The morning was mostly overcast but the temperature was up with the promise of a good day ahead. I spent the morning reading and once I had finished lunch the sun was starting to break through the clouds so I set out for the eastern roads that I have done many times before. I decided to keep my driving today short and sweet. So I drove straight to Roberts line and started looking for scenes. Not too far along, the road enters a section with forest on both sides, here I parked and got out to walk along the road. The sun was not yet bright so I was looking for some solid patches of muted colour amongst the trees. I found quite a few things to capture. It felt great being out here and walking a bit along the road.
I continued along the line for the next while ending up in Jamestown where I gathered some great shots in the sun now that it had come out. As time was closing in on when I was to do a radio contact, I decided to avoid port Bruce and so I started back towards home. I was not seeing as much colour until I turned north heading back towards Roberts line. I did get a few more photos before my radio contact. At the time of the contact I tried the repeater but it wouldn't connect, I tried a few more but none would connect me to Vancouver. It was quite annoying. So that task failed. Later in the day, I tried again and I did succeed in reaching Ralph while he was on his way home from work.
Done with the radio, I decided to head home and just relax in the sun and to go for a walk with Carolyn. The city has vastly improved the harbour and beach area for walking so it was very welcoming. The afternoon was perfect for walking to the beach and so we went enjoying the warm breeze.
