A Brief Return

On Monday September 19th it was cool and overcast and rained off and on during the day.  Actually we were really lucky, because most of the weekend was supposed to be like that.  But the forecasters were wrong and we actually had really good weather.  We got in two full days of photography, as well as a couple of rounds of golf.
On Tuesday morning Arturo and I were planning to head back to Edmonton.  But the day dawned clear and sunny, and after an overnight frost, it quickly warmed up.  We decided to make a quick visit back to the Collieries, and ended up shooting there again for two or three hours.  It was obvious that in the three days we had been away, that someone else had visited.  A number of things had been moved around and disturbed.  Nothing was vandalized or missing, so that was good.
By early afternoon we really had to get going.  So we packed up our stuff, locked up the cottage, and hit the road for home.  We continued our visiting during the drive home and made it back to the city by early evening.  It was a very enjoyable weekend and I really got a lot out of the one on one time spent with Arturo.  Not only did we get a bunch of photographs taken that potentially will work for our Apparitions project, but we also had a chance to discuss the project in detail, and to just visit.  It was a great time, and I look forward to doing it again sometime.
Other than the drop off of the appliances I didn't do any work in the guest cottage or in the yard this time around.  Next time I come out I plan on spending some time working.
