Cruisin' down a river on a Sunday afternoon

 My family sang this song in the good ol' days - when we were neither good nor old - in the days before car radio! How about that for "dating"!

I'll spare the words and spoil your eyes:

 

 

I wish everyone smooth sailing in the coming months.

Indigenous Peoples' Day: Monday, October 12

 It was on Thursday, July 28, 2022, ships time - I don't know - but the camera said it was 7pm, maybe EDST? I was about to meet Judy Kawalski - I had already met Martha Flaherty:

 

 

 So much warmth and understanding;

 Sunrise - hope but surrounded by arrows to where?

 

 
 Water, ice, sky, and snow - the day.

 

 

The sunset 

 

 These are my photos from on bord. However there is a full article with the full story here

The "way" to Autumn near "42"

 On a beautiful afternoon,

 Two locs pulling 3 dome cars west bound at the swing bridge over the Severn Canal.

New Airport

 I have to wonder at the location along side of the busy Trent-Severn.

My personal encounter around 13;00  today.

Lunar Occultation of Jupiter and satellites

 This was the setting

The weather co-operated - clear cold calm.

 

 And no "Moose" -

 

 The "dark" part of the Moon is illuminated by a nearly "full" Earth. The image is over exposed.

Possible better:

 

 Sorry about the multiple exposures in the image above. The satellites are between the double red bars or to the left of the single bars.

 

I managed to see the temperate belts, North and South, too:

 And then the hour-long wait -

 And the excitement - still clear and calm, and forget the cold in the excitement:

 Steady, boy!

 Theory meets practice - all is well in astronomy.

And peace and good will to the homo sapiens and the homo saps on Mother Earth, aka Turtle Island.

Autumn 1. Dalrymple

 Autumn is one of the four best seasons of the year: comfortable temperatures, beautiful colours and few, if any, pesky insects.

 

 

Is this what comes to mind? Spacious RGB ... ?

I personally like the touch water in its liquid form brings:

 

 Not what one thinks is alvar - the hand of man is also present.

 

One thinks of the 2nd season of bird migration:

 A might flood -

 

There still remain little biological patches of colour to enjoy for a few more days:

 

 

 I hope you are not colour blind and can enjoy what Nature provides,

Good things grow in Ontario - in "soil", not pavement. Get it?

 I returned to the spot where I saw the "Canadian" heron, born of immigrants, to see if it was still there. There was something!

 I hope it was the waves rocking the camera and not the camera man:

 May have seen the Bittern. Certainly saw both male and female Kingfishers. I won't post those photos unless a reader makes a request.
