A Winter Interlude

The weekend before last my husband and I accompanied friends to their favorite bed and breakfast near Midland Ontario. What glorious weather we had with sun shining and sky beaming blue the whole time. Perfect for snow shoeing and taking pictures.

One lovely surprise was the flock of skittish wild turkeys stealing food from the feeders by the house. I have seen these before a couple of times, but never in such numbers or this close. Very cool.

Here the turkeys sensed me and started to run off.

I love trees in the winter as their wonderful structures are so evident as they parade naked for all to see.
Not being a birder I don't know what this is but he/she flitted back and forth from another feeder on the property. The colours are very striking.

Finally here is the house in which we stayed. They have a separate wing for the guests with three lovely bedrooms, a breakfast room and a fireplace sitting area, outside of which is a private hot tub in a cute arbor-type arrangement. Of course we had a soak on Saturday night although the west wind chased us indoors fairly quickly.

Donna was the name of the chatelaine of this lovely home and she well deserves the title. The food was superb, the accommodations very comfortable and the setting very restful. A great weekend getaway.
