Bird Watching With Bartholomew

I never really know what memories are going to be pulled out of the pile when I dig around for more of these old super 8 films to upload onto this weirdo blog setup. It all falls into place by chance really. Very much like calling out the bingo ball numbers to the old folks at the PNE.

Today, under the letter 'B'... we have Bartholomew. A handful of scenes featuring THEE Bartholomew Woods. Yes, there's a tiny bit of Dan and Paul in here (and Don too, if you know exactly where to look) but it's Bart that hogs the spotlight this time round for sure.

Our visual journey today takes us from Vancouver to Seattle, from Point Grey to Oakridge, and from Little Mountain to Seymour Mountain. We learn in this video that Dan needed a sit-down break during the shooting of the City Hall portion of his most memorable movie role (as Farmer Dan in: 'Farm News') and, perhaps even more surprising, we learn that Bartholomew was, and probably still is, quite the devoted bird watcher/nature lover.
