The One That Sara Already Did

So. It appears that my lovely wife has stolen my fire and posted photos from our trip to the conservation area before I did. As such, I hope you all really, really love seeing photos of nature, because that’s all I have to share with you today. Hopefully you’ll forgive me.

In actuality, these photos are not from the same trip. I had gone to the same conservation area with my father a few days earlier in the week and taken all of these photos specifically for this post, only to foolishly go there with Sara a few days later, whereupon she took all sorts of amazing photos and posted them before I did.

I didn’t manage to get a picture of me shaking my fist like an angry grandpa when I realized this, but I’m sure you can imagine what that would look like yourself.

It’s funny… as a kid I used to ride my bike all the time and I loved it. But until this trip I hadn’t ridden my bike in years and years (To give you an idea of how long it’s been, the last time I remember riding my bike (It’s the blue one, in case you were wondering.) I had to stand on my tip toes when my butt was on the seat.) I imagine that getting my own car stole the love I had for my bike, but the truth is that there is no replacement. It’s a great way to exercise and get outdoors and a lot of fun.





I’d like to tell you that this next photo is a picture of my great, great uncle’s sandal –taken in 1902– who was lost in the deep forest while hunting for bear and now every time I see his sandal I think of him alone and scared in the forest.

I’d like to tell you that, but in reality this is just someone’s discarded, beaten up old sandal I found on the side of the dirt path, but I thought that this colouring was so ridiculously over the top that I had to share it anyway. Sorry to destroy the illusion.

Unfortunately our trusty 7D was determined to focus on this little guy’s antennae instead of his body, but I think the photos turned out pretty well despite that.


That’s all!

For any Americans out there reading, I hope you had a great 4th of July! And for any Canadians, I hope you had a good Canada Day! (It’s on the 1st, not the 4th, in case any of you non-Canadians were wondering.) I’ll see you next week!
