| perfect weather |
A tasty lunch and they just hung out and we talked up a storm, so nice to actually spend some time with them, just the 4 of us. But the weekend went so fast. So they headed out shortly after 3 pm back to the Big City of Toronto, 2 hours or more depending on the traffic, and probably very heavy traffic. Safe travels guys.
No not time to relax yet, we had been invited to John and Barb's in Buckhorn along with Emile, Monique, George and Rose for dinner. So headed up there about 4 o'clock, enjoyed some great social time on their new deck beside the river. Emile and George did some fishing off the new dock and did catch a few small ones.

Now as we sitting and chatting John yells at us "Look their". Across the narrow river a small black bear. So we gotta try get some pics. He wandered around by the water and by the 2 cottages there, nobody home. Now I just have my point and shoot pocket camera not great for these shots but you get the idea. If someboady sends a better pic I will add that to tomorrows posting.
 |
| can you spot the bear? |
John sent me a couple bear pics will add then right now. Thanks John!
 |
| he is looking right at us |
About 8:30 we head home and a fun day, getting cooler and soon the skeeters be coming out. So we all shared our hugs and see ya laters some day some time somewhere on down the road, Thanks for the fun time guys and awesome meal.

| Caught the wonder sunset heading back home |
Thanks for taking a peak and hope your weather was a great as ours.
Leaving here in the mornings move down the road a couple hours.
Check out the interactive map below to see where we have been this Spring and Summer.
We love anything chicken too.
ReplyDeleteJohn and Barb's setting for their house is beautiful. The bear looks like a friendly one...is that possible?
It is a very nice place, they have been fixing up for a few years.
DeleteThe bear may look friendly but is a wild animal, at least is on the other side of the river.
That's a great shot of the bear! It's also a great shot of you and your son together. He certainly takes after his father.
ReplyDeleteThanks it was a wonderful day again !
DeleteThat is quite the hat you have, looks like in a strong wind, you could take off. Might come in handy if bears get too close... :cD
ReplyDeleteHaha, bought that in Quartzsite a few years ago,, I have many hats....
DeleteLooks like you had wonderful day not only with family but friends as well.
ReplyDeleteLike you said the bear may look gentle but is wild and you don't want to feed it because then it will associate humans to food and eventually it will have to be put down.
Be Safe and Enjoy!
It's about time.
That is so true.
DeleteFamily time... I always love it... even if it's not my own family ;-) That bear looks pretty big to me... but it doesn't look like he got into too much trouble. We have to take bird feeders down at night and of course never leave out anything that could be food for them.
ReplyDeleteYou got that right, they will invade your space and take over if you not careful.
DeleteSo nice you got to spend the weekend with your son and Jane, and then dinner with friends to cap off the weekend.
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome!
DeleteI think it's good you used someone else's photo for the bear. I couldn't find it in your photo.
ReplyDeleteJust the last 2 were John's better quality.
DeleteSounds like you had another fine day and always great to see wildlife, especially a bear.
ReplyDeleteWas awesome and a bear bonus too.
