Looks like a perfect weekend to get out and about and as usual there are a host of activities for a variety of interests:
Red Hot Blues @ Dominion Hotel
I’ve not yet checked out the music scene at the Dominion Hotel in Minden but it’s on my list of summer fun time activities. I’m very carefully planning to be sure and partake of the many fun things that somehow I’ve missed out on thus far whilst staying on Maple Lake as I’ll be there both this spring and summer. If you are in the Minden area this weekend, check this duo out!
There are many more activities this weekend and beyond so be sure to click on the thumbnails to enlarge and read all about them!

From charitable events with an emphasis on support of communities in the Highlands, to a chance to meet real-time Iditarod adventurer Hank DeBruin to African Film Night and much more, there is always something happening in the Haliburton Highlands that appeals to a diverse range of interests. Speaking of ‘diverse’, that is one word to describe south eastern Ontario weather of late. I snapped some southern Ontario webcam shots today, April 24, which should give you an idea of conditions in the area right now. Pretty pictures/cold weather.
‘Twas long ago my 5 year-old son documented some of his time on Maple Lake in Ontario Canada with his first camera:
Here is part of his perspective on Maple Lake:

If I recall we waited a while for it not to be raining to go for a boat ride that summer but it always seemed to be…so we went anyway.

Through Chris spent quite a bit of time on Maple Lake he never really took to it the way I had. For one, he’s not all that thrilled with swimming, which the lake is perfect for.

In re: this week’s Haliburton Highland’s weather: April showers bring May flowers!
I’ve managed to snag some lovely webcam snaps from throughout southern Ontario today. I’m delighted to say the the quality of the webcam shots available has increased quite a bit of late (Thank you, theweathernetwork.com). Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for this week’s weather though some folks might greet it with relief that it is a return, with just an exception or two, to seasonal temperatures (precipitation looks normal as well).
