I'm Back!!

7/13/2022

We are back home again after a few days up north. Jan wanted to go to his favourite kayaking place up at Killarney, on Lake Huron's Georgian Bay. We bring a canoe as well so I can go out for a bit as well, but I can't sit in a canoe for very long, so most of my time is always spent either knitting, or taking photos of my dolls.

I decided to take along two separate sets of dolls this time; the five completed House elves and dragons; as well as my eight little contemporary Kaye Wiggs girls. They've never been up there before. This was some of the stuff I had gathered to take along, but it doesn't include all the bigger props, like tents, camper, picnic tables, bikes, and other larger stuff....

I try consider what photos I might want to take, and take everything I might need accordingly. The RV has lots of storage space, so it's best to be prepared, even if some of it never gets used.

The shoreline of Georgian Bay is spectacular with all the bare, red granite rocks...

We like to stay at a private campground in the town of Killarney, and like the spot on the rocks overlooking Killarney Bay....

It's total wilderness. No electricity, no wifi, no TV, no computers....

Just the peace of nature...

I took lots of photos of the elves and dragons....

...and of my little Kaye Wiggs girls....

..and watched as Winston and Saphira's relationship blossomed.

Anyways, now it's clean-up time, and I have hundreds of photos to go through and process. So stay tuned for the stories of everyone's adventures up north.

It looks like a lovely spot in which to vacation. And yeaaa, there are behind the scenes photos.

I love the Kaye Wiggs girls having a picnic. I like the photos of the dragon sweethearts. My favorite photo is the one with Jan and the dragons.

Thanks. It is a gorgeous area, with some of the most spectacular scenery in the country (in my opinion)

I tried to remember to take photos with Jan and the dragons when we went out in the canoe with them the one morning. I had them inside a garbage bag so they wouldn't get wet.

It is. It's nice and quiet, with hardly any cottages. There's a huge Provincial Park but their campsites are always fully booked, so we just stay in a private place in town (which has no services, but a great view of a sheltered bay) then we get a day pass if we want to go into the park and use their facilities, like taking a canoe out Chikanishing Creek to explore the shoreline of Georgian Bay. There is no development along the shores of the Park. Just bare rocks, trees, and water. And there's hardly ever anyone else.

Killarney is such a beautiful place! It has been 50 years since I camped there last, but your photos take me back there like it was yesterday.

You must be a wizard yourself to organize and pack all the dolls and props you took along. I'm looking forward to all your photos!

The place doesn't really change much. I think it's one of the most beautiful places in Canada, right up there with Newfoundland, the Rockies, and Vancouver Island.

It's always a job trying to foresee what props I might use, and then to have to gather them all together. It helps being very familiar with where we are going, so I can sort of pre-plan what I'd like to do. then it's all up to the weather, and how much pain I'm in. I think my days of getting down on the ground are about over, because I'm really paying for it now.

I'm Back!!
