Cottage weekend

I just got home from a weekend up at a friend’s cottage. It’s an annual birthday tradition and it’s always a great time. A good cottage weekend can do wonders to reinvigorate yourself. I am ready for the week.

But since the Pan Am Games closing ceremony fireworks are about to kick-off and I want to go watch them from my sun deck, I don’t have a lot of time to write a post. So instead, I thought I would share a few of my photos from the weekend.

The first photo is near Shelburne, Ontario. The wind turbines are from the Amaranth Wind Farm, which is the largest wind energy installation in Canada.

This is the Georgian Bay. I love swimming in this water.

Cottage reading: Monocle.

The wood shop. There’s a lot of creative talent at this particular cottage.

Creemore = cottage.

All of these photos were also posted to my Instagram if you’d like to follow me there. The last photo was from Snapchat (donnelly_b).

Regular scheduled programming will resume tomorrow. I have a great guest post queued up on road pricing. I can’t wait to share it.
