... one bazillion and one, one bazillion and two, one bazillion and ...

On a cool summer evening, Lynn, Jordan and I built a shoreside campfire. For the first while we sat and listened to the crackle of some free cedar kindling, kindly provided by a neighbour. We watched as smoke drifted up and out over the bay until the main wood caught.

Sun had dipped below the horizon when Jordan picked up his acoustic guitar and began to play. First, his own composition, a piece he is working on for me. I intend to use a recording of it as background music for a yet to be created slide show of my fine art images, and perhaps even a studio open house at some point. I love listening to J play anytime, and it's something else when it's beside a campfire.

Lynn was leaning back in one of the "Bruce Chairs" (others might call them Muskoka or Adirondack chairs, but to me they are my "Bruce Chairs"), pointing out the stars as they made their nightly appearance. One, two, three ...

Soon the sky was full of stars, planets, satellites and a few meteors .... and ohhhhh that MIlky Way.

Forget counting ! It turned out to be a wonderful night for watching stars, and for photographing the Milky Way.
