The weather looked dull, but in the end turned out just right for a ride down to the Needles Battery and back on the top deck!
I'd very optimistically set my alarm for 3:00 AM so I could get to Algonquin and walk in to Wolf Howl pond for sunrise. When I awoke at 3 I checked the weather forecast online and could still hear rain falling so decided to sleep in a bit. 5:00 AM saw me up and out and on my way to the park. God bless the Tim Horton's in Bancroft, Ontario.
I came upon this handsome Bull already being photographed in this patch of wildflowers. I joined in and he seemed quite content to pose for us as he grazed. Another car appeared on the scene but failed to move to the shoulder while watching the Moose. The sound of squealing tires as the next car on the scene narrowly missed colliding with previous arrival was enough to send this bull dashing into the forest.
Please. Please. Please. If you are going to stop to look at wildlife in Algonquin Park get safely off the road before stopping. The road is also used by drivers who are not visiting the park but simply passing through. This includes large transport trucks and large military vehicles. Also, a driver may be too distracted by the moose he/she's just spotted to notice you in the way.

... 15 minutes from the first whistle to the EM final against Spain. After the crap performance of our guys their mood wasn't quite as happy 15 minutes from the last.
Even in sickness she's looking at the world as a new and exciting thing. Watching her learn and experience is exciting. It's captivating to see what life holds for her. She's the very definition of optimistic for me.

St Mary, Warmington, Northamptonshire
From Fotheringhay the road was a lonely one, three miles or so to my next port of call, which when I got there turned out to be a rather suburban village but with a solid little entirely Early English church at its heart. Entirely a Huntingdonshire church in style, with a stubby spire and big dormer-style lucarnes.
I left my bike in the Early English porch, which is vaulted in blocks of stone, handsome yet familiar. But then I stepped into what turned out to be the most interesting interior of the day. The most striking feature, and rather a surprising one, is that the roof of the nave is vaulted in wood. This was done in the 13th Century, and the bosses survive from that time - even more surprising, they all depict green men, nine of them. Why was this not done elsewhere?
The rood screen is one of the best in the area, and the medieval pulpit appears to be constructed of rood screen panels (can that be right? Did they come from the rood loft? Surely it is pre-Reformation, in which case perhaps they came from somewhere else). Lots to think about. A good church, it would be considered so in any county.
As I was about to leave the church three young women came in. They were walking the Nene Way, and were attired as you might expect attractive young women to be on such a sunny day. I didn't want them to be made nervous by the presence of a middle-aged man with a camera, so I nodded a greeting as I left, but in the event they engaged me in conversation, asking me where I'd come from, telling me what they were doing, where they were going, and so on.
In the end I had to make my apologies and leave as they didn't seem to want to let me go, not an experience I have very often these days, I can tell you. It rather put me in mind of the Sirens episode in the Odyssey.
And so I headed on, wary now of any wandering rocks and one-eyed giants.
