AUTUMN'S BEAUTY

One of our favourite passtimes is to go for long drives in the country. I have always lived in a town that was situated on water, and when we were on one of our jaunts around the local countryside last weekend, I realized how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful area. Fall is my favourite time of year, with the colourful autumn leaves, so I brought along my camera.

We've been across the Picton ferry and up to Lake on the Mountain, which is gorgeous. No one knows the origin of this self contained lake, located at the top of a mountain, but it's worth a visit if you ever come this way. On Sunday, we started by travelling to a couple of small towns, Fenelon Falls and Bobcaygeon, both located on water and with gorgeous scenery. Then it was on to Lindsay, and then Cobourg, Port Hope and back home along Lake Ontario. I've taken lots of pictures so I hope you enjoy them.

Hi Brenda

What a beautiful area you live in. I love the reds and oranges of autumn. My husband and I dream of visiting Canada one day.
