Every summer many Canadians are heading to their cottages.  But you do not have to own a cottage to live the cottage life.  There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors in summer.  Take out the chairs to your balcony, go down to the local park for a picnic,  go fishing, go for a bike ride and a drive out in the country, rent a boat for the day, hang out the washing etc.etc.  The list is endless.  I took pictures of the cottage life I enjoy…
