This unique formation of rock is found on the eastern shore of Lake Manitoba, about 200 miles north of Winnipeg, and a few miles north of our summer home. The cliffs of Steep Rock are made of limestone and over thousands of years, wave action has molded them into sheer drops, caves and other unusual geological formations. It is also one of the most photographed locations in Manitoba. These cliffs become quite spectacular at certain times of the year, just at sunset when they reflect the colour of the sky and will actually appear to glow. So far, I’ve managed to miss this phenomenon but will definitely keep trying. Thanks for viewing & commenting on my summer memories, I really enjoy sharing them with you.... 04/01/19
This is where we spend our summers. Our RV is on the right, the one on the left is our ‘guest house’, a cozy place for all our family & friends to stay. We hope to build a cottage in the near future which will mean we can spend much more time here in the colder weather. I would love to be here more in the winter, the photo ops would be wonderful. In the meantime, we have everything we need (and more!) right here… can’t wait to get back up there, but it will probably be another month before it’s possible … sigh…. 03/31/19 ps.. the homemade lounger in the pic is for the dogs, with an added cushion of course - our people furniture tends to be much more comfortable.. lol.
Seems like that is the theme of almost all of my photos from last summer…. this is a shot taken from our front deck, another storm approaching. We get many storms over the summer, the 2 bodies of water in the middle of the continent tend to create all the conditions necessary for rain, wind & even tornados, so it pays to always be aware of the weather. Hope you are all enjoying a beautiful spring weekend, camera in hand! 03/30/19
