I love Perth. I met my friend for lunch last month, hadn't seen her in years. She told me she doesn't like our town. Too bad! It's not the sort of thing you like to hear. I won't be seeing her again, anyway. A lot of people LIKE to come out to cottage country. No matter.
I quite like this view. The water tower in the setting sun. It was not light balanced in the 2nd photo. Ah well. I just have fun with this hobby.
The band plays two Thursdays a month in season. They rehearse in the town hall.
JB had a chat with Steve prior to the concert. The gardens are lovely.
It is a crescent, and a couple of cars, and two motorcycle, realized they shouldn't drive by and disrupt the concert. They kindly took a quick turn, and chose to not drive back.
Sadly, another crude dude in a red truck with 'McFarlane' on it, roared up the far side, then gunned the motor just as he was passing by. His passenger was laughing. You just must shake your head. They were roaring through town for an hour, but didn't come back.
They were pretty good! There was a good crowd, many with chairs. They played a nice collection of pieces.
The Perth Citizens’ Band is the longest continuous running Town Band in Canada dating back to 1852.
We sat on a picnic table bench. There were maple keys on the table!
This is where the Perth Dry Stone Bridge is, on the other side of the creek, under the bridge, where the kids were playing. I didn't want to take their photos. The water was high in the spring.
We ambled down to the far end of the park, and back.
There was a water snake in the creek, that a family was watching. That's joe pye weed on the left.
It was minding its own business, ignoring gawking two-legged ones, and a yappy dog!

Hello, Great series! I love the band stand and the bridge. Neat sighting of the snake. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week ahead.
Nice way to spend an evening.
You will notice a big difference when you get your cataracts done. I'm just waiting for my second laser treatment to get rid of the cloudiness in my eyes, happens to about 25% of people that have cataract surgery. A very simple procedure and what an amazing difference. I thought my camera lens wasn't focusing properly, but it was my eyes.
Those high tonal range photos are driving me crazy lately. I am having trouble with them. Our camera sensors aren't nearly as good as our eyes.
Lovely final two photos, the big furry dog, and night driving, those cataracts are a real problem, I don't drive at all now, even in the daytime.

There is something restorative about being out on a balmy summer's night... YAM xx
That's a great picture of you -- even with the green thing on your nose.
I feel your pain. I can't drive at night anymore either. Kind of puts a halt to my various activities that I used to enjoy, which only meet at night. And if we go to a dinner function, himself can't have a drink. Not a glass of wine or a single beer. He's very conscientious about drinking and driving.
Park picnic and Band music - great combination!
You look radiant in the blue top photo!
Looks like you had a good tour but not much band!
Your last shot is my favourite of the set.
