Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour 2
Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour 3
Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour was on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 8. This is the finale! We began just outside Clayton, then headed downtown. I love the maps they publish for the tour, 'Not to scale!' AKA created by artists...You can compare them.
The colours last such a short time. The sumac is amazing, and one of my favourites.
The Closs Fence is typical of the region, where shallow soil precludes deep footings. The Scottish settlers designed, and patented fences.
All this is in the pouring rain, by the way. We had a mild summer drought, so the rain is welcome.
With fall migration, the birdies are gathering in flocks. Most don't sit on the highway, though. That was funny. I'm not sure what they were.
With recent power outages, good to see Hydro working. We've had so many windstorms cutting power.
We weren't sure what was going on here.
We were toured out. Off we went to Almonte, for lunch at the pub. You'll notice the fun family behind JB. The kidlets were adorable. A dad was holding a 2-year-old, wearing the cutest shoes.
As I left the washroom, a white woman left, just before I did. Dad was showing kiddie the river out the window. She was chatting with the family. Then, I heard her say, "Enjoy your visit to Almonte!"
Dad replied, "We live here!"
I snorted!
I have been watching and taking photos of the Enerdu dam rebuild over the years. There was much fearmongering, just like the dam rebuild in Bala (SIGH).
Almonte is a delightful town. It has lots of character, and many characters, lots of festivals, too.
On a slippery, wet day... someone, um, slipped.

Rotten luck for that last car!
I noticed just a brief spell of snow earlier this afternoon.
Shame about that car in the ditch!
Wonderful Autumn colours, I do like this time of year.
All the best Jan
