Roll On - J.J. Cale 🎸

"If the sun don't shine this evening
And the rain is falling down
Don't grieve just 'cause it's cloudier
C'mon down to the corner
We're having a party there ..."

Roll On - J.J. Cale 

 

Watching the Hummingbird before the rain

                        There's only one bird that can fly backwards, and upside down!

       And every year, they visit us starting in the spring because we've planted a garden just for them, 

         and the monarch butterflies. 

                 The amazing thing is before migrating south for the winter, 

                              these tiny birds double their body weight. 

                       They then undertake a non-stop 20-hour flight across the Gulf of Mexico, 

                       traveling roughly 800 kilometres over open water without a single break.

       This is the male ruby-throated hummingb

 Wish there were more places around here I could drive off-road

    Maybe we should move away from the crowded city

To someplace where there are no people or roads

 

Hiking at Mizzy Lake, Algonquin Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada

For old times sake, the kids (now grown up and settled) said 

"let's go together for a hike at Mizzy Lake".

So we did just that. 

This time we stayed at Huntsville, Ontario, Canada, and explored the area.

 

    

Yes, it's my 60th birthday, and my wife and kids know what I enjoy doing on my birthday

We have hiked the Mizzy Lake trail for almost twenty years.

The parking lot was full, and this time we didn't see any wildlife

But we had fun! 

 

 

What a beautiful sunset over Huntsville, Ontario, Canada
