We&#8217;re looking at the South side of Fredericton on the other side of the river. There is quite a bit of parking lot and boat launch ramp under water beyond Cathi&#8217;s silhouette out there. We&#8217;re looking a little bit south of directly west, This was at 4:39 pm today. You can see the snagged branch on the right. The bicycles belong to the young women who were out at the water&#8217;s edge taking selfies, and then scaring a bunch of seagulls into the air to use them as a background for another selfie. We are surrounded by artistic, creative people here. \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8212; And, this is probably enough for today, I haven&#8217;t had a lot to say since my mother went exploring life on the other side of the veil last Friday morning.
