Scan De Jour

When the kids where just knee high to grasshoppers, we would pack up the car and head off to a cottage on Anstruther Lake in the Kawarthas.This shot was taken sitting on the dock at sunset. We had a really good time there. There was a bit of a beach so the kids could play around in the water without us worrying too much. And I could swim back and forth on the deep side of the dock. There was a good sized rowboat there too. And a TV that only got the CBC. Back then, when I was in the agency business, those weeks were more of a decompression period than anything. But we have a lot of fond memories from the summer vacations  we spent there.

This was shot very late on an overcast day at Anstruther Lake, in the Haliburton Highlands where we spend several summer vacations. The owners had a small cottage at the far end of the property with their own dock. This was their boat. Our cottage was on an inlet of the much larg ...

  · This was done up at Anstruther Lake. I added it to my series entitled "Reds". Just little bits of red, but more than enough to qualify.
