Winter Kayaking on Georgian Bay Ontario Canada
Georgian Bay rarely freezes over completely. It’s a big wide open body of water, and there is usually too much wind and waves for the lake to freeze. This provides for some very interesting phototography opportunities!
Paddling close to shore in a kayak in the early evening twilight among the large blocks of ice floating in the lake makes for a very dramatic and extreme looking adventure. It was a very careful paddle, most of the blocks of ice were floating and could be moved out of the way, but occasionally there was one that was stuck on the bottom, which presented a challenge.

Macro Ice Crystal Designs on a Frozen Stream in Winter
My son and I were hiking up at our family cottage on Georgian Bay and we came across a frozen stream that had some really interesting frozen patterns in the ice.

April in the Algonquin Backcountry – Early Spring Family Canoe Trip
After a long winter, as soon as the ice melts we’re always eager to get into the canoe and paddle the Algonquin backcountry.
This winter wasn’t notably harsh in the Algonquin Provincial Park area, but winter held on for a long time. By the end of April there was two feet of snow and the lakes were still frozen solid.
Hoping for a quick thaw, we decided to tie the red canoe to the car and head up north anyway – hoping to find some open water (and if not, snowshoe and hike cross country anyway)…
