McGregor Bay, Ontario

A watery paradise

Born of light, water and granite escarpment, "The Bay" is a part of me. A wild reach of Lake Huron where weather rules the day, it is a watery paradise accessible only by seaplane or boat. Immersed or afloat in its reflecting and ever-changing depths, one is alternately stimulated, deeply relaxed and awed by the power of the place. The intimacy of these islands is palpable- sensuous forms of stone and thrusting stands of fir; essence of cedar and fish, bear fur and beaver, wolf howl and loon song. What is the meaning of life? You will likely find the answer here.
