A super fun week with out of town guests who came to enjoy the beach. We managed to have a family get together at our place. A highlight was a trip to Parry Sound to see (for the first time) my sister’s new cottage, accessible only by water on Georgian Bay.

Sunday, June 30th, 2019 – My parents and my brother and my family joining me for my daily walk down Wasaga Beach on the holiday weekend.
Sunday, June 30th, 2019 – Steph and Andrew and Wasaga Beach
Sunday, June 30th, 2019 – We had out of town guests for the Canada Day weekend. Taken on our back deck. A treat to see everyone.
Saturday, July 6th, 2019 – Barb just ahead of me as we trek from the dock up to their cottage near Parry Sound – Still a work in progress (the deck is new) but it’s already awesome.
Saturday, July 6th, 2019 – A view from Barb’s cottage – a free-floating section of dock. The water levels on Georgian Bay are so high that this extra dock section isn’t needed so it’s a diving / sun bathing platform.
Saturday, July 6th, 2019 – A trip up to my sister’s camp near Parry Sound – in a protected bay off Georgian Bay accessible only by water.

Piping Plovers are an endangered species along Georgian Bay. Every year, volunteers engage in a serious expert to protect the nesting area for these birds from predators (mostly humans disturbing nesting areas along sandy beaches)  – https://www.ontario.ca/page/piping-plover . This week I found it funny that I saw several piping plovers. They are small and fast and I only managed to get a picture of one.

Monday, June 24th, 2019 – You can pose for pictures at the Piping Plover preservation area east of Beach One.
Monday, June 24th, 2019 – For some reason I found this pretty funny – after walking past all the secure areas where Piping Plovers are protected by watchful volunteers and cages to protect them from predators, this little guy jump out right in front of me outside the protected area.
Tuesday, June 25th, 2019 – A Piping Plover information booth manned by a steady stream of awesome volunteers protecting this endangered species.
