Photos – My Return to Michigan State University – 1979-1981 (Set Three – My Canadian Bike Trip)
-
-
My Canadian bike trip through Ontario continues with this set, and here I come across an abandoned church building; and had to think that the only constant is that Christ remains with His people…despite having left this church building behind.
-
-
A picture of my bike with the tent pitched for the night; this tent was excellent for a solo bike trip.
-
-
The people of Canada were just as generous and gracious towards me on this bike trip, as the the people in the U.S. and U.K. were on my other trips.
-
-
I had difficulty on my bike trip through France because I couldn’t communicate with anyone; which was my fault…not theirs.
-
-
I would love to renovate the little stone house without the roof on it, shown in the previous picture; it has so much potential to become a picture perfect little cottage.

-
A sculpture of William Shakespeare in the beautiful town of Stratford, Ontario; check it out at: welcometostratford.com.
-
-
Black swans along the shoreline at Victoria Lake in Stratford, Ontario; I would later live near Stratford-upon-Avon, in England.
-
-
My bike sits alongside an Amish horse and buggy; demonstrating two very honest ways to travel through the countryside.
-
-
Henry David Thoreau said, “As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler…” meaning that a simple life does away with much more than possessions, it unclutters your thinking as well.
-
-
Thoreau continues, “…solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.”
-
-
What appears to be “empty” in a quiet life, is really an overflowing of abundance…of things as of yet undiscovered; here I photograph and talk with this Amish horse.

A view of Lake Huron from Pinery Provincial Park, just down the coast from Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada.
-
-
Lake Huron was beautiful to look at from the Ontario side of the lake; and out there beyond the horizon is America.
-
-
The beach at Pinery Provincial Park was natural, scenic and undisturbed; and made from smooth little pebbles.
-
-
My camera lens peers through the window of an abandoned house, looking out towards my bike parked along the road.
-
-
The top window pane frames my bike, and captures the beautiful spring sunshine that fills the yard outside.
-
-
On closer examination, my bike awaits my return for new and undiscovered sights and adventures down the highway.
-
-
The lower pane frames a pure and tranquil natural scene of a simple field basking in the sunshine.
-
-
A garden grows ever so patiently; waiting for the frost to stay away and for the warmth of spring to arrive.
-
-
A view of my campsite in an outbuilding along the way; I kept a log book detailing my travels and the generosity of the Canadian people towards me on this trip, that I’ll later chronicle in my autobiography.
