Lake Rosseau Muskoka

OK, so I'm pining for summer, especially lakeside. This is one of my favourite Muskoka views, taken from the J.W. Marriott Resort on Lake Rosseau. Among these islands is the one that so impressed me as a teenager that it inspired my Muskoka Novels.

Interestingly, this is what it probably looked like 101 years ago during The Summer Before the Storm, as 19th century cottages still grace these rugged shores - among the many new luxury summer homes that carry on the tradition.
