Develop or Preserve?
Spending time in a quiet forest will likely convince you why the environment has to be preserved.

Sandpiper Like No Other
In Canada, the Upland Sandpiper inhabits grasslands in the prairie provinces, southern Ontario and Quebec, the Maritimes and Yukon Territory.
The Upland Sandpiper is the "shorebird of the prairie". While most of its relatives are never found far from water, this species has made itself at home on the grasslands.Older names are the Upland Plover and Bartram's Sandpiper. The genus name and the old common name Bartram's Sandpiper commemorate the American naturalist William Bartram.Once abundant in the Great Plains and Prairies, it has undergone steady population declines since the mid-19th century, because of hunting and loss of habitat.
Have a wonder filled day!

Lennox and Addington County
I've been eyeing new spots to explore and found myself driving in Lennox and Addington County recently. I stayed mostly on the back roads and turned here and there with reckless abandon (not really, but it sounds exciting).
Thank a farmer if you ate today.

This is a repost for those who haven't seen it and for those who enjoy seeing life beneath the surface. As some of you may already know, I use to scuba dive and take my camera underwater in a housing with strobes to capture some of the magic.

Make an effort to smile today. I guarantee it won't hurt... much. ;-)
In Memory of Frank - Part II
The generosity of many allowed for the purchase and installation of memorial bench and plaque dedicated to Big Frank. Linda and I were in Toronto recently and made a stop at Rosetta's to see his bench for the first time. It was a heart warming experience to be there. I felt his spirit and it was pure joy.
