Crystal Clear Night Skies

Here in Muskoka we have been enjoying cool sunny days and crystal clear night skies. To really see the sky we walk down to the dock where we can get a wider view and then see what unfolds. Often we have questions and lately we have gotten an answer. What is that in the sky moving across so quickly click here for the answer. Put in the name of your city and see what we are seeing and be sure to turn your lights off at night, it saves the earth and helps us all enjoy the night sky.

Handsome Moose in Algonquin Park

This Handsome guy was captured on film in August by our guest who was very gifted with a camera! Here is what he says and the picture is below:
Thank you again for our wonderful week, your cottage is truly a special place. Thank you Yvon for your amazing pictures and capturing a peaceful scene at our dock on Cooper Lake.

Redheaded Woody in the snow

Woody Woodpecker visits us on a very snowy day in December. He is one of many birds that come and go during the winter months. We welcome the sight several kinds of woodpeckers including the Piliated Woodpecker who is the noisiest and brightest of all.

Majestic Buck at our Bird Feeder

A snowy December morning and we woke up to this beautiful animal strolling through our woods to visit the birds. We sometimes see Does and young deer but this is our first 8 point visitor.

We have Snow

WE HAVE SNOW.
Everyone has been out skiing and tobogganing already and the forest is heavy with the weight of all this snow.

E-mail from our Guests

Hello Ingrid,

Thank you again for making our stay at Cooper Lake so enjoyable. Karen and I enjoyed all the hiking in the park and on your land. We didn't see too much in the way of wildlife but that was definitely compensated for by the luminous beauty of the fall foliage. I don't think the trees could have been any brighter. The night you pointed out the stars to us we took a trek to the field to see them and it was wonderful. We ended up going down and sitting on the dock for a while watching for shooting stars and enjoying the peace and quiet. I must say that if peace and quiet is what is sought your cottage is the place to find it.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful haven and thank you for the eggs they were great.

I do hope to come back in the future maybe for some snow shoeing in the spring.

Have a great day!!

Cindy

On the Way to Algonquin Park

One of my favorite places to drop by on the way to Algonquin Park is Algonquin Outfitters on Oxtongue Lake. They have everything for canoeing, hiking, biking, climbing, exploring. I particularly like their hiking boot section and canoes and kayaks to buy or rent. They have a great blog as well which I have listed under my favorites.
