Weather still in the double digits in Kingston and the hot rodders are still out and visiting Timmy’s.

Remembrance Day came and went this year and the weather was the same like always in Kingston. We went to the RCHA memorial in City park to see the guns go off and of course the gun misfired.

Then off to Tommy’s for lunch and the weekend to relax and enjoy in plus 10 degrees for the next week.

by John McCrae, May 1915

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

This year the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes hosted the area’s pumpkin carving contest both above and below the surface. I took the chance to take photos and hone skills as the carvers took to the water. 90 mins later I surfaced and watched the judging.

Prizes were great this year, and the photographers and videographers all got gift certificates from local hotels. Fun was had by all and thanks to the staff at the Marine Museum for putting this on.

Hopefully next year will be bigger and better.

Nice day to dive and avoid the rapture which fizzed faster then the lead up to it.

A couple of dives today on the Marsh and Comet, Vis about 50 feet and temps around 40.

This months theme at the camera club is black and white, so here are some of my attempts. Enjoy

Bruce, Adam and I headed to the vacated mcKendry Brickworks today for a shoot this was my third trip there and still had lots to see and photograph.
