There is an old camp down the road from our cottage which has many wonderfully aged and worn buildings. We often walk around there when it is unoccupied. The camp was established in 1924 on a lovely point of land with a rocky shoreline. Between you and me, the camp has seen better days, which means it is filled with homey old-style weathered and worn docks and cabins.
Here are a few of the photos I took there this past weekend. The fall colours fit well with the chipping paint, don't you think?

Do you see those birch just past the cabin? That dastardly beaver has been at it again.
Here's a closer look. I'm not sure why the beaver stopped at this point, but we checked again the next day and he hadn't chewed any more. (You can see what the beaver did a few weeks ago to a birch along the shore from our cottage here.)
This seat carved from a stump is slowly decomposing. This has been a good year for mushrooms and fungi, as you can see on the seat.
I love this sign that is nailed to the dining hall. Does this child not like group sports and he's running away? Is he directionally challenged and can't find the sportsfield? Maybe he doesn't know left from right? Whatever the problem, this lad is not going to make it to the sportsfield any time soon.
