Black Bear


I went up north for the weekend and helped install a new floor in a friend's cabin. It was definitely a work weekend, but was very satisfying. The float in the lake and blue sky was well worth the effort. Coming home, we happened upon a black bear that had apparently just been hit by a car. We stopped to take a closer look. I am creeped out by anything dead, particulary the things that my cat likes to drag to my back door. It was sad to see the poor guy in this state. I can only hope he doesn't end up in somebody's burger.

Finally Friday.....

I did not anticipate just how busy I would be this summer, despite having any real work to do. Although I must say, it is nice to finally have the time to help out a few friends in the 'hood. It is much cooler today, so I'm glad I postponed my run till this morning. Not happy about the distance, but I'll just get it done and get myself ready for the weekend. I'm looking forward to going up to a friend's cabin tomorrow morning. I love waking up at a lake.

One of my neighbours took this shot of Bobo. When he was little, he was obsessed with anything on wheels. Doug used to spend hours in my van catching up on work, while the little guy would pretend to drive. I'm pretty sure he is going to want a motorcycle one day.

fotopages was good to me


I made a decision today to switch my blog over to blogger. Fotopages was good to me, but I am hoping that this one will be a little easier to use. My old blog was http://murphy.fotopages.com.

Perhaps I will be inspired to write more.......
