CCS Contest : Camping Club Steemit - The Beauty of Nature here in Eastern Ontario Canada 🇨🇦steemCreated with Sketch.

in CCSlast year (edited)

This is my Entry for the Camping Club Steemit Beauty of Nature Contest for the month of March …

These are photos from the nearby Rideau River in Eastern Ontario Canada. The Rideau River runs from Kingston to Ottawa… the Capital City of Canada. We are about 1/2 way between these 2 cities. I will include a map below. This part of Ontario is covered with fresh water lakes, rivers and streams where we spend the winter ice fishing and the summers kayaking and camping. Especially in nearby Algonquin Park.

The weather on the 1st day of March was quite mild … it came in like a Lamb … which usually means that the end of March will go out like a Lion… a ferocious Winter Blizzard… Sometimes we get 6’ of snow in one day which results in massive floods in April and May. I hope they are wrong and we don’t get any more huge snow storms.

Ahh the joy of living in North Eastern Canada … ❄️ ❄️ ❄️

The Ice Crystal photo below was taken from the crevice of the buckling ice you see in the photo above. I had to get down low to get this photo and my hands nearly froze off trying to get the perfect shot.

Can you see the ice crystals above … lower left on photo.

This is me, yes it is still freezing cold here. I sure hope it warms up soon, we are running out of fire wood.

This is what it should look like in a few weeks …

Lola will miss the snow … but then there is all that mud to roll around in. Through the months of April, May and sometimes June Lola turns into a little brown bear 🐻…. Covered in mud.

Hi, your photos are great, I've only seen snow three times in my life and it fascinates me a lot. Though I've never lived in the cold for a long time...so I think I have a bit too romantic vision of it :D. Your places are beautiful, Canada is one of my dream destinations, I hope to reach there one day. Lola is super cute! Greetings from Italy

Yeah… the snow looks pretty but the winters are long here. I know that Italy gets snow in the North. My family is from Calabria … Dipignano… but came to Canada in 1920’s … I went to School in Rome for a year to study Architecture. … I would love to move back to Italy some day. Sardinia, Italy is one of my dream destinations.

Really? What an interesting story! Mayby someday we can exchange our houses, you here and me in Canada :D

That would be wonderful…. If you want to see lots of snow We usually get the most between December and March … the best summer weather is in August. … when is best time to visit Sardinia ? To go kayaking on the Sea. … I can send more information via email. [email protected]

I guess Christmas time must be wonderful there under the snow! I think the best time to visit Sardinia is spring and early autumn, in summer the temperature can rise too high, and august is the most crowded month.

Yes…. Christmas is wonderful here in Northern Ontario.
