Trillium’s are out in fill bloom all over the forest. We always had seen them towards the end of the season. A drive up to Awenda Provincial Park last Sunday was showing us them in full bloom.
Almost all of the trillium’s here are white..
Was looking to see if I find any pink or red once. Had seen them in another forest just as they started to come into blooming seasons 2 weeks ago.
This last morning at the beach was the perfect ending to this amazing trip…
Had this stray dog pop himself down right by my side as I was reading. I thought this was to funny…
Memories and Joy in my life.
I say Thank You to all that made this trip so special and a joy in my Life .
…..Ah Yes already a month passed. It has been so amazing and fun… I am speechless with all I have see and experianced and that in only 23 days.
Another beautiful Day…Monday January 20th. hearing the ocean surf. They (Resort) say close the balcony doors when you go to sleep…
Not what I want to do… I feel safe and love to falling asleep and waking up with listening to the waves crushing onto the beach. Kind of miss the rocking to sleep on the “Lady Natalie” though. The ground I walk on is moving to the waves….
Going to be another beautiful day by the beach… thinking of where the Lady Natalie may be sailing to on her next adventure as I watch he drift away to in the Sea…what are the chances I’ll be here again one day I ask myself?
Every Day here is beautiful….
My Last Evening sunset joy and happiness.
I say Thank You to all that made this trip so special and a joy in my Life
memory and love in my life.
Sweet and Juicy. Starfruit just freshly picked from the tree. You should see the size of them and sooooo many just hanging on this tree. The owner of the home came over to see us and told us to just take as many as we like as she can’t keep them all. Wow. How amazing is that.
I tell you the Grenadian people are so nice and kind to us. I would be honored to call them my friends.
This is an Ice Wonderland right here in Sutton, Ontario….
unbelievable how there is sooooo much ice on the beach! This is not to far from us about 30 minutes driving…people where still on the ice doing Ice-Fishing…
I guess they know what they are doing….felt a little more comfortable staying on land at this time of year.

Tint Of Autum is the perfect memory of this wonderful time in Europe.
I was so excited to be able to go on a holiday to Europe this past Fall 2017 a cruise

“So Beautiful and Memorys to keep”
“Spending time with my mom back home in Switzerland and with great friends….”
Exiting part of this trip was the Ms. Excellence Allegra our Ship stopped in Amsterdam….yessss guess who has a store there? Stephen West and Penelope…I just had to visit this store! We bought yarn and some stitch markers with…
Oh yes bicycle theme. So cool
Reni my girlfriend was totally on board to find this store too. Though she doesn’t knit much she still bought yarn so this is where I came into play….happily I have to say
She fell in love with this Malabrigo Rios yarn, (Smiles I think it was the colour that she had to have) in Amsterdam at Stephen and Penelope’s Store. See more info here for Tints Of Autum Pattern
A hike through the forest…
So peaceful this is!
You should see the rocks and the crevasses, many covered with all kinds of moss. Just love all the little things I see when taking time to look. Perfect moment.
Eine Waderung durch den Wald …
So friedlich ist das!
Du solltest die Felsen sehen und die Äste, viele mit allen Arten von Moos bedeckt. Perfect den Foto Aparat mit zu bringen. All die kleinen Dinge, die ich sehen, mann muss nur die Zeit nehmen zum schauen. Perfekter Moment.
Sure I know it has already gone by, my trip back home to Möhlin in Switzerland and now I am already back home in Canada. Thought I still like to show you some of the time I had been able to spend back in my hometown.
School Girlfriend visits first day of my stay. So nice to see you Silvia!…Unbelievable but we have not seen each other for at least 35 years.
Last Day today…so if you have not seen us at the show over the past view days. You still have a chance today…Great show… lots of yarn vendors one of them is us “The Yarn Store” booth 631 You have to see the new Unicorn Tails by Madelinetosh .
There is also a great wonderful lady Nina, love her Love and Passion for yarn and designing “Creative Yarns Inc” booth 449. She has this oh so soft shawl…Nina sure was nice and cozy and that inside!..wish I took a picture to show you.
There are so many other great vendors there. You have to see the boot 734 right next to us. I think they are “El Tambache Traveling Show”. A father son operation belonging to the Fair Trade Federation. I have been buying mittens and leg warmers whenever I see them. They even have coats that are all lined with super soft fleece too.
As we where leaving the second day, still inside the Metro Toronto Convention Center I had this view. CN Tower directly above me.
Always like to go to Toronto it is a stunning view when you drive in to the city it
Hope today will be a good day for you ladies working the show. Take a break, have a lunch you will need it for the take down after.
does not matter from what side.
Wow what a happening Place.
Sunny, warm and yes Music playing. At first I thought it was always that way.
Music by the Lake. Then I clued in a big screen right by the Lake Ahhh I get it “FIFA Soccer Night”.
This city is a must see …..
I love the tropical feel one get when entering to the south of Switzerland.
Palm trees are a welcome sight. If you like watches and jewellery you better put your walled away. The Glitz, Glam and sparkles are amazing and so are the prices.
You have to see the butcher shops…wow! I even seen a show maker …He was very happy to have me take a picture too. My eyes opened up wide when I seen the spaghetti noodles at one meters long.
Walking by the waterfront, just perfect with all the hustle and bustle of the young and old walking or sitting by the waterfront.
I love all the small allies that lead from out Hotel to the Lake. So special to be able to show this to my son.
Wow, was für ein “Happening Platz”.
