The Rolling Hills of Ontario


There is nothing like the colours of autumn in Ontario.


Driving north from the airport rolling hills melted into the distance...


and rusty woods formed protective shields around farmers' fields. 


Beautiful old barns in every state of repair dotted the countryside.


After two hours of driving straight up the airport road
finally we see that faint soft blue strip of Georgian Bay water.
A beautiful place indeed.

    Hi Penny,
    Ah, the land of my childhood - Georgian Bay, actually Nottawasga Bay, 9 miles north of Wasaga Beach, we called Deanlea Beach our summer home for 17 years and I loved every minute. I never knew a summer in the city! I am so grateful for my parents who somehow found the funds to build a cottage there. Your picture of the water brought back so many happy memories. We would all get so excited at that view! Thanks!

    I spent a couple of months in Toronto when I was a young girl and I remember driving once where the nepheline syenite mines are: it was December, such fantastic landscape with the snow and the lakes. I would like to come back and see the colours of Fall.
