  17. Hey-a twofer! Great to get two for one as a weekend special. Our local band of Canada Geese have recently set up housekeeping and can be seen floating about with their broods on any local ponds.

    That beach in the first photo looks like a great place to go for long walks. Great action in the sky and the waves.

    Reader Wil, it is definitely one of my favorites but believe it or not, it is a lake. Sure looks like the sea!

    fredamans, thank you!

    louciao, that i s a beach on the infamous lake Superior, know for it's many shipwrecks one of which is the SS Edmund Fitzgerald. On November 10, 1975, in one of Lake Superiors well known horrendous gales, she split in two and sank!

    cat, thanks, it is a cool sky!

     
  22. Thanks for the visit, there are several of my blogs to visit one being http://skywatchegypt.blogspot.com/

    one on the geese looks similar to my old farmhouse back in Wales,

  24. Greetings Lorac,
    That photograph of Lake Superior brings back memories of my drive across Canada in 1980. I remember standing on a beach at Lake Superior and suddenly realising that I had stood on an ant hill. Not pleasant what happened next...ants in pants..I'll leave it at that:-)
    Lovely photographs. Thanks for posting them.
    With respect, Gary

     
  25. Tania Says:

  28. Love your header!!!!! You are so right about the contrasting colors in picture #1, wow! I have some fabric that looks just like that! ~karen

     
  29. Lovely geese and reflection in the second photo. Are you anywhere near Windsor? I was a student in 1975-77. It was really an eye opener for someone from tropical Borneo. My room mate's dad took me to see the geese at Kingsville one Christmas.

     
  30. Lorac Says:
  31. Tony I did enjoy your blog and will be back and will also go see your others too!

    klahanie, that must have been extraordinarily unpleasant!

    Spiderdama thank you so much! It was indeed a gorgeous beach.

    KAHolly That must be cool fabric!

    Ann I am about 4 1/2 hours away from Windsor. Not very far by Canadian standards!
