario, Canada. It is a short course. Being in the tropics, I miss the golf. Summer in the Bahamas is hot and stinky. The courses all charge ridiculous fees to play golf and I don't play much in the tropics.

Here are a few photos from the course:

If you find any balls on the course marked "The One & Only Ocean Club", then you will know that they are mine.
