Just a few days and I will be going home to Scotland.
It's been a great 4 weeks, staying with my daughter and her family, seeing my granddaughters 4th birthday while I was here--- she is certainly growing up fast.
The weather has been good this time, being in the mid teens to the early twenties, just right and not too hot as last year,where it was hard to be outside for any length of time.
The fishing has also been good, getting out on a boat twice for some walleye and bass fishing on the Detroit river.
I have to thank my friend Mel Diotte for taking me-- and for most of the shots posted on here.
I also ventured out to the local marina with my grandchildren where we caught some small fish.
They were excited at first but their interest soon dwindled after eying up the playground at the back of them.
The birdwatching over here is always good -- with a lot of new species to see-- identification is hard though,especially the warblers, you can hear them but spotting them amongst the leaves is very hard.
Last but not least--- I celebrated my 68th birthday while here and thank my family for the presents and the great day--- I will remember it for a long time.
Another silver bass comes to the net
Not a big silver bass but we had plenty of them
Another small fish, this time from the walls of the marina
Not to be outdone, my grandson gets one too
My granddaughter hooked this one, she wouldn't hold it though
There's always someone coming round to see how your getting on.

A thank you to Mel ( my captain and good friend) for taking me out fishing.
