Old Wooden Boat
I am in an area where there is lots of boating history and many restored wooden boats from the early to mid 1900s. This boat is parked at the Muskoka Boat and Heritage Centre. The lines of these older crafts are simply beautiful.

Snag Tree
This minimal image shows the tops of what are called Snag Trees or dead standing trees. Seen at the Muskoka Wildlife Centre, they are described as follows: "These trees can be used by insects, amphibians, mammals and birds for feeding, nesting and hibernating."

Goldenrod
Goldenrod is a late summer blooming wild plant in many parts of the world. Not a cause of allergies as many people think., it is pollinated by insects. Very bright and yellow, Goldenrod is a perennial in the genus Solidago.

Purple Spikes
Not sure what kind of flowers these are, any ideas? Late summer bloomers and likely perennials, they make a lovely mass planting. Close up they resemble a hillside of trees. Update – thanks to Meanderer for identifying these lovely flowers – they are Astilbe chinensis or Chinese astilbe.

38 Hudson Detail
Last Saturday I visited the 9th annual Shades of Autumn Antique, Classic and Custom Car Show in Huntsville, Ontario. It was great! This is an art deco hood ornament from a 1938 Hudson pickup truck.
