Back From Holidays
We visited Hawaii for the past two weeks to celebrate our 50th Anniversary.
A great place to go.
One of our first views of Waikiki Beach from the top of our hotel.

If I Were a Rabbit
The kids who gardened in Sweetman’s Garden this summer have a sense of humour…
…and artistic ability as well!
Were I a rabbit, I’d certainly take advantage!

Greenspace
These are photos of an open greenspace and ball-park complex in the middle of a residential neighbourhood here in North Bay. They are being traded for a giant sports complex which is being built on the edge of the swampland at the south end of town, some 8 or 9 kilometers away in the middle of nowhere. Originally 22 houses were to be built on the fields but the hew and cry from the people who live next to these spaces and see them as an important part of their environment got Council to “compromise” by reducing the number of houses to 5. As someone commented at a public meeting: “You’ve threatened to break both of my legs and now you’re going to “compromise” and break only one of them!”
The money from the sale of the land will be used to defray the cost of building the sports complex in the middle of nowhere.
Council seems to know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

Community Centre
On Cedar Heights road are the remnants of a community recreation centre.
Things change. The community has moved on. Only the silent echos of the games remain.

March Days
Darlings Harbour in Callander is the entry point for the traffic going to the ice-fishing huts on Callander Bay.
Quiet way to spend a day.

Gone Skiing
I spend Sunday mornings at our local ski hill helping the Nipissing Trackers provide an on-snow sliding program for disabled children. The Nipissing Association for Disabled Youth (NADY) is the sponsoring body and tremendous cooperation is provided by the ski hill as well.
This photo symbollizes the objectives of the Nipissing Trackers and of NADY.
Gone Skiing. See you later!
It’s a very rewarding activity and you get paid in smiles. What could be better?
