Walking on the beach at Port Glasgow. The driftwood pile ahead looks like a headless person rising up out of the edge of the water.

Celebrate World Environment Day by planting a tree, cleaning up some trash or just talking about the importance of our Environment.

I was lucky enough to attend my nephew’s wedding yesterday.

Just as I started to play flute, ambulances and firetrucks sped past the venue. I paused and continued once the sirens stopped. Unbeknown to me they were headed to the caterer’s facility. I started to play and had to go through the selections twice before the ceremony started. Luckily the caterer was still able to provide service for the wedding (although a little bit later).

I’ve also found my new favorite editing distortion “spikey halo”.

Welcome to the first day of Fall.

Turkey vultures have been gathering on the beach getting ready to head south.

Today will be a high 27C feeling like 32C. Sunshine. A perfect day for a backyard wedding. Congratulations to Dustin and Ashley.
