Do gulls cavort? Do winds buffet? Does Lake Huron provide photo opps? All rhetorical questions aside, I bid you a fine weekend wherever you are. #photography #greatlakes #lakehuron #sunsets #seagulls #canada

Thank you, Wendy, It was gigantic and alluring.

Sometimes being made to feel small is a good thing. (Tamara in the bigness of Lake Huron sundown.) #sunsets #greatlakes #lakehuron #canada

A mere two and a half block walk from where I live, I partake of these Lake Huron artworks and ... pinch me. #lakehuron #greatlakes #sunsets #canada

Up and across the firmament, roiling unruly and free. It is our nature to try to control Nature. Pfffft, I say. #clouds #nature #sky

I stood in the front yard last night and watched this cloud behemoth rise in somewhat sinister silence, dwarfing everything below its sunset tinted majesty. #photography #clouds #sky #sunsets #scale #nature

Gently rolling farmland, ever cleansed by brisk Lake Huron Autumn winds. I'm happy to have returned to my old stomping grounds, far from the rat race. Have yourself the best possible day :-) #rural #roomtobreathe #ontario #canada

Right out of the Project 2025 playbook; cull the population and punish the states who didn't flush their votes down the Trump Golden Throne.

Just more of his "locker room talk"?

If they don't play supplicant to his monstrously sociopathic ego, they are expendable. The entire political structure in the USA needs a tear down and rebuild. (ditto for any ballroom, arch, or other self-trophy from this pedophile)

As a Canadian, I can't imagine our Prime Minister uttering such insanity and not paying an immediate price. The red line for removing this demon was crossed too long ago.

Cheers! I grew up in nearby Port Elgin but always loved Kincardine for its endless beaches and laid back pace. It's still cool, with the pipe band tradition, the great old architecture and lighthouse, with more amenities these days and no shortage of kickass winters. I love being here.

Out here in Bruce County, Ontario, Canada, they're getting into the spirit of October, farmland style. I dig it. #october #pumpkins #farmland #ontario #canada

Instalment #2 of the pumpkin plethora photo fit, from Kincardine, Ontario, Canada, where I now live and use commas freely, and where we see metamorphosis varieties of pumpkinization, such as the gremlin face, dill pickle fold, and flying saucer!! (needs special carving, that one) #pumpkins #october

It's me, Rick, reporting to you from Kincardine, Ontario, Canada, where I now live and use more commas than before, and where it's a pumpkin bonanza!! There are Presidential orange types, STD yellows, and so many others!! I will share more of the more!! #pumpkins #october #halloween #colorful

Charming youngsters at a wedding in Nova Scotia, with sunlight on the bay and a couple of trash cans to add that sense of reality-grit that happens when someone asks me to take informal candids of the proceedings ;-) #blackandwhite

It's more than the solar kiss of daylight's surrender, but also the peace of wide open landscapes. If I could bottle that and pour it into my camera, I'd likely need a new Nikon. #photography #peaceful #eveninglight #livestock #farmland
