wolfe island 2012

The wind turbines in the fields . . . 

I think below is Corrigan's island or rather, Horseshoe Island, very near Lake Ontario

 Steven mastering his sailing canoe on the St Lawrence River . . . 

Below, that's Steven in the same tiny sailing canoe (on the right!) He want's me to add that it is NOT a model boat! He is truly sailing it and waving to the crew in the racing boat!!!


We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the largest and most beautiful of the Thousand Islands, Wolfe Island in Ontario, Canada. We visit a family property where my husband Steven grew up every summer. It is very beautiful there but still, I'd say the highlight for us was boating on the river and visiting with his family. Since its a 3 day trip to get there from Florida (and the same drive back!) we do not anticipate going again next summer . . . probably the following summer. It's just quite a trip for us now, very different from when we lived in Connecticut. I have lots more photos but these are a few of my favorites. Hope you enjoy, lenna

Wonderful photos, Lenna. Wolfe island really is a beautiful place. I LOVE the pic of Asia smiling, she looks so cute :) The colours on that bullfrog are amazing!
