As we approach Kenora and Lake of the Woods, there are still lots of rock and thick forests but the trees are smaller and the roads are getting longer views. It was very misty to begin with but it had cleared when I took this. We are beginning to see a lot of birds, including a Canada goose family by the road.

We came to a beautiful little town with trees and gardens, right on the highway. We had never heard of this town, Neepawa, but we liked it so much that we found a motel and stayed.

We thought the town looked very much like our home, Oakville, in Southern Ontario, and when we found a plaque that said the town was settled by people from Southern Ontario, we knew why. There were also some amazing heritage perennial plants, a lily festival later in the summer and Margaret Lawrence's childhood home.
