My New Boat!!!!!!! Ya i’m so excited! just got me an awesome touring kayak.
Its a Clear Water Design – Gaspe. 16 feet, with rudder, ergonomic seat w/ pump up lumbar support, and a great paddle.
Got it used (but not abused). This will b perfect for our annual wilderness camping trips. And now that i own my own boat i can go for short paddles around here just to enjoy the water.
I would just like to thank the Lord, and also Bob who sold me this fine craft.
PSYCHED!!
Sorry i didn’t give u anything yesterday. Was outdoors enjoying spring.
Speaking of that, there’s this:
There really is nothing else like flowers. Enjoy!
HEY – I know that the official date of spring is not April Fools Day, BUT
check this shot of my cars OAT reading:
It hasn’t been this nice since, since, since – well a really long time.
Out for a drive today i saw a large raptor (hawk not dinosaur) floating a thermal. SWEET! thats hot air rising baby!!
Finally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Amazing variety huh? Too bad the toolips don’t last too long. Yuk yuk.
Ya i know these last ones aren’t tulips.
Still awesome.
I remember going there as a kid. So hot it was that day, and i felt like i was in the desert i was so thirsty. I don’t think they had any drinking fountains anywhere. But the animals were so awesome!
Not native to my continent!
can a camel b cute?
The scratching post.
Hey just about everybody i know is longing for the end of winter and the start of spring. Ok not just about, EVERYBODY.
but look at what we all want. The end of winter and start of spring. Kind of like if a tree falls in the forest and no ones there does it make any noise?
If we weren’t sick of winter would we really welcome spring so heartily? Would we notice? Would it actually be spring without winter to contrast it to? Would u b thinking about all this if i were not asking u? I’m not sure what u would b thinking, but THERE CAN B NO SPRING WITHOUT WINTER.
The location is a park in the city.
This really makes me long for May.
In our region there is (was) a game farm. It was open for years and years but has now closed. Here are a few shots of some animals.
More to come.
So i spoke with the roving correspondent and he came through with the pictures of the location in New Zealand where some of Lord of the Rings was filmed.
This rocky dome is where Edoras was built. The realm of King Theoden, Rohan was the country, Edoras was its city.
This shows a pic of Eowin on the platform outside the Kings dwelling.
and the same view without the LOTR additions, the Southern Alps of New Zealand.
While we stayed at the mansion, we did have to share the place with the occupants. They were very low key however, and pretty much kept to themselves. It was like our family were the only people there.
Again I did so much appreciate our stay at the place, it made that holiday very special for all of us.
