It’s hard to believe that it’s still fall, with all the snow that’s being dumped on eastern Canada. Things are looking a little wintery on the homepage. In fact, there are a couple of items I would like to draw your attention to. First off, take a look at the Snapshot page. You will see some of the photos we received from our “Favourite Cottage Moment Contest.” We have selected Max Van Parys, the little guy with the big fish, as our winner for the Chantry Island bath robe. Way to go Max.

We always love seeing your photos and hearing what you’ve been up to. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the one with Debb and Doug, sitting on their newly purchased camp, at Lake Panache in Whitefish Ontario, is worth a thousand emotions too. Debb writes,

I recently came across this photo and it brought back some great memories. Doug and I had wanted a cottage for so long, but thought it was out of our reach financially. Long story short, we found THIS place and we haven’t looked back with even a second of regret. The day we signed the papers to make this place our own had to be the best cottage moment ever. Here we are on our second visit to the new place. We knew how much work was ahead of us, but also knew it was going to be a labour of love. We’ve come a L-O-N-G way since November 2003 when this picture was taken! From a shack to a castle, [well maybe not one fit for royalty!!] - but camp-sweet-camp to us!

Thanks Debb.

Every year Cottage Life sponsors a photo contest. While I can’t say I would have chosen this year’s winner, there was one that I absolutely loved. Be sure to click on this link and check it out - it will make you laugh out loud.

If you’re in the market for a new digital camera, www.dpreview.com is a good place to start. It provides product reviews on every camera available. There are also advertisers on the site, so you can do some comparative shopping. I recently purchased a Canon Digital Rebel XTi, and am pretty happy with it. It’s a step up from my old Canon A75 Powershot. I appreciate being able to shoot three frames per second, and the detachable lens mean that I can get better close-ups, great for photographing kids, dogs and wakeboarders.

If you have a photo you would like to share with us, send it to julie@cottagedaily.com.

Cheese,

Julie
