Sailing lessons/ Watery Wednesday

Sailing lessons, Rochester, New York

Yesterday was a cloudy, muggy, windy day in Upstate New York where I have been for a few days but these kids were having a wonderful time learning to sail. And none of them seemed to mind that their boat was number 13...and, although several other boats tipped over, this one stayed upright during the entire lesson.

I have quite a few posts to read and respond to so I'm hoping to get around to all of you very soon.

I am linking to Watery Wednesday where you can find many more watery photos.

Six Nations/ My World

Victoria Park, Brantford, Ontario

Unveiled in 1886, this granite and bronze monument, designed by Percy Wood of England, celebrates Joseph Brant and the confederacy of the Mohawk, Oneida, Onondaga, Cayuga, Seneca and Tuscarora First Nations - The Six Nations.

Chiefs of each of the Six Nations (at the time when the bronze was cast) were models for the figures

The British government donated the bronze, recycled cannons used at the Battle of Waterloo and in the Crimean War. The Six Nations supported the British during the American Revolution.

The monument is one of the first of its kind in North America
