Beauty of Nature

The intricacy and beauty of nature continually refreshes my soul.

A crisp fall morning with the sun rising...its rays catching the dew on a large intricate spider web...glistening like jews in the morning light.

Beautiful.

TURNBULL - My Maiden Name

For those of you who read my blog and think I was insenstive regarding "Suzanne Turnbull"...my maiden name is Turnbull.

Thus my remark about a 'distant relative'....not that she looks like the bull sculpture!

Now stop the emails!

:-P

Friday In Stratford

Every year, Bob and a fellow teacher take 50+ high school student to see a Shakespeare play at Stratford. Every year, I am invited along to be a chaperone.. humorous because Bob knows my low tolerance for hormonal, egotistical 14 - 18 year olds! Below are a few pictures of our day.

"Iron Will"

Sorel Etrog

Large Bull, 1969

Speaking of bulls..... a distant relative perhaps?

I decided to walk back into town along the river and came across this swan. As I walked toward it, it angled itself across the pathway and hissed at me. At first, I tried walking onto the grass to bypass it. But evidently, it considers all of Stratford it's own personal kingdom.

To make a long story short....

51 year old woman runs down the brick path with honking, hissing swan in hot pursuit!
