The theme is Introductions for the first week. With that, I thought I would introduce you to where we hail from now for our retirement years. I am originally from the capital of Canada (Ottawa) and travelled while with the Canadian Forces and then our last "working years" being in Kingston Ontario (the original capital of Canada before Bytown or what is now known as Ottawa).
The big hamlet or Village of Plevna in North Frontenac Township. Plevna received it's first settlers in 1861 in what was once known as the Village of Buckshot (later renamed to Plevna). Elisha and Elijah Playfair settled on either side of this road where it crossed Buckshot Creek roughly from where I took this shot from and where you will see many photos of the Creek itself that I have taken over the years and you likely will see again in my 365.
Our little "house in the ditch" as our daughter calls our home was once the home of the Geo Caprin Store which not only housed a store but, also a post office according to the Historic Tours of North Frontenac Book that picked up at our local Home Hardware store before Christmas. As the house is located "in the ditch" winter parking can be tricky as the lane can get quite icy so we have "winter parking" spot on our property as well which you can see GP's old reliable truck and the rear end of my "Vanilla Ice Cube" on the upper left of this photo.
So there you have it, day 2 has been photographed with a Canon EOS 1DS Mark III with a vintage Magnicon Macro 3.5 70-210 lens on an adapter and processed in Lightroom Classic with the Mastin Labs Fuji Colour Pushed Cloudy preset to give it more of a vintage feel.
