I Wanna Be A Cowgirl
Bev Breen is the country/western lover in the play Let's Play Bridge, coming in October to the Grand Cove in Grand Bend. Tickets sell fast...
BTW, remember to visit my exhibit at the Grand Bend Art Centre until Labour Day. It's on River Road beside Purdy's Fish 'n' Chips.

Poor Charlie
I don't know if this bird had a name, but I'll give it a name anyway. I think this bird was hit by one of the annoying dirt bike riders that fly past our apartment all the time. They really don't care about anything but themselves, and I suspect this is the result of their carelessness.

She's Down
Christine got a cleat to the shin, and it went behind her shinpad, so she was in quite a bit of pain. But she wasn't down for long, as per coach's instructions.

Moonlight
This was barely touched in Photoshop because it actually looked this way overnight. The clouds are lit by post-midnight full moon light. Long exposure helps, but to the eye, this is pretty close to how it looked. Seriously incredible!

Muscles
This chipmunk likes to stuff his face, but does so because he doesn't want Speedy to get his peanuts. I'm sure Muscles will have more than enough to get him through the winter with the stash he built this weekend.

Stick Your Neck Out
This little turtle was taking his chances during our visit to the Gamble-Hess camp in Pike Bay. If he were around when Tye was riding his tricycle, he would have been in trouble for sure.

Hosed Down
Five Fun Days is a great event where local kids are invited to come and share company for a week. It's made even more interesting by the fact that the activities are punctuated by the presence of North Middlesex firefighters who hose down the kids with fire hoses. Sometimes they get each other instead.
