Outer Fox Sunset
A fantastical twilight graces the Outer Fox Islands, in the French River delta on the north shore of Georgian Bay. This is a super resolution panorama, capable of prints of any size. Click image to view larger.
Factory Fresh
The Red Rock lighthouse looks like it just came off the showroom floor with a fresh coat of paint from top to bottom. She hasn’t looked this good in years – thanks @coastguardcan!
Stars Over Doubletop
Epic stars come out over the lovely octagonal lighthouse on Doubletop Island, in the remote Western Islands group.
Snug Storm Clouds
Storm clouds darken the skies over the light at Snug Habour, sister light to Jones Island.
Pale Corydalis
A Georgian Bay Valentine. Pale Corydalis blooms on a gorgeous summer’s day on the Snake Islands, offshore from Parry Sound. Happy Valentine’s Day!
McCoy Alert
Proving that they’re great swimmers, a gorgeous deer bides its time offshore on Big McCoy Island. Deer were also spotted offshore in Cognashene and on the Cathcarts this season.
Voyageur Neowise
Comet Neowise competes with the lights of Killarney over the Voyageur Channel, part of the French River provincial park.
Bustard Neowise
Comet Neowise competes with the setting moon and the lights of Sudbury over the unique lighthouse and twin ranges of the Bustard Rocks.
Neowise Junction
Comet Neowise burns in the night sky over the Cross Channel, in the French River delta.
Doubletop Moonlight
The full moon lights up the lovely Doubletop Island octagonal lighthouse in mid December. November waves have washed away part of the walkway that you can see in the foreground.
Inundation
A wave completely dwarfs the Red Rock lighthouse during a December storm. A good day to be off the water.
Granite Highway
Travel the granite highway. Take off your shoes, and let the summer rock warm your feet as the sun contemplates the western horizon.
Exciting Times
A powerful storm front brings sunshine and torrential rains to the Outer Fox Islands in the northeast corner of the Bay. Click image to view larger.
Uncommon Loon
A loon spreads its wings at the mouth of Twelve Mile Bay in late September. The chick behind it can’t yet fish for itself, so it’s a race against time for this chick to grow up before the end of the season.
Shirt Tails
Twilight settles over the granite pools of the Shirt Tails, a lovely archipelago that borders the Outer Fox Islands in the northeast corner of the Bay. The Bustard islands lie on the horizon, here looking west.
Sunrise Fire
The January sun rises over the ice-encrusted lighthouse on Doubletop Island in the Western Island group while heavy steam shrouds the horizon during a -25°C cold snap.
Ice Watch April 16 2019
Will you look at that: it’s snowing in Toronto, but the French River is opening up with the Spring rush. Fast ice is retreating towards the shoreline, but the Bustards and the Minks remain solidly encased. Winter’s doing its best to hang on this season.
Ice Watch March 26 2019
Excellent progress in the last couple of weeks! Surface ice has degraded significantly, and fast ice has retreated behind the outlier islands like Lonely in the northwest and Doubletop in the southeast. Mayhaps the portents of doom and gloom were too premature this year?
Ice Watch March 10 2019
Welcome to the Georgian Bay Ice Watch for Spring of 2019! We begin the festivities looking…like the middle of February in 2015. Sigh. The Bay is covered in ice almost clear across, with heavy fast ice gripping the entire north channel and eastern coastlines right down through Cognashene. Temperatures are forecast to start dipping above […]
Gereaux Untitled
Clouds carry the threat of much-needed rain over the lighthouse on Gereaux Island. The next day would see uncontrolled forest fires burn just to the north, between Key River and Henvey Inlet.
