Thanks! We are very fortunate to get such awesome colour in the autumn!

Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks! This has been such an amazingly awesome autumn! Loving every day of it! Today I noticed more leaves are off the tree tops however.

Thanks! I really enjoyed this trail and finding a lookout over town and the lovely hills. Yes, Mickey and you and family should get up to Elliot Lake and enjoy these fantastic trails. So many to enjoy so make sure you book enough time to explore a few of them.

Thanks for watching! Love this time of year for colour!

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thanks for visiting

Many thanks!

Are these photos of Sep 2024? Which location is this?

Thanks! I like to get more interesting info on trails I hike.

Yes, do get out there and enjoy! The Fall colours just never last long enough. Have a great time!

Thanks! We are so very fortunate to live around some of the most stunning autumn scenery in the world. Have a great season!

Thanks! Yes, Mom is at home recovering now. So grateful she made it through some risky surgery. Quite a roller coaster ride of emotions that week!

Thanks, Darryl! This first week of September has been just so perfect for hikes. Love this time of year! I'm sure you are enjoying as well. Best to you, Mickey and family!

You're welcome! It is always great to find places where a trail will offer such extensive views and I do hope you'll get up to the Elliot Lake area to enjoy some of these wonderful trails. I think taking the kayak out on Cobre Lake would be grand as well.

I had not heard of sea lavender before. Looked it up online. Wow! What a gorgeous plant! I can understand your disappointment at it disappearing.

Thanks! It was very hot and humid so I did not want to be outside very long. Actually I hate summers because they make hiking so uncomfortable. Thinking I should spend my summers in some place such as Nunavut....LOL Have a great long weekend!

Yes, it would be nice place for your kayak. There is a boat launch at this beach as well.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the film. It's fun to search for wildflower names online and I have learned a lot about plants this way.

The national anthem, "The Star Spangled Banner" uses a phrase similar to this, which is "land of the free and home of the brave". In "America the Beautiful" we find this: "crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea." I like this sentiment better. And my motto is "think critically". source: www.lyricsondemand.com/miscellaneouslyrics/patrioticsongslyrics/americathebeautifullyrics.html

@@lyndaslens got it ,thank you ✌️

It is on First Nation's land, but they charge no fee. The trail starts at the ball park in M'Chigeeng which one passes on their way to Mindemoya. There was a large sign there, but I access this part of the trail from Tower Road which comes off of Rockville Road. www.ontariotrails.on.ca/trail/mchigeeng-aboriginal-trail

This was very helpful, thanks Lynda.

Yes they are!

Yes, thank you

Many thanks!

Wonderful! Manitoulin is a very lovely place to visit. I enjoyed my time living in Little Current, but the Elliot Lake area is just as lovely and I have had so many adventures hiking around here as well. Stunning landscapes in both places!

Many thanks!

It was quite foggy in Blind River that day. I was glad to see it was further out from shore when I arrived at the trails. I have not seen any kayaks out on the water whenever I have been walking at this beach. There is a boat launch and plenty of fishers go out with the motorized boats. I don't think it would be dangerous, but I do not kayak much.

Thanks! Sheriff Creek has quite a few trails and you can hike right up to the fire tower overlooking Elliot Lake. Pink Lady Slippers grow along the trail when they are in season. The conservation team have the area marked and protected so hikers do not trample on them. Lots to see there...Grey Herons, Wood ducks, Eagles, Beavers, Water snakes. Got to keep your camera ready.

Thanks! Yes, the dancing rainbows do bring joy.

When I lived on Manitoulin Island we hiked most of the trails. So many places to explore there. The cobble beach is along Honora Bay. There is a boat launch at the end of Bay Street where you could launch your kayak. I see the local residents out kayaking on the bay. Otters swim about the bay, stealing fish off lines I have been told by an unlucky fisherman. Have a great day!

Thank you! Walking on pine needles is certainly a lot more comfortable for the feet and the smell of a pine forest is wonderful. It is a great trail along the lakeshore and then the trail up to the lookout provides stunning views! The landscape is very much like the Whitefish Falls area.

One more note, however, I have yet to come across any deer up this way. Whitefish Falls enjoys many deer sightings, but north of Elliot Lake seems to be barren of these lovely animals. I see foxes and black bears mostly.

Lots of rain and mild temperatures the last couple of days has melted and washed away a lot of snow. Since we had a significant snowfall on April 1st last year, I am not holding my breath for Spring quite yet. But I know it is coming and I look forward to photographing blossoms soon.

Thanks for the emoji response to my video! :)

Indeed it is fun finding new trails even if they lead to a familiar place. No snow? You may have some of ours if you want it...LOL.

Yes we are! I feel very fortunate indeed!

I think it was actually brown muddy water flowing under the ice, but perhaps it was bubbles. Sorry I don't really know.

Thanks! I liked the way the brown muddy water was slipping under the ice. It appeared almost as a fish or other marine animal. Agreed about the unsafe nature of the ice for walkers.
