This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: Pick a Place.
Having moved around the U.K. and Canada over the decades I had quite a few ideas for the challenge. It was my recent One Word Sunday: Luck that made me think of the summer of 1985.
I spent part of that summer living in southern Ontario. All the photos are from that summer.

Beautiful David. Loved that you remembered eating ice cream while shooting sunset😊

Thanks Tina. It wasn’t hard to remember the best Rum and Raisin ice cream I’ve ever had.

Thanks Stuart. In a strange coincidence we live about 30 minutes from where the quite a few of the photos were taken but I haven’t been back to Inglis Falls or the dock at Big Bay.

I have never tasted such an ice-cream – but lovely memories!

Well, to be honest, the idea of Raisins in ice cream sound a bit odd but Rum and Raisin is one of my favourite flavours.

Great photos. The catch the eye and make it travel around.

It was, it took quite a while for the snake to swallow it.
