I had plans today to go out on a wee walk about, leaving the house by 9:30 am.
I first stopped in to give my Mom a picture of my dad, Fritz, with his 3 brothers, as she hadn't had one there with her. Of course Mom was happy for the photo and to see me. Then I headed outside of Oxeden back towards Colpoy's Bay. I love Fall.
Once I had picked up my Walk About partner, we took in some amazing sights just up the road.
It really was amazing watching the Coho Salmon heading up the stream to spawn. Really a beautiful sight to behold it is.
Next stop was over at Denny's Damn in my Hometown of Southampton where Fishermen were out in their hip waders trying their luck at Trout Fishing in the Saugeen River.
Then our final destination happened to be one of the best stops ....
.... at my Auntie Gladys & Uncle Basil's for lunch with my young friend, Nathan Furry, who is visiting this week in Wiarton all the way from Australia again.
Rob showed up in time for some of Aunties Egg Salad Sandwiches and dessert (egg salad are his absolute favourite kind and he insists Auntie's are the very best; nothing like getting himself more Brownie Points with Auntie, is there?).
It most certainly was another enjoyable visit with Nathan, as what we had ourselves at the first of the Year, HERE & HERE.
Before we left town, Nathan had the opportunity to say "good-bye", once again, to my "Crabby Cabbie" Rob.
Back over Oxeden way Nathan and I stopped one more time to take photos of the beautiful escarpment across Colpoy's Bay. Yes indeed Fall is beautiful.
I thoroughly enjoyed my day spent with Nathan, and most certainly welcome any return visit he might make in the future to the Bruce Peninsula.
I had some pretty happy Aussies, as in our Australian Shepherds, when I returned home. I was even happier that the rain had held off today until after 5 pm, as it made for a much more enjoyable day for Nathan and I on our wee walk about, then for me to spend time with the Aussies back home, "Just North of Wiarton & South of the Checkerboard".
