Our Pictures from Home

 

I thought I would share a few pictures of where we live. Spanish, Ontario is a very tiny community in northeastern Ontario.  The town is on the Trans Canada Highway between Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury.  We are located right on the North Channel of Lake Huron. It's a friendly, peaceful little town with beautiful surroundings. It was so hard to pick just a few, I hope you enjoy these. 

Winter Morning Sunrise 

We have many crisp winter mornings like this one, and what a view to wake up to! Although I am not to thrilled with the snow and cold, this makes up for it a little bit. This picture was taken from our front porch.

Summer Rainbows 

I often wonder about the possibilities of finding a pot of gold after a summer thunderstorm. Never found one yet! LOL This picture was taken just across the street from us.

Summer Sunsets 

What can I say, it just doesn't get any better than this! We have many evening sunsets just like this one. This picture was take from our front yard.

A Beautiful Fall Sunset 

With the start of each fall, the migratory birds start to arrive. We are on a pretty busy flyway and see hundreds of ducks and geese at one time! Flocks of geese actually fly right over the house, and I mean right over! They fly so close I sometimes feel like I can almost touch them!

Summer's Night Moon 

On warm summer nights, we often sit outside gazing up at the sky full of stars or beautiful northern light displays. We love watching the skies, what a wonderful way to relax and end the day. I kind of feel sorry for the folks living in those big cities and all them lights, they just don't get to enjoy the night skies like we do! This picture is one Rick took of a full moon with his camera through a telescope.

Awesome Fishing 

I just love having my own personal guide! And he even puts the worms and minnows on for me LOL. This was a quick mornings fishing. We don't have big ones, but we have lots.

Rick actually is a guide here, and he really enjoys it. His clients love him, not only does he show them where to catch the fish, but also how to catch them. It's an art here I tell ya! He is very outgoing and gives them a tour of the area while they are fishing, pointing out wildlife and giving them a history of the area. He really is a people person.

Who's out Fishing? 

We never know who we will see out fishing either. This day was a moose, who had crossed one of the channels from one island to another. Sometimes it a bear or a deer swimming across.

We often see other little critters too; muskrats, otters and beavers. And I hate when I see snakes swimming in the water, but at least they are harmless! There always lots of birds flying around too; American Bald Eagles, Blue Herons, Loons, Hawks and so many more!

Our Municipal Marina 

We have a nice Municipal Marina here, which includes the Lookout Tower. A great way to get some exercise walking up (I need a few breaks LOL). The views once up there are breathtaking. These pictures were taken this spring.

That's a long way down! See the wee person?



This is looking west, towards various channels and small islands, which eventually heads out to the big water (Lake Huron).



This is looking south, across from the Marina, the delta area.



This is looking east, and is the mouth of the Spanish River. This is where we head up to go fishing.

Who's Dropping By 

We often get critters dropping or going by our home. It can be a deer, bear or fox, or a family of racoons. This time it was a big mean old snapping turtle walking down the road by our laneway.

Oh Dear...... It's That Big City Feeling 

And even though we have a very small and quiet town, every so often reality sinks in. This is from a day-time bank robbery in the summer of 2006.

Councillor Rick 

Here is Rick being sworn in by our Mayor on January 4, 2007. Rick is a very active councillor and works hard for our town. I am so proud of him!

My Yucca 

Me, I just usually kill things LOL. I don't have much luck with my gardening skills, I truly have a black thumb! But my Yucca never fails me, the bloom period, although short at only 4 weeks, is always worth it. That's my Purple Smoke Bush behind it.

Community Involvement 

We are as actitive as we can be in our community and are involved in several local groups. Here is a picture of me planting wild rice, a project we do through our local fish and game club.



This one is stocking walleye that the club raises, in one of our local inland lakes.



I hope to add more pictures later, so be sure to drop back.
