Artisan Walk today at Kivi Park, Sudbury, Ontario. Northern Ontario/ Greater Sudbury. It was a beautiful Autumn walk to visit all the artisans, crafters, pottery makers, bakers, knitters, purse & millners, artists/all the talented creative vendors among the tall trees on such a warm 23 degrees day.

My ancestors immigrated from France in 1666 to Montreal, Quebec. Eventually, mid 1800’s, my direct relatives took a train (1st time they ever saw a banana) to North Bay & settled in the farming community of Verner because the Ontario government gave away free land so as to cultivate the area. 🌺🌻🌸

When I resided with my grandparents for a year near Temagami, Ontario, I loved seeing the beautiful lakes. From Lake Temagami, Blueberry Lake, Wolf Lake, Diamond Lake, Kokoko Lake, Obabika Lake, Rabbit Lake, etc. My grandfather obtained our drinking water from Net Lake. Canoeing 🛶 is prevalent.

Remember when taking pictures of your kids or of others - turn the camera around and include yourself. Too often, as parents we’re not in the photos or videos during those special moments. Hand the camera:cellphone to someone else and include yourself with your family or with loved ones. No excuses.

Photo of our Nation’s Capital city, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada 🇨🇦 I’ve resided in this city twice. So many sights to see with the historic buildings, the Ottawa River, the Rideau Canal & Parliament Hill. When I worked for Revenue Canada, the location was at the Connaught Building, also downtown. 🇨🇦

Spent the afternoon at the beach, chatting with my daughter. The lifeguards and kids are back in school & so we had a quiet time of reflection other than the noisy curious seagulls who would drop by. Ramsey Lake, Northern Ontario.

Quick captures of some birds on our back deck. We sit like “old folks” on our swing after dinner to watch the acrobatic “cirque de Soleil” antics by our feathery friends who swoop down to enjoy seeds or peanuts. Yes, there is drama … even amongst the birds. Lol! 🐥

History buffs. On my Grade 8 Graduation Trip, our class took the Polar Bear Express Passenger Train trip to Moosonee. Upon arrival, we embarked on a short boat ride over to Moose Factory Island. At many of the Cree First Nations residences, what struck me was the amount of friendly husky dogs. Signs
