Port Dover 2011

Flowers in Paris
Grand River Abstract
Mike and I were on the road again.  We decided to go to Port Dover which is on Lake Erie: we hadn't been there at all this summer and I was wanting the perch dinner.  We made a couple of stops along the way so that I could take some pictures to document our day.  When we got to "Dover" we went immediately to the restaurant and got a pitcher of beer and for our appetizer we got bake brie with roasted garlic. MMMMM it was so good.  The beer was going down great so we got another pitcher and ordered our perch dinners. As we ate we enjoyed the waves lapping against the shore and the children playing in the water. After dinner we went for a walk along the pier, had an ice cream and waited for the sun to set as I wanted some pictures of the sun setting over the lake.  Enjoy the pictures.

Fall Is Coming

Mike and I went for a nice walk today on one of the local trails.  It was cool today, 15 degrees celius compared to the 32 degrees celcius of two days ago not including the wicked humidity.  It reminded me that Fall is on its way, and that my favourite season of the year is coming ( besides Christmas).  I thought I would post a few shots from last fall that showcase the beautiful colors that will soon be upon us.  The shots were taken at the Guelph Arboretum in the fall of 2010.  It is a beautiful place and I still remember that on this particular day the Guelph Gryphons University football team was playing and while I was walking and capturning my shots I could here the fans cheering.  A perfect fall day.  Football and the amazing fall foliage.  Enjoy......
