Barrie waterfront
It was a mostly overcast day, the light just right for creating faint reflections.
Birdhouse in the harbour
I'm not sure what birds this birdhouse was made to attract, but most times there's a gull sitting on the roof.
Neat and tidy island
I like to stand on the bank and watch ducks and shorebirds. The distance between the shore and the island is fairly short, and all kinds of birds land her - for some reason, quite unafraid.
Fishers out on a warm late autumn day
Wow that looks very peaceful I would be standing there too.
ReplyDeleteI have never been to Barrie but someday. Great shots. B
love the little birdhouse. so cute. (:
ReplyDeleteI can sense the approaching winter in these photos. If I were a small bird I would be afraid to hide in that birdhouse with a relatively giant seagull hanging out on the roof. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images, the grayer skies and slightly rippled waters make for a great effect.
ReplyDeletethat's a swallow or a martin house. I wonder why they put it there?
ReplyDeleteGreat shots,
Gill
The bit of wild land against the cityscape is interesting.

ReplyDeleteAh yes, typical Barrie. :)
ReplyDeleteNice reflections too!

ReplyDeletesuch a contrast between those big buildnings (blockhouses?) and the trees in the landscape..
i love the rocks on the shore.
ReplyDeleteEG! hi! those are very interesting and awesome photos! i got all mesmerized by them. beautiful!
ReplyDeleteyes, this week should be great. thanks for stopping by and saying nice things.
Nice reflections and nice to see what Barrie looks like.
ReplyDeleteLovely soft reflections in these ones!
ReplyDeleteLove the overcast reflections and that birdhouse is such a sweet touch!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty...I like the way the colors are muted...but actually makes it look like a cool day.
ReplyDeleteYour bird "apartment" fits in well with the rest of your scenes.
ReplyDeleteLove that bird house!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteReally great captures and such a peaceful looking place, EG! Somehow the gray skies make it seem even more peaceful!! I love spending time at places like this! Hope you have a wonderful week!!
ReplyDeleteLove the rocks of the little island. I always love the looks of rocks and water.
ReplyDelete=)
Lovely images. Overcast days are great for photography. I wonder if that birdhouse is for purple martins? That's what it reminds me of.
ReplyDeleteYou can almost feel winter in the air when looking at your photos.
ReplyDeleteVery wonderful photography of a very beautiful place ~ love water shots ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeletebeautiful corner of the universe. it does remind me of the sights of emeryville from berkeley (photo first and last), two cities just outside of San Fran.
ReplyDeleteThat is a sweet, little birdhouse.
ReplyDeleteI really like the reflections in your first photo. You did a great job of capturing them.
ReplyDeleteCool shots EG. I too like to just watch the shore birds. Still waiting for the Tundra swans in my area. Got pics on Lake Erie yesterday of a few, so they are on the move. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteIt looks cold and silent, not much activity going on. But i love the silence and it looks idyllic.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a quiet and sleepy walk along the waters:) Reminds me of my walks along Lake Michigan on days like these. Very nice:)
ReplyDeleteYou still caught some nice reflections.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots of the bay and reflections. The birdhouse looks like a purple martin house or maybe swallow. They would only be there in the spring and summer.
ReplyDeleteThe silver reflections look so peaceful and lovely.
