Lake Scugog, and Boating

Myself and a couple of friends decided to go for a bit of a bike ride yesterday, 60 Km later I`m home.

Our First Landmark...

The Erm... Cock-Mobile....

In the very Centre of Raglan, The, Vehicle, is a noticeable Landmark/Mascot for the Country Store/General Store there.

 Gary Climbing the Purple Woods Hill.

Mike doing the same.

 Lake Scugog

 This Place Looks like a great area to retire in.

Thats Probably the reason why the majority of the people that we saw while there were senior citizens. The downtown area is mostly made up of small cafés and boutiqué shops.

 Some Spider really went to town on this Bush 

 Kayak Fishing on the lake. This guy was out on the water for the entire time that we were there, so about 2 hours. Great weather for it though so I really can't say  would do any different.

 Beautiful Views along "Old Simcoe" road. 

Train!

 After Seeing how much fun That Guy was having on his Boat I decided that  wanted to go out on my own too. And by happy Coincidence Mat happened to call and he wanted to do just the same thing! The water at McLaughlin Bay was a bit choppy but still very nice to be on after a long and hot day of biking!

 My Fine Vessel!

The Curious Seagull!

This little guy must have been really hungry when I took this Picture he must have been no further from me than i could reach.

And What sort of Canadian Photographer would I be if I saw this great Photo Opportunity and didn't take it?

Anyway all-in-all Despite some more sunburn, and a great thirst following my day I think it was totally worth it!

My Timelapse Of most of an evening compressed into 45 seconds, Enjoy

Canada Day, O Canada.

So naturally it being July the first I did what every patriotic Canadian does, celebrated Canada Day! Naturally, if one lives in The Shwa or the surrounding region, this means a trip to the lake! 

 The "Midway" complete with Carnival Games and Rides!

 The Ferris Wheel!

 Oddly enough for some reason a lot of the prizes that could be won at the games were "Rasta Bananas" (Bananas that had the typical "Rasta man hat")

 Part of the Patting Zoo, This small Bunny had plenty of company in there with all the Turtles in there with him!

 Mr. Alligator, well Mr. Alligator Jr.

 The handler was nice enough to pose with the Baby Alligator for so that i could take this Picture.

 The sign on this ones Tank said "Monitor Lizard". I am extremely doubtful that it is a lizard and not a Baby Dragon.....

 Attack of the Giant Squid!

 Huge Crowd on the Beach getting ready for the Fireworks that cap the day off.

 Just Before Sunset at the lake even more people begin to crowd for the Fireworks

All in all a pretty nice Canada Day, although I think I Know that I over did it, as I ended up at the end of the day feeling quite ill. Turns out that I had a mild case of Hyperthermia, And felt very very cold despite running a fever of over a hundred and three for most of the night... Oh well I'll remember Sunblock next then for sure won't I?
