My King City house goes up for sale...

Photo by Barry Wallace

After 36 years of living in the house pictured above, on Forde Crescent in King City, I have put the house up for sale.   After losing my dear wife Linda to cancer 18 months ago, I have decided to leave King City and to move into the brand new Delmanor Aurora retirement community.   I'll be one block away from my eldest daughter, her husband and their two boys.   What becomes of my 'Camera on King'  blogsite when I move from King City to Aurora?   Well, nothing in the foreseeable future.   That will also be the case for my  'BarrytheBirder' blogsite.   I'm expecting to have even more time to spend on photographic pursuits for my two blogsites.   See you down the road.

This sign of encouragement for Canadian Olympic athlete Rosie MacLennan stands in the centre of King City, at the intersection of King Road and Keele Street.   Her performance looked good enough to me to take the gold again.   Great effort Rosie and thank you.

New style of ice fishing hut?

These Items for sale in the Holland Marsh, appear to me to be a new style of ice-fishing hut.   They are located at the business property operating on the south-east corner of Hwy. 400 and the North Canal Road.   Looks kind of interesting.

I was making my rounds with my camera on  Friday morning looking for King Township birds and dragonflies, but had to settle for this bright blue helicopter instead.
