Around Dalhousie Lake

After Dalhousie Lake for lunch last Thursday, we took off. Back on Dalhousie Road, the sign said: Teddy Bear Picnic; Rescues Welcome.
I found it a bit creepy!

I'm not sure about this one.


Lovely view, lots of cottages along the north shore.


"The Squeezemore Inn"

Soon, the leaves will be gone.


We drove around the lake. This is a drive-by shooting through JB's window. Followed by the inevitable post-in-the-middle shots. There is an art to it!


Cutting wood for winter!


Back in Perth

This driver was a hoot. We'd got in line at the stop light, to pull up to hang a left  into town, onto highway #7 from 511. Traffic was slow, we were about 10 vehicles back, sitting for 3 lights. Not only that, but the light was really slow to change. We sat, second in line, for a good couple of minutes.
Murphy's Law: she crossed right, into the right turn lane, we were right behind her. She took a right, doing a u-turn, to come back and drive into town. She ended up at the red light. I giggled.


This happens all the time! The Smiths Falls market, a great store, indicates that this is an entrance, not an exit. But who reads signs?

Here is the market, we were following the green arrows, to drive south on William.
This woman deliberately pulled out of the parking lot in front of us, and stopped dead. There was no where for her to go. We had to wait until the light behind us changed, and the cars in front of her pulled through the intersection. I wish people would take Driver's Ed!

It's a nice time of year just to drive around.

Hello, pretty views of the lake and cottages. The teddy bear picnic is strange and cute. I wish drivers would obey the traffic rules. Enjoy your Sunday!

The picnic, do you leave a rescued bear there, or go in and rescue one sitting and waiting? Love the poles and the wee seats. You are in Autumn too, lots of golden leaves. Crazy drivers, they are everywhere.

The teddy bear picnic is quite odd!

We have some drivers here in Hawaii that could use some lessons too. Looks like you've got some fall colors starting.

Amen to the need for more drivers' education.
