Pictures of The Witch's Island For Mrs. Nakamura

Recently, one of my most faithful commenters requested that we post up some more pictures of the Witch's Island. We've been busy painting the front hallway and I have to say that Hubby is extremely fussy about painting. It has taken two weeks, so far, just to paint four small walls and the mouldings. And there are still two walls to go (trim included)!

So, we haven't been able to get out to take any new pictures and, feeling a bit guilty, I went trolling through our picture files to see just what we had on hand. It turns out that we take a LOT of pictures of our neighbourhod and the most difficult thing is picking out the best and most represntative shots. Most of these were taken in the fall of 2008 or the summer of 2007.

Mrs Nakamura, you asked and we are happy to oblige...


Our neighbours are harvesting their field of corn in October 2008.

The fall colours lighting up the hills behind this cow pasture.

The cows are coming over to see why we are standing by their field. Hoping for snacks, maybe.

This is cottage-country along the river a few miles from home.

This horse has a terrific view from his corral.

You would never know that there is a comercial apple orchard down that lane unless you saw the signs on the highway.

The recent rain and the dark day really brought out the red in the clay of this road.

How would you like to wake up to this vista every day?

The late evening sun is bursting off the birch trees across the road from home.

The backyard in late October 2008.

This is the walkway to one of the local beaches.

The beach is just over the dunes on the horizon. You can see why the walkway is elevated.

We came to this beach in July 2007 while on our bikes. We were riding on one of the local trails and this beach was about 5 kms. from the start.

These pilings used to support a fishing pier a lot of years ago.
