mini vacation

The mister and I have just returned from a mini vacation 

at Blue Mountain on Georgian Bay here in Ontario.

Despite fickle weather, it was an enjoyable 4 days 

that provided both fun and rejuvenating activities

... as well as some good photo opportunities!

For SkyWatch Friday

the weather provided a stunning and spectacular mid day storm

by the time we had finished lunch and watched a movie

we were looking at this...

Each day was different

but every one was moody when it came to the weather

Tuesday right up until noon 

it looked like this from our room

A few hours later we were at the top where the fog is so thick
looking down at beautiful Georgian Bay

and by the time we were coming down the sun was out in full force

On Thursday morning, just in time for This and That Thursday,

the sun bathed the pond and dockside in brilliant light 

and waited patiently for the tourists to arrive and enjoy the day's activities

Nope!
A little cloud cover and the threat of rain
didn't stop me from taking our nephew rock wall climbing ...

and getting some photos for him

... from the bottom when he reached the top...

Nor would the weather stop the mister from taking our nephew 

for some good old fashioned go cart racing!

I have always said that there is no use complaining about the weather...
it won't change a thing
and it could make you miss out on an opportunity to dance in the rain...

... or a fountain!

Utilizing the 'spray and pray' method of photography,
I took almost 1000 photos so there are more to come...
once I have had the chance to sort through them
