Back and forth to Nelson today

Finally I remember to bring my camera today so I can snap a few pics on the way to work, but before I even got to the Marina, I realized that manyof the trees had already shed their colourful leaves. I snapped away anyhow...

The first is on my way towards Kokanee Marina.

Looking up the east end of Baker street

Just above Gerrick's cycle

On my way home ,approaching the bluffs

Observing the full moon on my drive home.

The real picture that was going on behind my back!

It got better by the minute

Better yet, when I used my sunset setting on my camera

It must have been the trails from airplanes that left the giant swastika in the sky

If you'd like a little history and insite into Math, here is some interesting reading... "Here's Looking at Euclid"
I should have read this before Math 11.

End off summer Party

Just some of the delicious foods that everyone contributed! Thank-you great neighbours!

Linda and Marlene digging in

First we went downhill, then we came back up!

I just chucked the ball,best I could!

Well, what a perfect Saturday for a get together of most all of the neighbours at our house for several games of Bocce and Top Toss,before we dug into hot chili and BBq'd hot-dogs & smokies that Emil cooked up for everyone. We live in the neighbourhood of gourmet cooks as they all contributed with such delicious treats as Triple chocolate ake, Tiramasu;Oriental salad, Caezer, greek, Waldorf,coleslaw with pineapple and delicious appies puff pastry rolls with pine nuts and sundried tomatoes in them!!!...Veggies and excellent dips, by Marlene and Yummy roasted veggies and a rice dish. I made a streudal and sad to say I forgot to bring out David's two pies from his cooler... I'd say everyone was preetty plum full by the end of the night. We were ,of course,all freezing our butts off, but our lovely new neighbour, david, and his son, made a fabulous bonfire and those who were left gathered around and warmed our fronts, then our backs... By then we thought it was ten o'clock, but here it was only 7:00 or so... everyone turned in early and cold. We woke up to serious frost this morning...all over my tablecloths on the tables outside... too funny...looked like a ghost movie being made.

Speaking of movies, the week was abustle with the making of the movie Tall Man with Jessica Beale. They had huge lights set up to light up the whole road all past Kakanee park so they could film car scenes and a rolling over van that actually had an additional set of wheels on the side of the van to enable it to "skid " down the highway,complete with sparks... I never saw an of the actually chase or vehicle scenes, but there was plenty of activity every night when I passed thru on my way home from work. They have also been filming in ymir and Silverton. ( Its a spooky movie about a new teacher who once she comes to town seems to ahve something to do with missing children in the community)
