Like many Canadians (or Torontonians, more specifically), I spent the labour day long-weekend away at a cottage. My parent’s are aiming to sell the cottage so this could very well have been the last summer spent there.
I painted my mother’s nails a lovely silvery blue that I’m all but certain she’s already removed. I watched everyone get very drunk by the campfire, before we headed into the basement to play darts. I don’t know how to play darts. It turns out there’s a bunch of math involved which practically eliminates Alistair and I from the get-go. It turns out my father is actually very good at darts–he hit 3 bull’s-eyes within his first couple turns. The things you learn about people…
The next day was a beach day. We took the ferry over to Christian Island–an Ojibwa reserve that has some very nice beaches on Georgian Bay.
Let’s celebrate summer’s end with copious pictures of yours truly…
It’s a $40 ferry ride to visit Christian Island
Georgian Bay
Napping on the beach
I’m doing all the hard work, trudging through the sand with our gear (*not pictured are the 3 heavy bags Alistair had to carry).
Obligatory bikini picture. I love this beach because it has a sort of lush, green, tropical feel to it.
Shadow art!
And now…back to work. A week of night-shoots, in the pouring rain…*sigh*
Is This the Way the World Ends? 
I vote for more bikinis and less fingernails.
Ha. Noted.
Would it be greedy to ask for both?
Are you a Yankees fan or just wearing their gear? I’m a life long Yankees fan myself. Was just in NY 3 weeks ago at a game.
Maybe there could be a middle ground between medievalone and yourself. I say show us your fingernails while wearing a bikini. Afterall, we do need to celebrate Summer to its fullest…
Just wearing their hat. I bought it at the airport because I needed a good ball-cap for sun coverage, and I like the look of this one. I’m not a sports fan in the least, but I’d like to imagine that if I were, I would be a Yankees fan.
I’m impressed by how clear the water is in Georgian Bay! How cold is the water?
The bikini picture is lovely. Your bikini contrasts nicely with the green of the plants.
The water is clear and refreshing i.e. cold.
I thought I would take a moment to warn you against dabbling in the supernatural, specifically, the ojibwe board you mentioned in your post. It’s all fun and games until somebody gets possessed.
