More snow today on Manitoulin Island ... even school buses are cancelled for the second day in a row ... so we imagine Spring! Heidi, our senior golden doodle models a flower crown. Patience is a virtue, indeed. Do you have a #ThursdaySmile to share? 💕 #DogsofBlueSky #ThursdaySmile #manitoulinmagic

Our dear friend Anna, from Finland, was visiting us here on Manitoulin Island. Anna explored our shores and captured Manitoulin's heart! 💕 (And she will be the subject of an upcoming painting!) #manitoulinmagic # travel #northernontario #eastcoastkin

Sunset at my favourite beach on Manitoulin Island. I needed inspiration today to seek positivity and not listen to the news. Hope this works for you, as well. #eastcoastkin #BlueSky #nature #firewithin #photography

We need some cheery vibes like this happy butterfly in the gardens at Perivale Gallery on Manitoulin Island. #SundayYellow #butterfly #nature #wildlifephotography

I miss my Perivale gardens during the winter, but poring over my flower and insect photographs in February makes my heart sing. #Photography #InsectThursday #manitoulinmagic #flowers #bumblebees

Hey fellow Canadians If you are a listener of CBC Radio I’ll be on The Current (National not local) around 6:45AM tomorrow morning to talk about my award winning #fox photo #wildlife #wildlifephotography

Thanks to you guys, I do wet my plants -- very often. It has done wonders for the tropical trees that I am growing indoors under lights in the snowbound Great White North of Canada.

Beautiful destination for art lovers! Opening day memory at Perivale Gallery on Manitoulin Island a few seasons ago. buff.ly/2VTTEJB #AlphabetChallenge #WeekIforInside #TravelPhotography

Rest in pieces, Foxy! Jazz loved you to bits! 💕 #fox #DogsofBlueSky #foxoftheday

We enjoyed 3 wonderful days in Bergen, Norway in late September. Definitely a highlight of our tour of Scandinavia. Seafood galore, wonderful restaurants and beautiful walks in colourful alleys! #Bergen #travel #Norway

Statue of Norwegian playwright and theatre director Henrik Ibsen in Bergen, Norway. He looks demented. I have a feeling that the sculptor wasn’t one of his fans. We loved our time in Bergen! #travel #Bergen #theatre

In Gore Bay, on Manitoulin Island (the world's largest freshwater island) the deer wander freely through town. This fawn down by the bay is enjoying the wildflowers. #SundayYellow #naturephotography #wildlifephotography #deer #wildlife

Lovely fox keeps an eye from a distance as my dogs and I leave home and make our way to the car. Luckily the girls were focused on "car ride" and took no notice. #fox #foxes #nature #naturephotography #manitoulinmagic

When Molly was a baby golden doodle, she looked like a cuddly teddy bear. She still has that cowlick on her muzzle! #Dogs #DogsofBlueSky #puppy #puppylove

Just kidding around again. I love to hug baby goats in the sunshine on beautiful Manitoulin Island. Best medicine ever! 💕 #goat #manitoulinmagic #love

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

Tulips from Valentine's Day (gift from hubby) are always such a mood booster on frigid winter days. They greet me each day like a cheery smile! #TulipsTuesday #flowers #tulips
