We spent the evenings while making dinner listening to canadian radio, which is so much more interesting than american, perhaps due to the accent, or the intriguing shows on native peoples, or the stations from montreal. I made my gramom's cake and two loaves of bread in the tiny kitchen listening to a french station I loved and the fact that I couldn't really understand much was trivial.
We experimented cooking with coconut milk, hiked to a bluff overlooking a beaver pond, counted 8 snake sightings during the week, and the raccoons ate the trash on the last night.
This is just the kind of vacation that we love. Lots of reading, relaxing, being outdoors, animal-watching, primitive living, good cooking, me toting a camera around, and hopefully a nice road trip to take us there.
I've been enjoying reading about your vacation experiences in the comments of the last few posts. What do you typically do on vacation? What makes the world seem perfect for you as you are away from home in a special place?
Just wondering.

Yes. Definitely perfect. I would like to find a place like that within a few hours that is dog-friendly.
I think I have a few different types of vacations that I enjoy, it depends on my mood. Except good food and a camera and reading are musts (even if I don't use my camera as much on vacation, I still like to have it with me). But I equally like being outdoors in nature or wandering through cute little shops and art galleries and bookstores. (I don't get the latter as often with Atlas in my life .. so I definitely appreciate the times when I do.)
these photos are so soft. and rustic. and peaceful. the epitome of a perfect vacation.
i can almost hear the smart canadian radio shows.
when i'm away. i love waking up with no agenda. getting into a mode of deep relaxation. and being somewhere where i can connect with nature. be on her rhythm.
I love your perfect vacation! The photo of the puzzle with the gummy bears is my favorite :)
We often play lots of cards, go camping, drink hot chocolate and eat trail mix. Every summer includes at least one road trip (this past summer was most epic!) and taking copious amounts of walks in the sun and wind. We like to go down to the water and watch ducks swim and beg for the tips of ice cream cones...
Your vacation looks like the perfect vacation to me too. The cabin in the woods, the books, the dog . . .
Thanks.
i love completely unplugging. no phone. no tv. no computer. just books and cameras and quiet. the ind of quiet where you reacquaint yourself with the sound of your own breath and heartbeat. i love the freedom to wake and sleep when i wish, and eat fresh yummy foods with my fingers.
Hey there! I'm trying to catch up with my flickr contacts but this is the first time I've clicked over to your blog! Love it! And what a perfect vacation, indeed. I too love Canadian radio. Beautiful photos.
It looks lovely. Great photos!
