August 2017: Tobermory vacation and solar eclipse

During the second last week of August, we rented a cottage in Tobermory with our friends Michelle and Greg and their kids Eli and Hannah. We absolutely loved the place and found endless things to do.

ABOVE & BELOW: We took a boat and walking tour of Flowerpot Island on the day of the solar eclipse.

ABOVE & BELOW: We got lucky by having some cloud cover during the eclipse — it made it easier to look up at within just a single pair of sunglasses. I took these photos hand-held.

ABOVE & BELOW: Near the end of the week, we took the ferry to Manitoulin Island and visited Bridal Veil Falls and the trail that runs beside the it’s river that drains into Lake Kagawong.

ABOVE & BELOW: The trail was quite charming; we saw lots of fairy doors installed in the nooks of trees and an art installation of metallic family of deer that the kids could crawl all over.
