I don't know why but I have this tune in my head tonight.

My apologises in advance to my French Canadian peeps from Quebec (Kweebec) for Stompin Tom's French.

But what can you say for a good ole boy from St. John NB via Timmins.

Oh and +Billy Wilson will appreciate this I am sure.

The French Lyrics are here: 

Quand on voit une monture, un pistolet, un lasso
On s´imagine l´aventure le cowboy au grand chapeau
Quand on voit les épinettes, une hache et un box-shaw
On r´connaît sous sa casquette le bûch´ron du Canada

{Refrain:}
Oh é il est un gars capable
Ce canadien, le bûcheron
Oh é il est infatiguable
Bon travailleur et gai luron

Au grand matin il se lève et prend un bon déjeûner
Devant une crêpe ou bien des fèves grand spécial du cuisinier
Il n´a pas peur del´ouvrage dès sept... more »

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

If your an aviation fan then this video is amazing, even if you are not it has some fantastic aerial footage.

6 cameras both in plane and on the ground document this wonderful final approach to SFO (FRA to SFO) of Lufthansa Flight 454 Airbus A380. Great editing and voice recording of both the Capitan and First Officer along with SFO tower.

Beautiful views of San Francisco and the Bay Area reminds me of   all of my photographer peeps in that part of the world and it makes me want to get on a plane now this afternoon and join you for dinner.

Have a good one.

Like always everyone is looking forward to some great Selfies.

….always looking ahead, thinking of what comes next, the future, what will be? What will happen? How will I do it? Will everything be alright?

Never time just to pause and look up, to be reminded of the past and how it got us where we are today and of those who went before us.
