Brighton Saturday Night

What is a camping trip to Presquile without a trip to the stock car races in Brighton. Crowds, hot dogs, loud noise and the locals. Great fun. Even the ospreys in the infield loved the spectacle.

Margarita Time at the Cottage

At the cottage any time is Margarita time.

Always Something to Do

Vincent always found something to do at the cottage.

Warm Canadian Water

Luisa found the water temperature at the cottage to her liking.

Ballast

Vincent asked uncle Marc where is the ballast tank in this boat.

Cottage Canoe Ride

Uncle Marc takes the canoe for a spin around the lake.

In the Paddle Boat

Luisa and Kathryn, Marc and Barbara, toured the bay in the paddle boat.

Luisa at the Cottage

Luisa does not like me to take her picture but here are some of Luisa relaxing at the cottage.

Swimming with the Loons

At the cottage there are no dolphins but Aunt Marsha found she could swim with the loons.

Evening a the Cottage

The sun disappears in the west as the mosquitos make their way towards us.

Cottage Morning

Dad was up before Vincent and Mom on this day at the cottage so Dad decided to sit at the lake and watch the sunrise. The lake was perfectly calm, a great morning for a paddle around the bay in the canoe.

Cottage Critters: White Tailed Deer

The morning brought these two white tailed deer to the lake looking for a drink.

Botaurus lentiginosus

This American bittern froze in the reeds as I approached in the canoe.

Butorides virescens

The morning canoe ride also resulted in me spoting this green heron in the tree on the island. He was mostly relaxed but became alarmed when I got too close as his hair stood on end.

Sayornis phoebe

This eastern phoebe liked to sit in the tree by the lake between meals.
