August as we know it is coming to an end, the sunflowers will be harvested soon just like the corn around us. If you come across a sunflower field, take those photos then, in the moment because the next time you drive by it, they may be cut.

“I want to encourage women to embrace their own uniqueness. Because just like a rose is beautiful, so is a sunflower, so is a peony. I mean, all flowers are beautiful in their own way, and that's like women too." – Miranda Kerr

No luck on the auroa, but getting **some** of the eclipse happening tonight! The clouds never make it easy for us Eastern ON folks eh 😂🤷‍♀️ -- missing about 1/2 the eclipse due to cloud coverage.

Look up TONIGHT! 😍🌌🌕

If you're camping with us tonight, be sure to look up! You'll hopefully be treated to a rare celestial double feature: the northern lights and a near-total lunar eclipse all in one night.

The aurora is expected to be visible a few hours after sunset, with the best viewing often around midnight.

Grab a blanket, settle into your campsite and enjoy nature's evening entertainment. 🍿✨

The 3rd Smith Falls Bike Night is just around the corner! That being said, the weather is not looking too promising, so before anyone gets their hopes up about bike photos; if it is raining, I will not be attending as it is not worth damaging gear.

Also, please note that I will unfortunately not be able to attend the last Bike Night in September either due to other obligations / conflicting schedules.

I look forward to seeing all the bikes again next year for opening Bike Night at the very minimum!

Stay safe and keep those 2 wheels on the grounds ladies and gentlemen (or 3 wheels if you have a Spyder / Trike / Ural)

As promised, photos from July 1st Bike Night are now up! I focused mostly on bikes that were White, Red, or Red & White given the day being . Other bikes were photographed due to the "caught my eye" factor, or noticing cool figurines or stuffies as ride-a-longs as well.

Again, what a lovely day (despite the heat) that was packed with thousands of bikes that drowned out the music acts performing. Seriously, I barely heard the bands over the roaring of bikes coming and going! It was nice to see families with their little ones out enjoying the several designs of bikes as well!

Also, special shoutouts to Ontario Provincial Police - East Region, Smiths Falls Police Service, and Smiths Falls Firefighter's Association for the hard work put into ensuring the safety of community members, visitors from all over, and biker families!

Next Bike Night is August 5th in Downtown Smiths Falls on Beckwith Street and don't forget to stop by Bradshaw Cycle Works booth to grab some merch and see their wicked bike that's on display!

Well ladies and gentlemen, the weather held out for the first 4 hours of Downtown Smiths Falls Bike Night on Canada Day but now there is thunder and we have seen lightening as well. Due to the storm cell approaching, I have packed the camera away.

There were plenty of red, white, and red and white bikes today! Photos will be posted by end of night Friday :)

Oh and who else grabbed themselves an awesome "I survived Smith Falls Bike Night - Good Bikes. Good People. Unforgettable Night. Would Do It Again!" Shirt from Bradshaw Cycle Works ?? 2 Bike Nights down, 2 more to go for Smith Falls!

Have a safe ride home everyone! 🏍
