I found there were a few photos, from Edmonton, that I had not yet put up on the blog, so lets get them out of the way first.
 |
Michael massacring the turkey in an awful Christmas sweater.
|
 |
The tree in their backyard. Luckily we hung the lights on it before it snowed.
|
 |
Michael volunteered at a Jujitsu tournament, run by his gym, so I did too. 4 mats in use all day.
|
 |
Numerous TVs with the bouts and scores.
|
 |
250 participants.
|
 |
Mike worked in the podium/medal area and I ensured all the participants had their T-shirts and sold them too. We each came home with a shirt.
|
 |
The night before I left, a beautiful sunset, taken from their front door.
|
 |
I returned with plenty of frig decor.
|
 |
Its that time of year again, the thousands of Sandhill Cranes are back in the fields near Port Rowan.
|
 |
And a few Swans.
|
 |
Still more in the air
|
 |
and, as they drop their landing gear early, they look very funny coming in to land.
|
From there we drove to my old place at Long Point and walked on to the beach.
 |
It had been quite windy and cold in Port Dover but here it was calm and therefor warmer.
|
 |
Nobody on the beach though.
|
 |
We watched flock after flock of tiny ducks head out to a "raft" on the lake before heading south.
|
 |
| Then |
 |
over the
|
 |
| dune |
 |
to where the duck hunters camp during the season.
|
 |
I really DONT
|
 |
UNDERSTAND IT!
|
 |
This is my kind of duck hunting
|
 |
I can't find my bird book, so unable to identify them. (Maybe Canvasback?)
|
 |
Bufflehead ?
|
 |
And a flock of these sweet little things in the Cedar tree
|
 |
No idea, I need to find that book.
|
 |
Misty morning on the lake.
