Going to Almonte

Oops, before we move onto the blather of the day, I feel it necessary to correct some impressions about the Canadian pizza from yesterday's post. Although we call a bacon + peperoni + mushroom pizza the Canadian, it does not have Canadian bacon, just regular bacon. In point of fact, we do not call that kind of bacon Canadian; up here, we call it peameal bacon. And I don't know about the rest of the Canucks out there, but we never have peameal/Canadian bacon.

None of this matters, of course, but I thought it was worth mentioning in passing.

=========================

Onto the topic du jour.

The bathroom sink wasn't holding water, so I referred the problem to Madame Sue because she had already demonstrated that she was familiar with how the stopper pluggy thingie worked. When she pulled it out, there seemed to be the scanty remnants of a washer. Long story short, we drove to Almonte (silent e) where she found washers at Home Hardware.

She got the washer in place and used her pliers as a prop  in one of last weeks' purple themes: two birds with one stone, as it were  

While in Almonte, I took some photos of the waterfalls. They aren't my first or last photos of the falls, and probably not my best, but it was nice to pick up the camera again while also walking in a different place. We've been pretty restricted in town lately with the trails, apart from the bridge route, being very rutty with difficult footing.

I also did a b&w conversion of the first falls photo, which I think that I prefer over the original version in this case — think, not sure. Opinions?

Photoshop can now remove distracting powerlines on command. I tried it with good result but thought that they deserved to be in this photo, since there is a hydroelectric power plant just off the left of the photo. There are actually two power plants associated with these waterfalls. 

I should return sometime with my telephoto lens and focus on little bits of the scene. Meanwhile, Sue had already done that with her new, super duper telephoto-enabled iPhone, although this one is more ice than water.
