Wetlands at Bremner Bay

It has been a beautiful day, quite warm for this time of the year, +15C.

I went to Bremner Bay to get my blipfoto, and completed my 8,000 steps.  I set up and used my new camera, not for this photo, but the one of the bride and groom, (extra 1).  I have an old friend visiting me tonight, so will be nice to catch up with her.  Another Friday, so another weekend, I hope yours is a good one.

Blip No. 1991

Year 1991.  I headed off overseas, visiting, the USA, Canada, Israel and Italy.  (Extra 2 is of the Niagara Falls, not very good quality as I photographed the photo.)  I was away for the whole year.
