Back to the Bay
Last night we went for our first post-hospital adventure. it was just a local drive down to the shoreline of Georgian Bay, but we stopped and picked up a pizza which we shared sitting in the car. Then I drove the chair out and we headed down the sidewalk toward the inner harbour. I got a selection of pictures of the bay.
I thought this panoramic shot turned out well. All photos are with my iphone7. I haven't got back to my big camera yet.
Mackerel clouds hung over the grey water of the bay.
Friday was the day of high winds and the Ottawa tornadoes as a cold front went through. I should have come down to the shore to watch the waves. These rocks were thrown up about 50 feet from the waterline by the waves. Good thing I wasn't sitting on that bench!
The gulls disperse along the shore during the day, but as sunset approached they gathered on the roof of a marina building to catch the last rays of the sun.
I've never seen the Glen G in harbour before, but it was a nice looking ship.

I saw elsewhere on Facebook that the Peninsula got some high winds and active weather from that system as well. The rocks seen here really bring that home. Excellent shots!
ReplyDeleteThat was really a special adventure. Pizza and touring the area with your chair was marvelous. The area was beautiful and I learned a new name for a cloud formation. I am glad the journey went well.
ReplyDeleteVery nice cloud photos, that iphone does a nice job. Glad to hear you got out and about -- and didn't go down to the shore to be washed out to "sea" in the wind and waves.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are out and about trying to get back to your positive attitude.
ReplyDeleteStill learning more about the Ottawa Tornado.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
My goodness those are some good sized rocks in the grass...scary:( Good for you to get out close to home:)
ReplyDeleteGood that you are able to get out and around.
ReplyDeleteAn outing together, what an occasion. Rocks, and huge waves, must have been quite a storm. Down here, winds, hail, rain in huge amounts for a short time, and now sunshine. We continue to pack, and continue even more to look.
ReplyDeleteWow, that was some serious wave action! Thanks for sharing these photos of the Bay. I could almost feel your joy of inhaling the air from the bay.
ReplyDeleteIt can be amazing, the size of rocks shifted by storms. good to see some more shots of your local area.
ReplyDeleteSo nice that you could get back to the bay again. Love seeing your pictures.
ReplyDeleteHello, pretty views of the bay and great photos from your phone. The power of water is amazing. Have a happy day!
ReplyDeleteSo great to see that you are getting out and enjoying mother nature. Look forward to seeing more of your adventures.
ReplyDeleteYou are grabbing the bull by the horns and not wasting any of these lovely days. I'm so happy to see that you are getting out already and taking wonderful pictures. The best part is that you are sharing them too! :)
ReplyDeleteNever knew the name for those clouds, Mackerel. I'll try and remember that when I see them next. They are so pretty, like cotton balls.
Marvelous to see you out and about. I'm so happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI use my iPhone7 for all my pictures these days and am considering going for the new XS, which apparently has an awesome camera. Nice to see these pictures and hear you're out and about. :-)
ReplyDeleteThose iPhones do well, don't they? It's lovely to see you out and about.
ReplyDeleteSo happy to see you are out and about having adventures on the home front again. Congratulations! The stones thrown up are a testament to the power of the waves aren't they!
ReplyDeleteI commented last night --but Blogger wouldn't take it.... Hopefully today, my comment will go in. I am SO happy for you and your progress. I am sure that it was fantastic just to be outside seeing all of this beauty and photographing it...
ReplyDeleteI use my iPhone a lot these days --and am pleased with the pictures. The main thing my Canon does better is the 300 mm lens ZOOM...
Hugs,
Betsy
The rocks that were moved by the waves are amazing! Glad you are out and about! You will have to get snow tires for the chair in winter!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see that you are out and about.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
I also tried to comment last night, but Blogger wouldn't let me post my comment. Then, I learned that Safari could be the problem, so I tried Chrome, and here I am back to commenting. I have been following your journey and so thrilled to see that you had this opportunity for an outing. It makes my heart happy to see these photos and read your post.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are wonderful. I use my iPhone most of the time. It just seems to much work to lug around a big camera.
Great that you got to go out on your first adventure. Wow, amazing that the waves threw up those rocks.
ReplyDeleteNice to see your great photos again. My camera died a while back and I've been taking all my pictures with my phone. I like phone pictures but do miss my camera.
Pretty impressive to see the rocks up there. Storms these days are scary.
ReplyDeleteWind must have been blowing to blow the rocks up there.
ReplyDeleteGlad you got out

ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing what an iPhone can do? My camera isn't even able to keep up and I have an older iPhone. Love your pictures. It's so good to see them again. - Margy
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see that you are out and about.
