Old Order Mennonites are followers of Menno Simmonds, who started a protestant denomination originating in 16th century Friesland in the village of Witmarsum. Persecuted and hounded out of the village by burning his chapel, he fled to Switzerland and spread his faith to Eastern Europe and beyond. A small community persists in York Region, and is present in farming communities near St Jacob and elsewhere. Western Canada also hosts a large presence.

A bronze statue of Dr. Norman Bethune: Born in Gravenhurst in 1890, he was a thoracic surgeon and an early advocate of socialized medicine as a member of the Communist Party of Canada. He innovated medicine with his use of a mobile blood transfusion unit during the Spanish Cicil War. He also created travelling blood banks and created a mobile surgical unit while working during the Second Sino-Japanese War in support of the Chinese Communist Party. He died in November of 1939 in Baoding, China.
The statue is in front of the Terence Haight Carnegie Centre in Gravenhurst's Heritage Square on Muskoka Road South

Reddish brown sandy and clay soils are predominant in the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island and also in parts of Nova Scotia. Outcroppings of sedimentary rock are usually red-coloured sandstone or mudstone. We often see gravel roads in these parts coloured a pleasing red and also sections of the Trans Canada Highway, as here, are this colour.

Birds can be so sensitive to my presence so often and fly aware before I have noticed them. On the other hand, birds focused on their food will let me hang out with them.
converted to b/w and cropped. This
version looks a little better than the blue hour version and has some more details.
Today we have low temperatures and a clear atmosphere with none movements of the layers. Normally taking such pictures is nearly impossible, especially in summer.
Also free hand shot and converter was used.
Next time i will leave this 1,4 Sigma converter at home ..... mor lens, more pain.
Optimized with Nikon NX-Studio.

The kite boarder was kiting on the choppy waters of the East Bay arm of Bras D'Or Lake. I spotted the boarder from Route 4 near East Bay and quickly took some shots in very windy conditions.

I may have mis-identified this bird, but the slashes on the wing and a slight touch of ruby on its crown point to the Kinglet. It should be more olivey-coloured in the body, but that could be the deep shade in which I took the photo.
