I’ve had the opportunity over the last few months to take some cool animal shots. These pictures range from the Yukon, to northern BC, to my back yard.

This, that and a few days in Ontario

My annual trip to the east was diverted to the fall this year because I realized that it had been a long time since I had been home in Nova Scotia when the leaves were changing. My trip started off with some time in Ontario with some friends and family.

Visiting with Josh is always an adventure. This time, I got to spend some time with my little cousins who are two of the funniest people in the world as far as I am concerned. A dinner with any of my cousins in the same room is never a dull time. The next day, we decided to take off to a place neither of us had been before, so we headed north to Wasaga Beach. Turns out Wasaga Beach is very much a beach town and when it’s too cold to hang out on the beach, it is pretty much a ghost town. We spent some time near the water, it was a really sunny day at least. We took Josh’s chair through some pretty sweet sand drifts and followed the board walk until it ended. We managed to find some time for shopping too (as always).

From there, I connected with Poncho and we headed to Blue Mountain, Ontario. Staying at the Blue Mountain Resort, it has been the perfect place to let stress melt away. The village here is adorable and almost everything you need is at your finger tips and very reasonably priced.

One of the highlights of the trip was the afternoon we spend at Scandinave Spa and Baths. The massage we had there was amazing and my therapist Tracey was one of the best I have ever visited. After that, we hung out in the baths, which are all different temperatures. You sit in the hot pools for so long, then take a dip in the freezing pools, then sit in a quiet room while your heart rate returns to normal. A few rounds of that after the incredible massage made for two melty girls!
