Week 35 started off behind the desk working on the new guide but then turned into adventures traveling around the Bancroft area, checking out mines and collecting some minerals. After a fun week it ended traveling back to Kingston for the weekend. Here are the photos from this past week.  

--> 2013 06 17 – Papers and binders are spread across the desk that I work at, at the Bancroft and District Chamber of Commerce. The binder is open to the new mineral guide, a section of the overall guide, hopefully to be done by the end of next week.

2013 06 18 – A beautiful white horse stands in the field in front of a barn off Farr Road near Wilberforce. They were very friendly and a gentleman informed me that they are for a riding school.

2013 06 19 – A garter snake weaves its way through the under brush at the Schickler mine near Wilberforce, Ontario. The garter snake is the state reptile for Massachusetts.

Once again another week is complete. Each week seems to fly by, with new adventures and new stories. Photographing on a daily basis or writing permits these adventures to live on a little longer. Here are the photos from my second week of photographing on a daily basis.   

2013 06 10 – An Alexander Keith’s Red Amber Ale sits on our table at East Side Mario’s while we enjoy the half price appetizers after 9:00 p.m. Alexander Keith’s was founded in 1820 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

2013 06 11 – It has been over 6 years since casting a fishing rod. Decided to get my old rod out and take a few casts at Collins Bay. There are two types of fishing licenses you can buy: sport license and conservation license.

2013 06 12 - A painted turtle wonders along Boulter Road during Wednesday's sunny weather. Adult turtles in the wild can live upwards to 55 years.

2013 06 13 – A snapping turtle looks for a place to lay her eggs along Gibson Road at Tory Hill. They can be found as far west as the Rockies, east to Nova Scotia and as far south as Mexico.

2013 06 14 – A spotted salamander is found near Tory Hill, Ontario. These larger salamanders are nocturnal and eat a wide variety of insect, finding one in the middle of the day is unusual.

2013 06 15 – Two kids try to get close to a deer standing along the side of Monck Street (HWY 28) across the road from the OPP station, west side of Bancroft.

2013 06 16 – The main frame of a barn stands in a field east of Peterborough off HWY 28. Thought it looked cool so I photographed it.

After checking the internet I am unsure who started it but several years back someone thought of the idea to take a photograph every day for 365 day, "Project 365." I'm hoping to make a little adjustment and take a photo a day for as long as I can go. This might be a little bit ambitious so I'm going to approach it with bench markers, such as a month, a year and so on. Anyways here is the first week of photos.

2013 06 03 - Eating supper (bagel with turkey, lettuce, mustard and cheese) in the dinning tent at the Bancroft Tent and Trailer Camp.

2013 06 04 - One of the lakes West of Bancroft, Ontario along Highway 28. (Will get the name)

2013 06 05 - Bancroft Tent and Trailer Camp located at 27366 Hwy 62, 3 km south of Bancroft is home for the next three months. It use to be a KOA.

2013 06 06 - A doe stands out in the swamp off Musclow-Greenview Road near Bancroft, Ontario. In old english "Deor" refered to any wild animal, it was not until early English that the word took on the meaning of this particular animal.

2013 06 07 - The tent at 11:30 p.m. at the Bancroft Tent and Trailer Camp.

2013 06 08 - The bolts we were screwing in to make the ramp into the Bancroft & District Chamber of Commerce.

2013 06 09 - A caterpillar at Miller Mine near Tory Hill, Ontario. Unsure what type of caterpillar, there are so many.
