Big Bay

I got beyond the stone skipping beach, and gazed out at the bay.  It's a wide expansive view, leading to distant shorelines and islands.  The blue of the sky and the blue of the water made a beautiful picture.

I took this panoramic view by mistake, but in fact it captures the view well.

The Canadian flag is prominent, flapping in the breeze, a flag I have photographed before.

A sailboat came around the far headland, and I watched it cross the bay in front of us, probably headed for Wiarton.

And Mrs. F.G. was still wandering the distant beach, looking for the perfect rock.

The boulders along the pier were pretty interesting too.

To the northwest you could see the far side of Colpoy's Bay, marked by Malcom Bluff.

Zooming in you could see the massive vertical cliffs of the Niagara Escarpment.  Now much of that distant property is a nature reserve, and the Bruce Trail runs right along the top.  It's one of the places I would like to have hiked, but didn't make it to before the wheelchair arrived.

  1. Maybe one day the Bruce Trail will extend to wheelchair access. You live in a beautiful part of Canada, and through your photos and words I have seen so much more than I would have ever imagined.

  10. Great pictures as always. I've always found watching the water calming. Could be why I had my own boat.
    Stay Safe and Enjoy!

    It's about time.

  11. Gorgeous photos. And stories. I'm sort of glad the wheelchair arrived, but I wish it didn't need to arrive, but I bet you have way more feelings about that than I do. I love your blog. Hope she found the perfect rock. :-)
