Welcome back to Ask Tom,

I took a little drive through Algonquin Park on the weekend and here is a picture of a youngish moose I came upon by chance. I pulled my car over to the side of the road a safe distance away from the Moose, turned off my car and rolled down the window. I was struck by the volume of sound that came from the forest - it was overwhelming and in the middle of it all was the young moose munching contently on low hanging branches. I stayed and watched him for quite awhile, no other cars came along to break the moment. It made me realize how lucky folks are in Huntsville and Lake of Bays to be so close to this kind of natural beauty. Get out there and enjoy it!

Hi and Welcome to Ask Tom,

My name is Tom. I am a painter living in downtown Toronto, I love to get away from the city and visit this beautiful community of Huntsville & Lake of Bays. I have a canoe, and during the summer months I head out to Algonquin Park with my sketch book and lose myself in the beauty of the wilderness.

After checking out http://www.huntsvilleadventures.com/ I found the perfect place to stay and I've made plans to go out for dinner later this evening. The town is really looking good. I was really impressed with what has been accomplished over the past few months. You really should take a walk down to River Mill Park just off the main street of Downtown Huntsville. They have built a really cool looking area for people to gather and have a cup of coffee or just to sit and enjoy the scenery.

I decided to come up to Huntsville a little early this weekend and enjoy some fresh air, and- great thing - no bugs!
Stay tuned and I'll fill you in on events and happening around town. If you have any questions, post a comment or question and I would be happy to answer it for you.
