Oh, and Savoche beat you to it:

Oh, wait.

That's booty.

Bodacious booty.

Larger than most of us would like booty.

Sorry, eh?

Big bacon is wrong?

Bonjour y'all ... just droppin' in to share a bit of info. I made the local paper(s) this morning ...

!

https://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/vienne/les-photons-john-harris-s-expose-...dfRpQaXlphYZM0

Here's a quick Google translate that I cleaned up a bit ...

"As every year, the Sancto-Benedictine photographic club, "The Photons", exhibits throughout the month of June its work of the year in the lobby of La Hune (at Saint-Benoît) (it's a theater). Among the themes presented, a series "In the manner of ...", gives rise to beautiful shots around prestigious names of photographers such Franco Fontana, Sabine Weiss, Martin Parr, Raymond Depardon ... or painters like Andy Warhol, Claude Monet or Gustav Klimt. John Harris is a newcomer to the club. Of American origin, it (he) is installed at Poitiers since about fifteen years. Until 2018, he taught law and management at the School of Business and Management of Poitiers (Escem). "Photography has always been a hobby for me. In recent years, I have taken it a bit more seriously. I was looking for a club where I could meet other photography enthusiasts and discuss our respective practices. To have a third eye on my work. "
As part of the Photons exhibition, John Harris offers a series of digital photographs of flowers, made partly in the "Garden of Plants" of Poitiers, treated in the manner of Klimt (Flower Garden series) and Impressionist colorists, with delicate "Bokeh", areas of progressive blur in the background, highlighting the main subject. As part of the National Day of Blood Donor, Thursday, June 13 and Friday, June 14, the photographer (John) will exhibit at Blossac Salons in Poitiers, his black and white film images, street snapshots, captured during his wanderings (walks).
Exhibition of the club "Les Photons", reception hall of La Hune in Saint-Benoît, until Saturday, June 30th. Free entry. Open on weekdays from 9 am to 12:30 pm, from 2 pm to 5:30 pm and during show hours. Free entry. Contact: Chantal Ciupa, President. Such. 06.07.74.30.87 or 05.49.36.03.41. Email: lesphotons86@gmail.com - John Harris website: Flickr: www.flickr. com / photos / 139020494 @ N02"

NB - The "beard" attempt is a first for me and only three weeks old when the photo was taken. It looks better now. Really. Trust me.

Hereabouts you wouldn't be allowed to use it in any meaningful way, though. Recreational off-roading is mostly illegal.

Here too, but Charlie can ride from Ottawa all the way to my place and beyond on the old Ottawa/Parry sound rail bed. Except for the part where the bridge is washed out. But it's illegal to ride them off road and I believe the membership for the ATV association is around $300 a season. Non-the less, offloading is an environmental disaster here with off roaders tearing up the environment and leaving their garbage in places without garbage collection or clean up crews all over the province, and generally doing a lot of illegal fishing and poaching. I'm sure Charlie wouldn't be involved in any of that though. Most, just get on the established trails and enjoy a good ride, spend their lunch money at the Madmusher and their gas money at the Algonquin Gas bar, keeping a few Whitneyites, in hard to come by gainful employment.

Right now, the trail is washed out at the bridge so they don't go by my house. I believe there is a bipass. So my life is unusually peaceful for this time of year.

There are lots of legit ATV trails in Ontario. Especially near Ottawa. We get Europeans coming here to ride in the summer as part of their vacation.

If you see the Algonquin Park label on the map, the food symbol on the map is Whitney, I can walk to both restaurants.
