Our first camping adventure of the 2024 season was the May 24 long weekend at Presqu’ile Provincial Park. On our way there, we stopped to get a picture of the wind turbines up by Highway 115, as it was on our way.

The weather was cool enough to keep the mosquito’s at bay, but not too cool so to make our trip enjoyable.

At the end of April, I made the decision that the new Pentax WG-90 was going to be my daily point-and-shoot companion. This might seem odd given that there’s a camera built right into the cell phone which I also carry with me every day, but to be honest, the phone is lacking in several important aspects which I will go over in my comparison, and as I strive to live more intentionally in each moment, I believe the phone is something I might not wish to have with me at all times anymore.

Growing up, I came to appreciate awe inspiring celestial events; peering into the sky, wondering if I should ever be so fortunate in life. One of these is the solar eclipse; an event that rests at the foundation of ancient myths and legends and has even woven itself into the very fabric of the world’s religions. Some people go to great expense and difficulty to place themselves in places in the world to catch a glimpse of this event, only to have their plans undone by cloud cover.
