We always enjoy our travels abroad, but must say that there are fantastic spots to tour almost in our own back yard. Following the great family get together at Thanksgiving (24 for turkey dinner), we decided to take a break, enjoy the sunshine, and head north to see if there were any coloured leaves left. We drove right up to Tobermory, stopping at Sauble Beach and falls on the way. It was glorious up there! After spending the night at the Princess Hotel, we went to the Bruce Peninsula National Park, and proceeded to hike along one of the many trails, cameras in tow. It was windy and cool, but the sun was just right for pictures of the "Grotto" area. What a fabulous place! We hope to return to this wonderful park in the spring, and must investigate the yurt camping that they have available. Here are some of Gail's shots.

John will have plenty of wonderful photos to share too.
Note: We are very proud of the fact that John entered two of his photos in a juried show in Waterloo, and both were accepted. There are only forty pieces accepted out of over a hundred entries. I am also pleased that the two paintings I submitted are also part of the show, which opens October 12 at the Button Factory in Waterloo.
