What a great park full of oaks and a grass understory. It was the grass that was burned by the park’s burn team joined by provincial natural resources staff. These areas are surrounded by roads and signs, etc like a town.

Spent the afternoon watching a crew burn fields to remove invasive weeds and shrubs in a historical prairie grass field. The residue adds potassium to the soil which improves growing conditions for prairie grass and flowers.

Many of Homer Watson’s paintings include views of the Grand River. Charlie Hill, recently retired Curator of Canadian Art at the National Gallery of Canada shared that Homer painted a lot towards Blair which is down stream from his house in Doon.
Taking Mr. Hill’s observation in hand, two weeks ago Sasha, my son, and I rented a canoe and took a paddle from Freeport to Blair past the Homer Watson House and Gallery. I was particularly hopeful in finding a stand of pines along the river that are in one of his paintings now in the collection of the Kitchener Waterloo Art Gallery. It is called Moonlight along the Grand. We made a few stops allowing me to paint. Here are two, one from shore and one from the boat. There were a few younger pines.
