The recent ice storm produced a monochrome painting, which only in the last moments of the following days when the clouds evaporated, briefly allowed the sun to add a few brush strokes of color.
Here's yesterday's "One in a Thousand" view. To say this River has a thousand moods is to sell it way too short.
Back tonight after three days of exploring the historic and beautiful Rideau Waterway by boat with Lyne Roberge . On our way home, we tied up at Canada's 1000 Islands (Endymion Island) National Park. Yet another jewel! We are so incredibly fortunate to call this area home.
As summer winds down, the River's mood begins to change. Out here one doesn't need to move the camera to capture a different scene, only to pause briefly between shots.

Need a summer read? One in a Thousand's MarCom Award citation: “Every once in a while an entry comes across the judging table that totally enthralls us. We quickly forget where we are and what we are doing. We become spectators, not judges. Such was the case with an eBook app called One in a Thousand. With the first image you drift away to that place in your brain where you see and feel pure beauty and nirvana. Instantly, the images and words infiltrate your imagination.” OneinaThousand.ca
Molly, enjoying the vista from our dining room.
20 years ago, following my first summer here, I mentioned to the former owners of our island (who had lived here since the early '50s) that there were geese on the River. They were astounded! I wonder how they would have reacted if I had shown them this:
