Sunday Afternoon / Sky Watch

Sun and clouds over Port Perry horse farm

This is what it looked like last Sunday afternoon just outside Port Perry. It was a delightful day. In the distance you can see the horses -- free to roam the farms many fenced-in acres -- think so too.

It is an interesting province, isn't it? I love the rolling hills of the area. Drive a few km north and you get Precambrian rock & trees, then, further north the BIG Lake Superior hills and rocks.We have been travelling Ontario (for many reasons) sticking closer to home, and just find amazing sights compared to My Muskoka.

This photo has the feeling of a painting to me.

I LOVE it. What a beautiful are you live in. Me too---all green and woodsy and many meadows but look where I am travelling. Beautiful in it's own way. MB