Sonnig, warm und ja Musik. Zuerst dachte ich, es ist immer so. Musik beim See? Dann sahen wir die großen Leinwand direkt am See Ahhh natürlich “FIFA Soccer Night” ist ja am laufen.
Diese Stadt muss man besuchen wenn man in der Schweiz ist.
Ich liebe die tropische Atmosphäre in der Süde-Schweiz. Palmen sind ein willkommener Anblick.
Wenn Du nach einer Uhr oder Schmuck suchst, das musst Du den Geldpeutel hervor nehme! Glitz, Glam funkelt fast jeder Laden und so auch die Preise.
Ja die Metzgereien, so viel Fleish das immer auch in den Fenstern hängt. Sogar ein Schuhmacher freute sich das ich ihn Fotographierte. Meine Augen öffnete breit, ein Meter lange Spaghetti Nudelns.
Am See spazieren zu gehen,einfach perfekt mit dem juble und trubel von Jung und Alt. Ich liebe all die kleinen “Gässlein”, die von unserem Hotel zum See führen. Und all das durfte ich meinem Sohn zeigen. Ihm hat es hier glauv=be ich am Besten Gefalle. So blieben wir noch etwas länger.
Our Switzerland trip continues from Tirano,Italy to Lugano,Switzerland though the Valtellina Valley by bus.
A wine region of Italy, Valtellina has been a wine-producing area for more than 2000 years .The vineyards are all on the hillsides of this Valley.
Truly a fantastic bus trip. Especially when you see how narrow, curvy and winding the roads are once you get closer to Lugano. Yes those bus driver know how to get you from Tirano to Lugano nice and safe. You have to see the video I too.
http://youtu.be/p14Q9BWLSWY and http://youtu.be/QCFMKxaGQ3w
But have a look…we had a quick stop at “Comune Di Sorico” have a look at where they where selling local cheese and dried meat. I am sad I did not bring any back to my brother. Sorry…Sooo cool I thought. I would have bought some but we still had a two days to travel and no way to keep it. Love the Bell tower in this village
.
Usere Schweizer Reise geht weiter von Tirano, Italien nach Lugano, Schweiz.
Durch das Valtellina-Tal mit dem Bus. Eine Weinregion von Italien, Valtellina ist schon für mehr als 2000 Jahren ein Wein Gebiet. Die Weinbergen sind alle auf den Hängen des Tals.
Wirklich eine fantastische Busfahrt. Vor allem, wenn man sieht, wie eng, kurvig und wendend die Straßen sind, wenn Du näher nach Lugano kommst. Ja, die Busfahrer wissen, wie Sie von Tirano nach Lugano ihre Gäste sicher ans Ziel bringen.
Hier sind 2 Videos http://youtu.be/p14Q9BWLSWY so wie http://youtu.be/QCFMKxaGQ3w
Aber schaut… wir hatten einen kurzen Aufenthalt in “Comune Di Sorico” hier kann man von einen kleinem Camper einheimischer Käse und getrocknete Würste kaufen. Ich bin traurig, ich hatte es verpasst meinem Bruder so etwas nach Hause zu bringen. Sorry…das nächste Mal dann.
Enjoying a afternoon by the water front in Barrie, Ontario.
(Einen schönen Nachmittag am See in Berrie, Ontario)
Decided to bring my camera and my Macro lens.
(Meine Kamera kommt fast überal mit)
Just love to take pictures close up.
Finally made it to Italy to a quaint old Town called Tirano.
Switzerland trip part 4
The terminal station at the south end of the Bernina Railway. When you arrive in Tirano from Switzerland with the Bernina Express you drive right past the historic “The Madonna di Tirano” dating back to the 1504.
A town in Valtellina, in the province of Sondrio, Northern Italy. It has about 9,044 inhabitants and is adjacent to the Switzerland – Italy boundary.
Departed the Bernina Express later in the afternoon we immediately started looking for a Hotel.
I had forgotten that in Europe lots of Restaurants close their kitchen till 6 or 7 pm so no supper till then… So we decided to go sight-seeing.
Schon lange wollte ich nach Italien.
Wir sind in einer malerischen alt Stadt namens
Die Endstation am südlichen Ende der Berninabahn. Wenn Du von der Schweiz mit dem Bernina-Express ankommst,
fährt die Bahn gerade bei der historischen “The Madonna di Tirano” aus dem 1504 vorbei. Gleich als wier von der Bernina ExpressBahn ausstiegen, fragten wie nach Hotels für eine Nacht. Glücklich waren wir das Hotel Corona mit guten Preise, saubere Zimmer und freundliches Personal gefunden zu haben das auch in der Nähe von dern Bahn ist.
Ich hatte vergessen, dass in Europa viele Restaurants die Küche, bis 18:00 oder 19:00 Uhr schliessen.So kein Abedessen bis dann …
Also beschlossen wir etwas herum zu laufen und die Gegend an zu sehen. Alte Gebäude, kleine Straßen, sehr alte Türen, ein Stein Badewanne draussen wo das Wasser aus dem Berg durchfliesst.
Wirklich eine sehr historische Stadt. Aber eine, die eine sehr befahrene Hauptstraße hat die aus dem Süden Italiens, die Waren in die Schweiz bringt.
Oh habe das doch fast fergessen. Gelato die Glasse von Italien ..und ich habe das ganz verpassed zum schlecken…ja nun muss ich noch einmal nach Italien gehen. Ja der” Chianti” auch eine Spezialität von Italien. Oh und die fahren mit ihrne Autos sogar auf dem Fussgängern Wegen. Lustig das zu sehen…
