More Mariners Making Merry

 Helen, one of our guests who comes with the Ancient Mariners Canoe Club, was kind enough to send along this assortment of photos from their week here in mid-January.





The weather might have been chilly, but the spirits were glowing like a blazing fire.




They were out every day, snowshoeing, skiing, or just hiking.

 The ice on the cliffs is always a great photo opp. And the snowbank makes a handy place to pause and catch one's breath.

 Looking back to Bondi from the Port Cunnington Rock Cut.

 A little bit of snow... the view from the dining room window.

 Dressed correctly for conditions, it's not that cold. Especially when you get out of the wind, like here, along the bottom of the gravel pit on the Hidden Lake Trail.

 But of course, you can never spend ALL your time outside!  Coming back indoors to the fireplace, and the good food, good times and great company in the dining room is always a big part of their getaway!

 This great shot just speaks for itself!!

 Mossy lichen and snow on stark granite makes an interesting photo composition









And no trip up here is complete without at least one foray into Algonquin Park, and another to Dorset to visit Robinson's Store.  And a trip to Robinson's always provides Top Model opportunities -- this time, in headgear.
