Fran came back from Hopedale with lots of good memories of visiting her family, and this photo [or copy of a photo] of her mom Verona second marriage to Isac Winters.
Frans memory of the day is not that great, but it was winter of 1953.
Fran and brother Boas at front, grandparents behind them.
Then Isac and Verona and then two of Verona's sisters.
Pity about Isac's head not being in the shot.




The weather cleared up nice yesterday to sunny and warm, +10 is warm for us. Fog is back this morning but if it ends up like yesterday then no complaints.

The ice should not last much longer, bit of wind from the land should give it what for.

I had some good shots of the ice and of a plane approaching taken up Nain hill after a walk up the pole line at back.

What used to be a steep but pleasant meandering foot track has been tuned into a quagmire of mud and exposed rocks and degradation from spring run off.

Like out present water problems it is not a natural phenomenon. Again it is caused by man and his total disregard for the environment in his quest for the almighty dollar.

Shame in them and shame on us for letting it happen.

Wow, that was quick, fog burning off already.
