Mill of Kintail - Winter Scenes (February 2015)

Mill of Kintail Conservation Area is a great all-season destination, just northwest of Almonte, Ontario. In winter, the solitude of a walk in the woods can be found there, along a mostly frozen Indian River. While it was mostly frozen, there were some crevices where the sights and sounds of rushing water was experienced. The historic Mill of Kintail structure also makes a few appearances in this video. The scenes were shot primarily along the Riverside and Old Road Trails.

Fall at the Mill of Kintail (Almonte, Ontario)

During a late afternoon in mid-October, 2014, I decided to visit Mill of Kintail Conservation Area, northwest of Almonte, Ontario. It is not only an excellent place to view the changing leaf colours. In addition to several nature trails, the conservation area also contains a former grist mill that doubles today as the R. Tait Mackenzie Museum. R. Tait Mackenzie was a military surgeon who became a sculptor later in life, and resided in the old mill. The building, which you will see during some later sequences in the video, was constructed in 1832. You can also view the Indian River (not to be confused with the other Indian River in Ontario, near Peterborough), which winds its way through the park.

A Visit to Morris Island Conservation Area

Last week, we decided to take a trip to the nearby Morris Island Conservation Area just outside of Fitzroy Harbour.

This 47-hectare property is managed by our friends at the Mississippi Valley Conservation Authority and offers birders a wonderful opportunity to spot a number of different bird species.

Series of videos chronicling some of Robert Tait McKenzie's art works on display at the Mill of Kintail Museum where McKenzie spent many summers.

In 1904-1911 McKenzie sculpted a bronze piece he titled, The Onslaught, his only group sculpture. The sculpture depicts a complicated, interweaving of young football players taking a stand on the line.
