Sunday to Kingston Harbour

Another daytrip. It was a beautiful day, with the odd tree changing colour.  The clouds are still remnants of the recent hurricane. They dissipated. We had rain this morning, just a smidge.


There are lots of orchards open for apple picking! We didn't stop.


There are stands of sumac with amazing colours.


I saw some swans on a drive-by.


This church is 175 years old, which to some is fairly young, but we are a young country.


The city of Kingston

There are lots of students, soldiers, and lots of runners, especially on a Sunday.


This care puzzled me. We had the green, but they were turning on a red.


The Holiday Inn has a lovely patio. That was our destination.


As well as watching a grackle, there are lots of boats, as well. This is with my videocamera zoom lens.

Lunch

Kingston Harbour

We took a walk along the harbour, there were lots of cormorants, people and boats. We are nearing the end of the season.



The cormorants in the Kingston harbour.





I watched people, while JB took himself off for a non-dairy ice cream cone! He returned with a flourish.


On the road home

I love the restaurant. K-Pop Subsushi. 'Opening soon!' Korean Pop is quite popular, we've seen them on some of our music shows. It's a step up from Backstreet Boys. I'm not sure what it has to do with food, though! Right beside it, a restaurant that offers Indian Cuisine. This is our Canada. A melting pot. I love it! In Perth, we have a new restaurant that offers Lebanese food. Slow progress!

One wonders the stories this house could tell. I think it has had its day.


Then, there are the highway markers. This is Travis (2003 - 2015), who died in a car incident.

The accident took place at the junction of Road 38 and McIvor Road, just north of Hwy. 401. Travis's parents, Jamie and Leanne, were in the car with him. Leanne suffered a hip injury and broken ribs and Jamie was uninjured, but Travis's injuries were more serious and he was rushed to the hospital in critical condition. He was taken off life support the next morning, after his organs were donated.


This is for rock girl!


Snug Harbour Resort, it's lovely! It's on Desert Lake. The river is beautiful.


We liked this gate. The thing is, it's pretty much useless, although maybe it's meant to prevent snow machines in winter!



The campers were pretty much gone! It's a shallow lake, with lots of fishing.


This is Canoe Lake. There were a few locals swimming, but pretty peaceful.



Home again, jiggety jig!

I love Kingston, though it has been more than a few years since we were there. My ex husband lives on Wolf Island so the kids go there quite often. We lived there in the late 70s and used to take them on Ferry Rides for a Sunday afternoon ride.
It's almost time for us to resume our regular Sunday drives now that the weather has turned more pleasant. Looking forward to getting out and taking some photos of the fall splendor.
