After a few days to recoup from the 15.5 hour flight here … off to Phuket. White sand beaches, heat and crowds.

🙏🙏🙏🇹🇭 January 5, 2024 Bangkok, Thailand


By my reckoning, this is my 10th trip to Thailand. It is the most challenging so far as this blog is concerned. I am battling the giants, both Google and Meta (Instagram). I won’t bore you with the details, but my photos on here disappear after a few weeks. While I am working on this, I decided to publish anyway. Once I figure out what’s going on, I will restore the photos. Anyone interested in the details can message me.

Bangkok Thailand for a few days… Wat Pathum Wanaram





A temple near Siam Paragon large mall is new for me.

Recycled temple flowers …

Some culture for me. We went to The McMichael Art Gallery to mainly view the exhibit on Group of Seven Artist Tom Thomson. So much more.

Perhaps Tom Thomason’s most famous painting, The Jack Pine




My own pic …




Fire Hose For Use by “Trained Persons Only” … obviously modern art !

🇨🇦()()() Midland, Ontario. Port Carling . Bala . Ontario - October 2023

I changed my mind. I’ve decided to continue publishing this blog. I’ve had several recent posts hacked or partially deleted. Not sure why my photos have been removed…twice! They are ALL my original photos and property. I cannot find out why, so have continued to re-publish the posts. 

I’m in Midland Ontario for a week. Just a few pics …

Bala Cranberry Festival. Something truly special. Exceptional food and sights. Highly recommended!














Port Carlton. Essentially here for the steamships in dry dock for refurbishment 









Martyr’s Shrine Midland. Not far from where I’m staying. A few mostly foliage pictures.
