Another drive: to Brockville

Wed., Sept. 26th

A lovely day to get out of the house and drive. It rained on and off all day! We were headed to Cornwall to buy some goldfish. It's a couple of hours there, and 154 km. What the heck.

 

The clouds were pretty, changing even as you watched.


My usual post in the drive-by photo!


Hubby loves these porches.


After our tornadoes, so many worked so hard!


It's Autumn!

An artist's studio.


I've never seen barriers with plexiglass in them! This is along the #401, intended to protect the houses from noise.



Don't you love these signs? They draw your attention away from the road, though! I'm just sayin'!


A heron rookery, which has done its duty for the summer.


Southeastern Ontario Farms... with a dairy industry that doesn't have hormones. Nothing personal, USA #45, but no, we don't need your dairy products, and no, we haven't "taken advantage of" you, and your goods and services. Minister Freeland is doing a fantastic job. "Competence and honesty, in our elected leaders, matters." she said to her conference of female foreign ministers.


Stratocumulus undulatus clouds.


I would love a swing set like this! It's beautiful!
From here, CR2, we went to Long Sault for lunch, then, finally, Cornwall.

A good drive, rain on and off.
It was successful: We have new fishies!

Quite a drive!

I have seen some of the barriers on the 417 in the city have those panels that are see through. I think when they replace a section now that might be the go-to for it.
