Cottage Life - Nature at its best!

I spent the last week at the cottage. Just wanted to share some pictures. :)

Meet Sam, the turtle. He/she was a regular visitor while I was there.

Butterflies. They were flocking around the daisies in our field.

Russian Blue,

Your photography talent always amazes me. What??? No pictures of Nakita??? You have a very unique eye for photography.

Wow those are beautiful. That butterfly should be in a magazine. What kind of camera do you have?-

Wow, how lovely. But, ahem, we see no photos of "you know who"!

What great pictures! You are a VERY good photographer. :D Where is that?! It's so pretty there. :eek:

I am always amazed at your abilities to capture such heartfelt pictures. The photos are always so crisp & clear. Thanks for sharing them with us.

*waves* Hi Sam!

What a heavenly place- and what wonderful photos :) Now off to see.....

Beautiful photos. I had butterflies fluttering around the house a few weeks ago but I can not capture the beauty of them like you can.

What beautiful photos.

I want to move there. Is housing cheap there? Maybe we can be neighbors. :D I love Canada. When I go up to Pittsburg NH, we drive into Canada and see the rolling hills, the country side and all the farms. It's so beautiful.

Thanks for sharing the lovely photos.

:)

Oh. My. Gosh. I am in love with your photography skills. You are an AMAZING photographer. All the pictures are gorgeous, and my favorites are the ones of the butterflies.

Wow, do you have an eye for photography or what! I loved all of the pictures, but the one of the view from the dock just takes my break away! The reflection of the sky and clouds on the water is amazing! :)

Love the pictures there so good and of course the turtle hes just too cute.

Hee hee - you're a Pet Talker, all right! See a turtle every day, well of course you gave it a name! ;)

Great pictures, thanks for sharing!

Real estate prices have been going crazy the last 5 years. Right now the average house price is $350K in the Greater Toronto Area. The average cottage is being sold for $150K-$250K....I don't know how people can afford a home and cottage! I'm lucky since my grandparents purchased the land back in the 1930's.

And for all the farms, they are being sold off since farmers can't make a decent living. Almost every farm on the way to my cottage has been sold or is in the process of being sold.

I'm no turtle expert so I didn't know the gender....so I figured the name Sam would do! ;)

Thanks everyone for your comments! :)

Bummer. I guess we won't be neighbors afterall. I will have to live my cottage experience through your beautiful pictures. :)
