I agree faygan....since I've seen and walked through many of Oregon's lighthouses, this Canadian one actually looks more liveable than most.

Thank you for the caterpillar quote. I used to collect butterflies and have loved them since one lnded on my stroller when I was 2 and I picked it up. I think it was a monarch. As my mother started to say don't let go I had already opened my hand and it flew away over the buildings in Brooklyn. Butterflies are signs of resurrection so I hope I will have a firmer grip on my salvation than I did on the butterfly!

Hi Pixi, there is a man on our island who has established a butterfly farm. He goes into prisons and gives them the chrysalis and the prisoners make boxes (see through) in which they place the butterflies after they have emerged and in turn these are given to sick children. The "butterfly man" (Ray) also has a huge butterfly enclosure and it is a great place to go and sit. Half of his property is for butterflies and the other half is for hydroponic vegies. He gives away plants which encourage butterflies. Lovely man. Hugs.

Thanks for that, Aussie. I went to a butterfly haven in Colorado and it was so wonderful it made me cry.
There was another in the botanical garden in Calgary Zoo and they had glass cases with various species in different stages of chrysalis development and some hatching. It was fascinating.

Used to want to be an entomologist, but there was way too much math involved! Raised many butterflies and moths as a teenager. The wonder of the transformation never failed to leave me in awe. To have a newly-hatched moth sit on your finger while its wings dry and stretch out - about two hours - is a special treat.

Never had that joy. Must have been wonderful, aknan.

Amen! I only saw the Horseshoe falls on the Canadian side near the Niagara Falls and the sky was lovely and you could see the mist in the air. I was very young then and we traveled by car up to the border. Have a lovely Sunday everyone as I have a celebration to honor a person in our house of worship.

Hello from Canada! Husband and I drove from Toronto, Ontario up through Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and ending in Prince Edward Island. We stopped along the way in various places. Two weeks of driving. It was a vacation that I will never forget. Wonderful food, lovely people and excellent vistas to be seen at any time. Most favourite place was the Cabot Trail in Nova Scotia.

Hugs to all of you! Hope you're having a great weekend!

We didn't get to the north island. That's still on my bucket list. I'd like to go from there to Labrador and the Gaspe.
