The first few weeks of September brought clear skies and warm temperatures without much humidity. The nights were cool causing morning mist to form.
With the end of summer on the calendar, the weather changed, bringing clouds and rain. The best part about clouds are the sunsets.

The Canadian Canoe Museum backs onto Little Lake, a widening in the Trent-Severn Waterway. The waterway is a 386-kilometre-long (240 mi) canal route that connects Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay in Lake Huron. According to Wikipedia, its major natural waterways include the Trent River, Otonabee River, Kawartha Lakes, Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching and Severn River.
On the museum property a canoe house and docks provide the opportunity to paddle the lake.
Inside the museum, the exhibits feature over 100 watercraft from across Canada and beyond. In addition, there more than 600 canoes, kayaks and paddled watercraft in storage.
Outside, we enjoyed the sunshine and the trail along the lake.
There were a few birds perched in trees or foraging for seeds.
