My work is being destroyed
~ Al Capp
almost as soon as it is printed.
One day it is being read;
the next day someone’s wrapping fish in it.

Porte Ponderings:
The newspaper is in grave danger of being lost forever as more and more close down.
Soon we won’t have anything to wrap our fish in.
Behold the turtle.
~ James Bryant Conant
He makes progress
only when he sticks his neck out.

Lilly pads retreating as the clear fresh water exposes the algae and leaves below.
Perfect water to kayak in and glide suspended over the blooms below.
Fish darting around and turtles climbing onto logs for sunbathing.
Sunny fall days.
Protected by the shores.
Spring fed waterway with little variation in water temperature.
Canada Geese honking in the background.
Turkey vultures gliding overhead.
Everything can change

in the blink of an eye.
But don’t worry;
God never blinks.

The first day of Autumn and I finally got a chance to go kayaking on the Old Ausable Channel. There was no wind and the water was like a sheet of glass reflecting the shores. At the far end of the Pinery, by the bridge, the underpass looked like an eye and the kayaker on the other side looked like a reflection.
I’m glad I was there early enough that I could park my trailer ready to go out. When I returned to the dock the remainder of the parking lot was full of fellow kayakers and water enthusiasts.
‘Groundhog Day’ was one of the greatest scripts ever written.

My life is full of drama,
~ Adele
and I don’t have time
to worry about something as petty
as what I look like.
English – Singer Born: May 5, 1988
Appearances may seem petty to worry about, but I’m certain Adele is lucky enough to have a team to worry about her appearances and brand.
Most of us can’t afford to have teams ensuring we look our best, but a good photographer can show you in your best light and help with professional appearances by providing excellent quality “head shots” and portfolio’s of pictures for your website.

I figure if a girl wants to be a legend,
