Our bus driver. I am sure he is Eric the Chef's twin!

Random canoe in Toronto

I did figure that these strange shapes were to make snow fall off easier.

Yellow bus

Such HUGE corn (maize?) crops - but what looked like a baby tonka toy to harvest!

Why did I expect bigger signs?

Back in the US (Michigan)

The driver of the most expensive taxi ride I ever took!

I have 'known' Brenda for 15 years and at last we got to meet! Brenda left. Me right.

The woods above the lake shore

We saw very little wildlife so were getting a bit desperate when we saw this ....

Cute!

WOW - names from folk lore and history!

We took the sunset cruise . If the sun had shone these colours would have been even MORE glorious!
