Our First Frog in the Pond

Here he is. His name is Mr. Klein, after the science teacher who adopted him for the winter in his classroom aquarium.

We believe he is a bullfrog.

Six Easy Pieces

This is an intriguing book that contains the content of a series of introductory physics lectures that were given by one of the "best" teachers of post WWII physics, Richard Feynman. His knack was that he could demystify physics and put it into language that the average, non-mathematician can understand. I'll keep this book around to loan to someone who needs to get up to speed on their science basics!

The Canadians: Blood Brothers

I've been chomping through this old novel, which I found in a book store in Wiarton. It's one of a series of seven volumes that takes place in the days when the Europeans were fighting for control of the continent, and the fate of the aborginals became helplessly entwined in it all. I prefer to review my history by reading moderately interesting fiction such as this!

Reading an old book called the New New Thing: A Silicon Valley Story

It's by Michael Lewis, and tells the story of Jim Clark, inventor of Netscape back in 1995. Basically Clark became a billionaire in a matter of months.

Inglis Falls

Another amazing sunset from our balconey!

Keppel Croft Gardens

Concrete scupture is a feature of the Keppel Croft gardens.


There are many excellent ponds on site.

Smile for the camera and say "ribbit!"

Cabot Head Lighthouse

The lighthouse at Cabot Head, restored and maintained by the Friends of Cabot Head volunteer organization. This image from a gallery by Matt Myles.

The road to the Cabot Head lighthouse. It's about a 20 minute drive along the shore.
The original light from years past is on display.
View from atop the light tower, looking toward Tobermory.

Wind generation at Ferndale.

Reports of rattlesnakes on the path. We decided NOT to hike because of this (and because our time was getting tight).
About fifty ships are wrecked in the waters around the Bruce Peninsula.
View out the lighthouse tower window, looking east across Georgian Bay.
