So just east of Kenora, the traffic was light and I was zipping along until I spotted this shy & unfriendly creature...
He promptly & rudely turned his back and flashed me his prickly, white backside!
And after much tormenting & weird animal noises from me, it made a terrified run for the bush to escape me & my vehicle!
in a vehicle game of follow the leader...in this long & winding line of city folk heading to the lake country...
...it's a slow paced game at times...yes, I'm going under 80kms/hr, but it was 9pm, the sun was shining and the temp was 24oC, so all is good...
...that's right, only 1 car coming in the other direction and still a whole line of us headed east...
...you start feeling yourself unwind as you spot happy camps like this one...
...and winding, solitary stretches like this one...
Looking towards the crowd - an interesting crowd to say the least...
If you need to know exactly what kind of plane this was besides the fact that is it silver and could open the bottom hatch & drop bombs...you'll have to research it...cuz I wasn't paying attention...
Safely back on the ground... 
This familiar looking couple I saw there...
An old war plane...detailed, I know!
Ontario MNR Waterbomber...

Possibly called a Warthog? Loved the teeth on the front...and the explosives demo that went with it...

Well these just show you how far behind I am with updating my blog, but since the lifespan of these blossoms are so short, its nice to relive their revitalizing colours...
One of my favourite colour combos...
Couldn't resist te colour of the sky behind these blossoms either...
And pink!
This is a favourite of mine...
And Elizabeth's wedding shower cake was awesome, was it not?! It was from High Tea Bakery on Portage Avenue - loved it! The green colour was awesome!
And here's another stunning sign of life...Mr Dandilion!
