Hike and History
Plant and Provenance
July 25th, 2014 Kettle Lakes Provincial Park
Hike at 10:30 had a great turn out.
Talk at 8:00 was a good turn out, the drizzle stopped long enough for us to get our tree planting done.

Arbour Day 2014
The best time to plant a tree,
was 100 years ago
The second best time to plant a tree
is today!!
oh so true
Everyone should plant one tree, once a year.
That is one small thing the will make a big difference!
I love Arbour Day.
That is the day I get to talk to the public, the interested in planting a tree, public.
We had white spruce available at 2 locations in the city. All the green people came out for this fund raiser.
Thank you all!

Aboriginal Day Timmins
Hollinger Park

A wonderful wonder in the park.
I know what you are saying "where are all the pictures of the drummers and geese being cooked"? Well I am working up to that. The image just never seems to capture the moment.
I seem to be better at capturing the trees and birds and the bugs. I am working on people, respectful people pictures. It is easy to take pictures with people in them, but not so easy to capture the person, respecting their cultural diversity.
I will take any hints you may have for me. What should I aim at, where do I point the camera?

Great Job Kees!!
(To all my friends - been a busy early summer, I will work my way backwards for a little bit while I catch up on a month or two)
I look forward to Kees organizing and guiding more hikes - now that he will have a little more time.
