Around and About

The count down has begun, only 3 more days and I am back to work. I have been fortunate lately to have time to spend hiking, riding and biking around and about home. It has made the last few days feel like I'm still on holiday and is there any better feeling? A couple of days ago I hiked at Charleston Lake then I had a couple hours to spare yesterday and managed to do a 200+ km ride on the VStar in perfect weather along a favorite local road to Perth Ontario. The traffic was heavy (last minute holiday sight see-ers) and I've photographed the ride so many times, I didn't stop except for gas and lunch. Today a friend convinced me to dust off the bicycle and I rode the two-wheeler (and survived) 17km along a stretch of newly opened trail between Orser Road and Harrowsmith Ontario. Around and about the home town - the new 200k holiday!

A Tourist In My Own Town

I live in a beautiful town and sometimes a picture says much more than words could ever. Sunday I had the chance to be a tourist in my own town. From Brits in the Park to an art festival, a flea market on market square, City Hall across the basin and kite boarders racing in the Canadian Olympic Regatta Kingston (CORK), it was a spectacular, sunny, summer Sunday - in Kingston, Ontario.
