The Olympic Torch has started its way across Canada. It was recently at a Market called "Goats On the Roof" in Coombs on Vancouver Island, we took this shot when we were there in '03...the goats live there and feed off the grass roof

here's a newspaper photo of the actual event

the Torch was in Tofino BC where the Trans Canada highway beginsto start the journey

this will be a hard stretch as this part of the Island is pretty mountainous...Mt. Aerosmith Arrowsmith from our cousin's home on the Island....we were there for a June 21 wedding..

I was just a few minutes too slow to get today's Discussion started. I lost time looking for a pic to post. I'll delete mine, GTO.

Beautiful Election Day here in Pennsylvania. Temps are holding in the mid-50s and the Phillies pulled out a win last night to stay alive in the Series! Go Phillies! Just got back from a late breakfast out with some friends. Election Day brings out the crowds for breakfast even though it's already time for lunch.

Today's shot is two years old and was taken in Bolzano, Italy. I thought it had a nice fall look to it.

I waited and waited and when I didn't see any takers, I jumped in

nice is right TW!!

Go Phillies!

Oh, and Louie, great "stop action" on that Orca! ;-)

Love the Goats/on roof on the Island.
tymwp~it's very colorful and fall-like.
Andy~they do look beautiful before becoming frost-bitten.
A quick note off subject~I just went to add some jewelry to my glasscraftbyjackie site; and I've accidently deleted all the items; so, will have to start from scratch as I can't seem to recover them. So, the site is unusable at this time.
22*F late this afternoon w/snow in the forecast.

Sorry to hear about that little accident Kiska. How long do you think it will take to get things up and running again.

Sounds a little nippy up your way.

[Kiska]

tymwp~just finished an hour and only 6 items listed so far. I find the etsy site tedious when it comes to adding items. Being here is more fun:)

[Andy P]

Ouch, Jackie. Thats awful. Your glass work deserves exposure, get to work, lol.

[Kiska]

Yes sir!! back to work, indeed. Time for a break, now.
This vase is hot out of the kiln. The glass is irridescent, a root beer color exterior, w/purple inside. The exterior has frit and 3 large pieces of dichroic glass.
Need to get a better pic, "later"; it needed to get listed.
I now have more pieces than I can ever list in a timely manner. My DH wants to get in on some Christmas bazaars.

Interesting place, Louie. And thank you for filling us in on the Olympic torch's travels.

Colorful market fare, TW. Lovely shot of it, too.

[thymewarp13]

That 'Goats on a Roof' Market looks really neat. Actually, I might have wondered what was going on in the picture in the newspaper article if you (and the article) hadn't told us it was the Olympic torch.

[GTO]

If you have Google earth, google it or Coombs BC, and it will take you there....you'll see some different shots showing the Market and goats

From a couple weeks ago, before frost.
The main flower bed with happy dahlias.

All the tender bulbs are in as of today even the last glads that still had flowers. We were in the mid 50s today, too. The warmest we expect for the rest of the week.
