bayfield ontario sunset

Sunset in Bayfield, Ontario; overlooking Lake Huron from Pioneer Park.

For many people in Southwestern Ontario, the epitome of beauty in summertime can be found in a Lake Huron sunset. The Huron Coast is long, spanning 325 kilometres from the Town of Tobermory in the north to the City of Sarnia in the south. This photo is from the idyllic village of Bayfield, located along the central-south section of the coast, just south of the historic town of Goderich. We had the pleasure of visiting on August 12 and 13, 2015. On the evening of the 12th, with our stomachs full from a good meal at the Black Dog Village Pub & Bistro, and fresh frozen yogurt from across the street, we ventured down the road to Pioneer Park, where flat land meets cliff side and a rocky beach below. As the sun disappeared slowly to the west, a small group of weekday visitors looked on in amazement. The Lake Huron sunset happens every day along this coast, and it never gets old.

Our Christmas tree and decoration stand

From our home to yours, I wish you all a gentle and restful Christmas and holiday season full of love, warmth, celebration, togetherness, spirit (spirits!) and adventure.

For some families that I know, all they will be asking for this year is solace. I wish them days of comfort and serenity.

I’ll never forget the valour of the soldiers, the endless emotional burden for the veterans, the vivacious young men that never made it home, the anguish and despair and brotherhood the likes of which I will never realize, and the incredible price of freedom.
