THUNDER BAY – Despite a pandemic that has wreaked havoc on the global economy, the Port of Thunder Bay is reporting strong numbers, topping those from 2019.
Total shipping volumes as of the end of May are over 20 per cent higher than at the same point last year.
That’s largely down to a boom in grain shipments. Nearly 2.4 million metric tonnes of grain had moved through the port, about a 35 per cent increase from 2019.
“A lot of the business has dwindled for import/export on the ocean, grain being the exception,” Heney said. “So a lot of them are coming all the way up to Thunder Bay for [grain] to go back to Europe. That’s probably the most unusual phenomenon we’ve seen, the increase in ocean traffic.
There has been strong demand for durum wheat, used to make pasta.

This was the weekend of the Strawberry Moon. I prepared myself to get a photo of this moon by placing a chair in an ideal
location, looked on the computer to find the time of the moonrise and what direction, laid my camera out on the patio table.
I was prepared for a moon shot. I waited and waited for the moon to show. Never happened. I did see clouds drifting by on
the prevailing breeze. All I got for my efforts was a Grackle preparing to take flight from the roof of my house and then only a
near silhouette before the clouds rolled in. Reminds the best laid plans sometime never happen.
So long, good bye, it's been good to know ya.

Unless you have a real good telephoto lens, the moon is a disappointing subject.

This bush is one of our dogs favorite places to "stop." This photo was actually taken a few years ago. There was a car fire next to the bush year before last and it hasn't completely recovered yet. It was better this year but not quite back to it's completely full bloom beauty.
