Peace and Quiet

We rented a fully equipped, modern cabin at Riverview Lodge on Eleanor Lake in Whiteshell Provincial Forest for a few days this past week, hoping for some peace and quiet, away from Winnipeg.

We had Cabin 9. You can take a virtual tour of our cabin by going to http://www.riverviewlodge.ca/home

It was perfect for us and our two mutts. Right on the rocky beach of Eleanor Lake, we sat for hours watching the waves and the wildlife passing by. Lots of gulls, Canada geese, loons, Canada jays, ravens, northern flickers, chipmunks, squirrels, a huge painted turtle, minnows, and even a small sturgeon.


With the cabin facing west, the sunsets were beautiful. Even the morning light on the lake was nice, especially one morning with the mist drifting across the lake.


I've begun posting some of my other photos on my Flickr page if you're interested in seeing them.
