Recently, Barbara and I traveled north of the border, to Toronto, to visit the Hockey Hall of Fame. Both Barbara and I are “BIG” hockey fans so this was a must see for us. At the Hall of Fame they display all of the NHL teams as well as their farm teams, including the nowContinue reading “The Hockey Hall of Fame”

The Natural World
As most of you know, most of the photos I take, are of places that we visit, waterfalls, sunsets, landscapes. Recently, I purchased a 100mm macro lens so that I can take close ups of the natural world around us. This morning, I took a walk around the RV park, to try out my skillContinue reading “The Natural World”
Salmon River Falls
This morning, Barbara, Ellie and I headed north, 16 miles from the Bass Lake Resort in Parish, New York, to the Salmon River Falls. This area of New York is beautiful this time of year as you’ll see in the photos below.
Niagara Falls
This morning, Barbara, Ellie, and I traveled back into Canada to get, likely our last look, of Niagara Falls. This time we wanted to see it from the Canadian side, because in my opinion, this is the best vantage point of both the American and the Canadian Falls. This time there was no Covid-19 restrictions,Continue reading “Niagara Falls”
Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory
Recently, Barbara and I visited the Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory in Louisville, Kentucky. John A. “Bud” Hillerich was just 17 years old when he made the very first, what would be later be known as the Louisville Slugger Baseball Bat, in his father’s workshop, for Pete Browning in 1884. Mr. Browning, at that time,Continue reading “Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory”

Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse
We stayed at this RV Park, on the shores of Lake Huron, six years ago, just a couple of months after we hit the road. This is such a nice place. It’s quiet, there are a lot of hiking trails for Ellie and me to explore, but best of all the view is amazing. WhenContinue reading “Pointe Aux Barques Lighthouse”
Mackinac Island
On June 27th, Barbara, Ellie and I along with our friends Glen and Kathy took a ferry from Mackinac City to Mackinac Island. I don’t believe Ellie liked the ferry ride over to the island, but seemed to enjoy the rest of our adventure that day. She spent most of the day looking out ofContinue reading “Mackinac Island”
