Re: January 26, 2016: Theodore Too, Halifax, Nova Scotia
Hi GarryRF Thanks for sharing your story and picture regarding THE MERSEY FERRY "SNOWDROP". That's quite the ship. I can imagine the look on peoples faces when the "Snowdrop" goes by.

I want to be one of those faces who get that "Look" after seeing something special, especially as you put it "Art On The...

Re: Your Post-COVID South Australia Travel Bucket List
Thank you for this lovely posting reminding me of the beauty of South Australia. Unfortunately, the country is cut off from the rest of the world, which is particularly harsh for those many of us with family there. I am pleased you included photos of the wonderful Kangaroo Island, and I attach pictures from my last visit there in 2017 of the well-named Remarkable Rocks, Australian sea-lions at Seal Bay and also an example of a Rosenberg's goanna, which are not uncommonly seen beside the road .
