WITHOUT AN RV AND COLDER WEATHER APPROACHING WE ARE RUNNING OUT OF TIME

Sure have had us a number of gorgeous Autumn days going on here in southwestern Ontario Canada and it looks like we have more ahead of us before a few forecasted days of rain.  
THIS IS OUR PARK'S RECYCLE AREA
QUIET RELAXING COUNTRY ROADS
SUMAC TREES
A very routine Jeep ride for Pheebs and I southeast of Bayfield.  Nothing special going on or seen.  Just more of the same and at this time of year more of the same is Okay for now.
BAYFIELD'S HARBOR AND BEACH AREA

NOTICED ALL THESE FISHERMEN WERE DRESSED WARM ON THE PIER THIS MORNING
A FINE EARLY OCTOBER MORNING IN THE COUNTRYSIDE
Home again I took the wheelbarrow around collecting up more summer lawn ornaments for storage in our wooden shed for winter.  Won't be long and I will have to turn off our outside water.
Nice afternoon walk with Pheebs as we followed a warm breeze around the pine tree trail.   Pheebs chased a couple rascally Squirrels while I tried to take a few photos of an elusive little bee.  Winds later picked up and we have more golden pine needles lazily making their way to the ground.  Our seasonal change is in full swing.  Update:: At the time of posting this tonight it's raining:((((
We had been hoping to find a suitable Class B+ RV by now and do some short three or four day trips up around the Bruce Peninsula and Beaver Valley area but we're quickly running out of time.  Cold weather will soon be upon us and the colorful Autumn leaves season north of us will be over for another year. There was a time not long ago when we could have said 'oh well we'll do it next year'.  For obvious reasons we don't exactly have the luxury of thinking that way anymore.  Things have changed, are changing, and we have to make a few adjustments to our usual thought patterns as we go along.  Reality sometimes has a habit of getting in the way of things.
A FEW PICS FOR C&G WAY OUT THERE IN THAT NEW MEXICO PLACE

Been tossing around some ideas for a few minor house renovations.  Our unit still has it's original early eighties windows and some of those windows have lost their seal and especially the two living room windows right beside Kelly's chair.  With colder weather beginning to make itself felt those windows have condensation problems.  New steps for our front porch is another consideration along with some partial board and batten siding.  No hard and fast plans yet, just mulling things over.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( It was four in the morning when Mr. Dartle's phone rang. The voice at the other end was pleasant and sweet. "I'm Mrs. Weber, and I would like to tell you that the refrigerator I bought in your store works like a charm."Mr. Dartle said, "Thank you. But why call me about it at four in the morning?"Mrs. Weber said, "Because they just delivered it!"
---------------------
Overheard at the race track...
Bettor: “I’m betting on a horse that is 20 to 1 and I can’t lose.  
Friend: “What do you mean 'you can’t lose’?”
Bettor: “I can’t lose, the horse is starting at 20 to 1 and the race doesn’t start till 1.”
---------------------
A strained voice called out through the darkened theater, "Please, is there a doctor in the house?!" Several men stood up as the lights came on. An older lady pulled her daughter to stand next to her, "Good, are any of you doctors single and interested in a date with a nice Jewish girl?"

  2. Those close-ups are amazing. From your travel thoughts, I guess you three aren't heading south this winter. Bummer.

  3. I think you put a spell on that bee to get him/her to pose for you!! Amazing that you got such clear pictures while on a walk. I would have thought a tripod would have been necessary. It seems you were feeling better. A good thing!

  4. Lighting is the number one thing for pics and you got it right with the bee. Just wondering...have you ever considered a jeep trip into the USA? La Quienta is happy to have dogs stay and do not cost a lot. We have done many road trips in our convertible with a cat by staying there. Just an Idea. We do have over two years of Class A RV travel under our belts and this now works for us.

  5. The photos of the flowers and bee are just amazing. The clarity of your photos is just amazing - especially on the close ups.

  7. Your photos of the bee which I assume you are zooming in using your 300mm lens ... makes it very tempting to buy one for myself. I'd love to zoom in on a lizard(s) on the side of my fence or my first snake that has not arrived yet .. great photos. Drive the Jeep to SV, the hounds would love some company and another dog to share food with. :)

  8. If you can triple pain windows would be ideal. We are planning to change all of our windows to triples pain from double pain once we can no longer retire. Thos photos of the bees are outstanding.

  9. Your bee photos are amazing! Yep, we are on Winter lock down, unable to get away this year. Between our ailing aunt, Den's eyes and a few issues of my own, we will be stuck again this year. Two years in a row puts Dennis at age 78 next April...and driving an RV has it's limits. We just ordered 13 new windows for our downstairs. Ours were put in about 1978 and it's time...Yep, things change and we have to roll with it or we will just talk ourselves into a big depression..Hang in there!!
