The Pine Ridge Hiking Club participated today in the United Way Dragon Boat Festival at Cobourg Harbour. These are the best photos of my day. Hope you like them.

Sailboats in Moonlight

Cobourg has a marina and beach that get rave reviews from boaters and sun seekers throughout the Great Lakes region. Our beach is reputed to be second only to that of Sandbanks Provincial Park. I like to walk here at all hours and all seasons, because each time it is different. This moonlit night is particularly peaceful.

Forest Paths

Here are two similar scenes. I am attracted by what might lie ahead on the path or behind the trees. The first one is in the James Cockburn Park in Cobourg, ON.; the second is at the Warsaw Caves Conservation Area in Warsaw, ON.

Frog Pond

My friend Helena has a lovely little pond in her garden with a few small golden koi and some lilies. Recently a couple of frogs moved in, and the pond is a peaceful haven. I remember the late-night singing of the frogs in the springtime when I was growing up - this brings it all back.

Beach Bonfire

It's summertime and there's nothing better than a bonfire on the beach, roasting marshmallows with friends. This is the same fire but it changes as the night grows old.

Summertime is Dandelion Time
