On September 17, 2017 we started a new chapter in our lives. We moved to Hollandview Trail, a Chartwell Retirement Residence in Aurora, just a 7 minute drive from our home in Aurora. The sale of our house closed on September 27. That chapter had come to a conclusion.

   This is a July, 2019 update, and there has been signifigant change.
June passed away December 21/18. We knew her health issues would
be a challenge and ultimately her heart, with its 12 year old replacement
valve, gave out. I have now had 6 months to adjust to my new reality,
and I am finally getting an update to Portcullis*.

   There are always photographic opportunities around us. It's our job to see them and turn them into photographs. On these pages you'll see some of what I have seen here at Hollandview Trail.
  In September of 2009 we made our second visit to les Iles-de-la-madeleine.
We had all kinds of weather. Wind, rain, sunshine, overcast ... you name it, we had it, and that was great. There were lots of photographic opportunities. What you see here is just a sampling of our 7 day feast. Don't worry about how you get here, just come ... and enjoy wonderful hospitality!
