Crystal Clear Night Skies

Here in Muskoka we have been enjoying cool sunny days and crystal clear night skies.  To really see the sky we walk down to the dock where we can get a wider view and then see what unfolds.  Often we have questions and lately we have gotten an answer.  What is that in the sky moving across so quickly  click here for the answer.  Put in the name of your city and see what we are seeing and be sure to turn your lights off at night, it saves the earth and helps us all enjoy the night sky.

Sunsets over Lake of Bays bordering Algonquin Park

Sunrises and sunsets have been amazing all week over Lake of Bays. Loons are still here enjoying as much of our Canadian fall as possible before the long trip south. Neighbour'ss talk of a group of 22 loons on a nearby lake and we can well imagine what an amazing sight that must have been. We are thankful for everyone who shares their stories with us!
