Manitoulin Magic

Jazz loves her daily nature study. It's like watching big screen television all day! #nature #DogsOfBlueSky #photography

A deer and a fox are lovingly and protectively embraced under the leaves by a human to protect them from hunters.

Dear Animals ~ All humans are not the same. #love #nature

A study in decay, stillness, and the passage of time, this abandoned structure on Manitoulin sets a haunting mood.

An old weathered barn shaped home sits abandoned as an eager lilac bush springs forth amid the milkweed. Alone, but not forgotten.

‪On Manitoulin Island, there are still many abandoned rural homes and outbuildings still standing which lead us to wonder what we would learn if walls could talk. #photography #history #EastCoastKin #alphabetchallenge #weekUforUnloved #manitoulinmagic

May we raise children who love the unloved things ...

Beautiful reflections dance in the water at sunrise on Manitoulin Island! This may become a future painting ... if I can find the time. #EastCoastKin #sunrise #manitoulinmagic #photography #reflections #Manitoulin

Jazz and Molly have decided that it’s time to bed for us. Good night, #Bluesky to all and enjoy a wonderful week ahead. #DogsOfBlueSky

A sunset with golden holes peeking through a troubled deep blue sky.

Another dramatic sunset shot out our back door. Dinner prep is often interrupted in November as the sunsets steal my focus. I see it as inspiration in the kitchen! #EastCoastKin #photography #sunsetlovers #manitoulinmagic #scape

There is also a ferry called the Chicheemaun which runs from Tobermory to South Baymouth May through October.

Sharing a stunning sunrise on Lake Kagawong on Manitoulin Island - the world's largest freshwater island. Manitoulin has amazingly dramatic sunrises and sunsets bookending our days here. #gratitude #EastCoastKin #photography #manitoulinmagic #sunrise

Amen. Definitely one of the perks.

Sunset patrol reporting for duty! My golden doodles approved this Manitoulin Island sunset glow. These two make every evening feel extra golden. #DogsofBlueSky #EastCoastKin #manitoulinmagic #sunsetlovers #photography #Stunday

A sunset where a sweep of fiery orange and soft pink poured down toward the treeline, lighting up the bare branches like they were glowing from within.

This magical Manitoulin Island sunset feels like the sky is exhaling. A sweep of fiery orange and soft pink poured down toward the treeline, lighting up the bare branches like they were glowing from within. So blessed to live here! 🇨🇦 #EastCoastKin #photography #manitoulinmagic #Manitoulin
