Ontario

While visiting Ontario I had a chance to go to 'cottage country' and hang out with my family by the lake. Such a huge change of scenery from the high country of the Rocky Mountains to the Canadian Shield and all those lakes! Pretty awesome!

 

The colours are changing quickly

Go Jays Go!

Got a chance to see a Jays game when visiting Toronto. Though we lost, it was great to be there and share in the excitement. I hope to be able to go back and watch more games, so let's hope they can pull off the win today, though they are down 3-2- in the 7th inning! C'mon Jays!

Oh Yeah...Blue Jays Playoff Game!!

Can you spot me in this photo? Haha!! Go Jays Go!!

Before Go-Pro!

Got a laugh out of this photo.

What a concept!

Public Art

After hearing some more complaints about recent public art in Calgary, I looked into some of the sculpture that was commissioned in other cities around the world, plus a few peices that were installed by home owners privately.

 

The art installation of LED lights on this sewage lift station apparently has people in an uproar for some reason?

Fall Camping And The Ultimate Workout!

It would take me an hour to chainsaw through this big boy and 5 minutes for the tree buncher

This thing will make the chips fly!

That's one big saw blade!

Future firewood

The 'Timber King' makes short work of these big Poplars

A few years worth of firewood piling up

Some work done but plenty (!!!) to do yet

A nice bed of coals as we let the fire die for the night

A big fire helps take away the evening chill

My poor quality photo does no justice to this full moon

I met this unusual looking spider while chopping wood

Torch Two

Torch Motorcycle Handbuilt Exhibition wrapped up their 10 day show on the weekend past and by all accounts, everything went really well and the exhibition was a huge success. Kudos to Patti Derbyshire and Bernie May for putting together such a great show and making it interesting and relevant!

BlueCircle's Kelly Blackwood came by to hear the presentation by Ride Stop n Go

What a great old MV Agusta

Do you recognize this brain bucket?
