Scenic Sunday Straight Out of the Camera We have experienced unusual weather here for November. It has been ranging around 10-16 degrees Celsius for the the last three weeks with very little rain. This time last year there was snow on the ground and it was -6 Celsius. Huge difference. I thought a little walk in the forest to celebrate was in order and I wanted to check out this pond I had found before. There was about 20 Mallard ducks at the pond, I had walked in quietly and being unaware of ... Read Full Story

SkyWatch Friday  The sun lights Golden skies with it's final breath of the day.  I was driving into this sunset and had to stop . I couldn't keep my eyes on the road. That brilliant orb was blinding in it's last light and the colours were so intense, but different from the colours I usually see in a sunset. The land had already given up it's light and colour for the day and the contrast was stark. Please go and visit other SkyWatch Fridays Posts from around the world! Read Full Story

I have always liked this picture. I was on this site as a rescuer for this job. It was a huge project and this was only one confined space in the area that we provided rescue for. The welder in this picture is cutting through the kiln to be able to remove a section for replacement. Have a great day! Read Full Story

The tail end of Fall is giving us great weather this last week in Southern Ontario. Temperatures have been above seasonal and no rain for a week. I have been taking advantage of this by getting all the things I procrastinate on and usually have to do in the cold, freezing my fingers, toes and nose. I took a little break and scoured the property looking to see what else may need doing and took my camera "Just in case". It looks so bleak with all the leaves off the trees, the only green left is... Read Full Story

Manners... or Lack of  Thanks to Kwadwo Kwarte on Flickr   I ensured my children were raised with manners. Old school manners in fact. They open the door for women and the elderly. They offer a coat when their wives or girlfriend get cold. They will excuse themselves if a burp sneaks out in public. I fear though that many of the other manners I taught them have gone down hill with the rest of the world.  I am amazed at the lack of manners in society today. Oh I can hear you... Read Full Story

SkyWatch Friday The skies here have been rather uneventful these last couple of weeks. Not that it hasn't been sunny the last week, it has! Just haven't been any where so nothing to see. I went into the archives and pulled out this pic from when I was in Holland visiting a friend. I had arrived that morning, was jet lagged and decided I needed a walk to clear my head. I couldn't believe my luck when I saw this! The building where all the windows are reflecting the gorgeous blue of the sky w... Read Full Story

  Despite his new single, ‘Transform You’ featuring Lil’ Wayne and Swizz Beatz, being an absolute banger, Chris “Woman-Beater” Breezy’s comeback looks as bad as Rihanna did that fateful night. Too soon? Sources have confirmed that the ticket sales of his “comeback” tour are pitiful, disastrous even. Prior to February, Chris was selling out 20,000 plus seat arenas filled with mothers and daughter alike. Now, Home-slice can’t even sell... Read Full Story

Main Street Georgetown 1900I have found a wonderful site about Georgetown and surrounding towns history, The Esquesing Historical Society. I found many fine pictures there. I hope you find the old photos amusing if not interesting!In 1781, the British Government bought blocks of land form the Mississauga Nation. In 1818 the purchase that was made would become the townships of Esquesing and Nassagaweya. Later known as Halton Region. Georgetown, so named in 1837, is in this region.This is back ...
