The Lollipop People
Friendly Rich and one of The Lollipop People at The Guelph Jazz Festival. It's not every day you see a jazz performance with banjo and a singer who tears his clothes off.

The Little White Road
The Little White Road
Oh the little white road climbs over the hill,
My feet they must follow, they cannot be still,
Must follow and follow though far it may roam.
Oh little white road you will never come home.
Oh, the hills they are patient and steadfast and wise,
They look over the valleys and up to the skies,
But the little white road scrambles up them and over.
Oh, little white road you are ever the rover.
I fain would go with you right down to the sea
Where a ship with white sails would be waiting for me,
Go sailing and sailing to strange lands afar
Where deserts and forests and lost cities are.
But when I grew weary of my gypsying ways
I'd sail home again for to end all my days
In the little grey cottage, beside the grey hill.
But you, little road, would be wandering still

from the mows
"They ate the hay we pushed down from the mows."
This is the mow hole that was the inspiration for the song.
Different cow though.

red eft
The red eft is the land dwelling life stage of the aquatic Eastern Newt (or red spotted newt).
I'd never seen one of these in an escarpment forest - but during their adolescence they spend a couple of years bouncing around the block before heading off to reproduce and decompose in a nearby pond.
Resist any unlikely urge to hold the tiny creature in your hand. The skin secretes a poison.

wind and sand
Part of Erie Shores Wind Farm from the top of Ontario's largest sand pile.
The promo materials say the pile is 450 feet but that seems a little puffed up. 300 maybe.
