ANY GUESSES ON WHICH ONE IS THE FEMALE GULL |
GONE ARE THE TREES THAT WERE ONCE RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME AS WELL AS THE TALL CLIFFS....NOTHING HERE LOOKS AS IT ONCE DID
Home again shortly after 10 I busied myself with more raking along the road in front of our place. Hooked up the utility trailer and took a load of yard waste to the Park's landfill site. Pheebs came along to help me unload. While there I heard another rumor about our Park. The latest rumor is that our Park has been sold and the deal closes Friday. Now, an old saying is quite appropriate here....I'll believe it when I see it!! THIS TELEPHOTO SHOT IS OF THE NARROW PIECE OF LAND TO THE EXTREME RIGHT IN THE PHOTO ABOVE....THE CLIFFS ON THE LEFT ARE ALL THAT'S LEFT OF THE CLIFFS THAT ONCE WERE
WORK HAS RESUMED ON THE BOARDWALK BETWEEN ST. CHRISTOPHER'S BEACH AND ROTARY COVE ALONG GODERICH'S SHORELINE THE DOGGY WALKING PATH HEADING SOUTH AND ALTHOUGH THE LANDSCAPE HAD DRASTICALLY CHANGED AHEAD OF ME I HADN'T NOTICED IT YET
Twenty minutes south of us down Highway 21 is the small but rapidly growing little village of Grand Bend. It seems like our whole shoreline area here along the shores of Lake Huron from Goderich to Bayfield and Grand Bend is in some kind of large development phase. There seems to be a lot of money pouring into this region for new higher-end housing and commercial retail, etc. The times are a changing and if you read this Grand Bend link it will give you an idea about what's going on. Big money, big ideas, big plans. Grand Bend Make-Over. Be sure to click on the video in the article. AN EXAMPLE OF SHORELINE EROSION
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Let them take your temperature on your forehead as you enter the supermarket because it erases your memory. I went for macaroni and cheese and came home with two cases of beer.
My mind is like my Internet Browser......its frozen up and I have no idea where the music is coming from.
It's a five minute walk from my house to the pub
It's a 35 minute walk from the pub to my house
The difference is staggering.
Most people don't think I'm as old as I am
until they hear me stand up.
I swear we're fighting two pandemics.
Coronavirus and stupidity. Well ain't that the truth eh!!
=======================
Oh. I won't read about the development in Grand Bend. Happens so many places these days. So many people, and apparently money to go with. Who wouldn't want to live where they could see the lake from a window? I would like it myself. But still, I miss sparsely populated places with water to go with.
ReplyDeleteHeartache. To have places, trees (your maple) be destroyed in the name of progress. I'm sure many people are looking for a place to escape the heat down south. Then again, burgeoning population is causing building here in North Texas, too. Amazing how many apartments can fit into an acre of land, especially if they're stacked several stories tall. Gone forever the fields of bluebonnets that covered miles of in my childhood. This reminds me of my husband's dismay to find his boyhood " rock" gone. He had sat up on the cliff and watched his grandfather's dory as he fished off the shore of Newfoundland. The rock was bulldozed and used to build a sea wall. I suppose this goes along with the "life is always changing" line, but it still hurts. It's good that you still have many forests to explore, at least for now!
ReplyDeleteI know which one is the female too but won't say cause I don't want to get in trouble 😆 Amazing what horrible things happen in the name of progress. A shame.
ReplyDeleteHorrible! I wonder how stable that ground is?
