Eye Candy: Paradise

Sorry for the spotty posting this week. Crazy week getting ready to go to the spot pictured above and environs.
Now I'm there. (Or will be, soon.)
And I won't be posting.
Going to unplug.
Happy Labour Day weekend to everyone!
Vanessa
PS It's Indian Head Cove on the Bruce Peninsula. The famed grotto is nearby.

Eye Candy Friday

Eye Candy Friday was started by a knitting blogger as a way to break up the tedium of Friday afternoons -- you know those days, when you're just waiting to go home for the weekend?
I've been posting pictures when I want to, but thought I'd call this one Eye Candy Friday since it is, indeed, Friday.
Having spent an extended Labour Day weekend at the Bruce Peninsula, I have a complete library of stunning shots to share with you during the coming weeks.
This is the beach near The Grotto. Yes, the water really is that colour with no retouching required. A first view of the place is a gasp-inducing experience.
Also gasp-inducing is actually getting into the frigid water, though get in we did in order to swim about ten minutes to The Grotto, which was well worth it. The alternative is a tricky hike down a rocky cliff face.
The Grotto is a lovely cave that has a hole in its wall leading out to Georgian Bay. When it's sunny, as it was when we were there, the hole positivley glows with aqua-green beauty. The hole was completely underwater when we visited, but I've heard that it can be partly above water.
Enjoy!
