A Sunday Mix If you will.

Well I had intended on heading out to what is called Cranberry flats and I finally found my way there. How the city has changed with the different roads now in comparison to the summers I did live here yet it was the same.

It's a very untouched place where you have to walk a good ways before you are there but it's well worth it's while. As within summer this is the only time in which it is open for the public.

I love this place and many people ironically don't even go here that much. It's sort of a place where some do and some don't. Maybe that is because it's nature and protected by what is called the Meewasin Authority.

While heading there after a swim at the gym, I ran into this person with a bike which I tho

ught was was a Harley Davidson, but it was built right from scratch. Now that is a craft indeed. Apparently after talking to the chap it cost him a total of $ 25,000.00 dollars to make all within six months. I have never drove one of these ever within my life except as a kid doing motor bikes.  But the city was alive, the gym was a just the beginning of and excusion on a Sunday that was well worth it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thereafter I headed when I came back into town there was this one house that has always caught my eye. Without a doubt I rang the bell and there came a lady whom was in the midst of a shower and she said that by all means I could take a some pictures not of her :), but of the house as to me it looked very latin american and then she did explain that many years ago the original owner did go back and forth to Mexico and obtained drafting plans and ideas in the 60's for creating a house as such. This did surprise me to sa

y the least. As if you were in my shoes and someone was in a towel and explaining all of this to you, you would kind of ...well you know what I mean.

Here is one of the pictures of this house. I have never been able to place many pictures within the same post and I hope this does work.

As today was one of those very nice Sundays to say the least.

 

 

And if I may add I love the hues of green that come into play at this time of year as the city is so lush.

 

I love this time of year and if there was only one thing I would love to change it would be to have winter take place for two months and it could be as cold as can be and the rest of the seasons would be what is seen here. As I literally love it.

  2. All in all yes. I will never take a picture without the allowance but I thought it looked spanish and ironically to my suprise it was. And this is the time in which we render the best of what is during this season of summer.
    The woman at the door was a surprise yet that all in all I most enjoyed this place called Cranberry Flats as well. As there are so many fond memories and as well it's untouched. What I mean Lydia is that it's protected from any commercialization.
