Walking through the neighbourhoods in Niagara-on-the-Lake this time of year is like being in a Hallmark Christmas movie.

Photographing Public Art Challenge – #19

thanks to Cee for hosting PPAC this week https://ceenphotography.com/2021/10/22/ppac-19/

On a trip today to Guelph we ventured over to the Arboretum. It was just underway when I went to school there, some 50 years ago so many of the trees are now very mature. The colours were beautiful but to my surprise there were numerous and interesting statues and sculptures on the grounds. Here are just a few.

Pull Up a Seat – October 16, 2021

….thanks to XingFu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2021/10/15/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2021-week-42/

Going for a walk through the Lady Eaton Drumlin in Peterborough, next to the university, was beautiful and very much uphill until it was time to come back down. Thank goodness for some rest spots. Although a bit wonky and worn they did the trick.

Last Day of Summer – Sept. 20, 2021

…..enjoying a warm and sunny day at Marie Curtis Park

Today we experienced a nice warm summer day; the last one of the season. Normally this time of year the average temperature is about 20 degrees celsius but we hit 23 and people definitely took advantage of it.

When I arrived at the park school had just dismissed its students and I noticed several children were in the playground and splash pad. Cyclists, senior citizens and dog walkers were also enjoying this great weather.

Good Morning

….I went out early this morning for my walk before it got too hot

I’m glad that I got my walk in early because I don’t do well in the heat. I drove to the Farmers’ Market this afternoon and even that short trip exhausted me.

It was also suppose to rain but it’s now 6:30 and we still don’t have rain. I would love a good thunderstorm about now.
