Elderly man who fed pigeons

McConnell Avenue Cornwall, 1990

He'd been in the local newspaper for feeding the pigeons - he saw me walking by with a camera and brought out the clippings to show me.

 

Kids playing in a jet black sandbox, Reykjavik, 1992

 Reykjavik, 1992 - The sand in Iceland is often jet black volcanic ash. There are black beaches. I did some presentations at some schools in Iceland. I think this was at one of them.

More candy!

Another miniature Halloween haul from a table outside the Martintown Mill which was closed for renovations this year. Something I haven't seen in decades - the Wunderbar - it's another candy with more than one name. Peanut butter, rice crisps, caramel, with a milk chocolate coating. Like a crunchier Snickers bar. In the UK and Ireland it's called Starbar. Not surprisingly it's also called Wunderbar. This memorable 1970s commercial had Vikings who were speaking German... 

 

Krystal the cat's nose

A tale of two candy names.

 I got these when I brought some cat food to the animal shelter (Halloween).  In the States these are called Smarties, but we call them Rockets as the name Smarties is trademarked for a hard coated chocolate treat similar to M&Ms. I only got these when I went out trick or treating. First time I've had them in decades.

Apicirinicic

 Apicirinicic, a small person that lives in the woods, a protector of nature and of people who respect nature. A shapeshifter in the legends of the Atikamekw people of the central region of Quebec. The video says that an oversized wild animal might be an Apicirinicic in disguise.
