TIME FOR SKY WATCH FRIDAY CANADIAN SKIES TODAY

Linda and I are back from vacation and wish we weren’t (to many problems to take care of). I’m sure looking at beautiful skies from all over the world AT SkywatchFriday will help. The following pictures were taken at Lake Anima-Nippising or the French River area of Ontario Canada.

This photo is my favorite so I thought I would play with it a little.

 Not always blue  Just Clouds And Trees

Thanks Canada for a great vacation.

CANADIAN VACATION 2009 LAKE ANIMA-NIPISING LATCHFORD,ONTARIO

First stop Breechwood Lodge located on lake Anima-Nippising on an island about 10 km from the landing. A big thanks to Gayle and Jim Deck the owners of the lodge. (SOME QUALITY TIME AT BREECHWOOD)

Pictured above is the Breezewood Cabin. Just about all the amenities of home.

Now how about some fishing with the help of our guide Ted R.

Some pickerel for dinner.. Don’t you just hate it when your sister catches a bigger fish than you do. We did have a pickerel dinner. All the rest of the fish were “catch and release.”  Fish we caught: pickerel,small mouth bass, pike,and pan fish. The fishing was great . I know you want to know where we caught the fish and I’m going to tell you. We caught them “in the lake” 

I’m afraid I gained weight on this vacation….

Other reasons for a “wilderness” vacation: Peace,Serenity, Beautiful Scenery, and “QUALITY TIME”

 

That’s all for this post: No fish hook in the finger yet, but stay tuned. Thanks Joe Todd and Linda.

IVE GONE A WANDERING. NO POSTS FOR A LITTLE WHILE,BUT WHEN I’M BACK I WILL NOT SLACK CAUSE A WANDERING I WILL HAVE GONE

 “There's fish in the ocean, and eels in the sea
And everywhere I haven't been, that's where I want to be .” Roger McGuinn)( Folk Link)

 I know when I’m going. Know who’s going with me.Know who I love, But Dear Lord knows where I’ll be.

 Feather beds are soft. And painted rooms are bonny
But I would leave them all To go a wandering with you. (Picture from LilyFest 2009)

(Bike trail from Newark to Johnstown,Ohio)

“There's sunshine in the heart of me,
My blood sings in the breeze;
The mountains are a part of me,
I'm fellow to the trees.
My golden youth I'm squandering,
Sun-libertine am I;
A-wandering, a-wandering,
Until the day I die.”

“To pitch my tent with no prosy plan,
To range and to change at will;
To mock at the mastership of man,
To seek Adventure's thrill.
Carefree to be, as a bird that sings;
To go my own sweet way;
To reck not at all what may befall,
But to live and to love each day.”

A Rolling Stone 
BY
Robert Service

“A barefoot tramp 
brushes the dust of the world away
What can I do in such an hour,
O my thousand-colored world—except
gather this red beauty Into the wind’s purse
and bring it home for supper.” PARAPHRASE

Yiddish Sunset Poem by (former Vilna Partisan) Abraham Sutzkever

DAY TRIP TO LILYFEST IN THE HOCKING HILLS AREA JUST OUTSIDE LANCASTER,OHIO

LilyFest 2009 is a three day event in the hocking hills area of Ohio.(Donations accepted) There are 3 ACRES of artistically designed gardens, ponds and garden sculptures and 70+ AREA ARTISTS displaying, demonstrating and marketing their products.

Now for a few pictures:

One of the area artists is Mr. Ed Kitchen of Lancaster,Ohio.

Ed is the tall fellow in the black shirt and let me tell you he has been working pretty hard. Take a second and check out his blog Ed Kitchen Paintings

How about a little music:

Let’s check out a couple vendors:

Maybe I’ll help Linda with some cleaning. A new broom might help. (LOL)

Things started to get Prickly as we went by the cactus display:

So we stopped by Annie’s Cheese Cake (vendor at the Fest) for a sandwich & soda and sat under the tree house.

As you probably know by now I am always thinking about golf. So imagine my surprise when I found the wooden putter.

(Can’t see my stomach in that picture)

While I was checking out the putter guess what Linda found?  (BEARS)

Well there was one whole section I didn’t mention on purpose.

  So you will just have to find out by getting out there yourself.(Or maybe in another post)
