Description
The Plein Air Painters Thousand Islands Region (PAPTIR) started and organized by Robert Hedden were having their August paint out close to Singleton Lake. Although I was just back from the Dumoine Art Camp, I felt I still needed to paint some more.
This property is referred to as GleannaLea Refuge and it is indeed a sanctuary. All forms of wildlife share the property unmolested. Three large grey rat snakes live in the renovated barn. I tired not to step on the countless garter and Northern water snakes. There is even a power supply transformer that looks very much like a large black bear. Dragons and butterflies are also prevalent...
The grandson of the owners once claimed to have seen a bear on the island and ever thereafter, the heavily treed island had been known as "Bear Island" in honour of that sighting. That is how the land gets named. There are indeed many "Bass Lakes" and maybe someone once caught a bass in the surrounding waters. Life is funny.
