These are some drive-by photos on our way home from the Beckwith Heritage Festival. It was a busy day beginning with the Rideau Lakes Cycle Tour on Saturday, June 11th.
I like Pop's Cannabis sign: "BEST JOINT IN TOWN!" The figures in the next photo amuse me, I don't know where they came from, or what they are, but the owl and eagle are quite something. Smiths Falls is under construction. Downtown is quite the mess.
The last photo, above, is a creative patio for the pub. It caught my attention.
Rideau Ferry bridge is getting a rehabilitation, with one lane of traffic only. It is lovely stopping at the light on this side of the bridge: you can look out into the Big Rideau!
If you click on the above photo, you'll see that they wrote on the black covering, 'no jumping!' Lots of kids jump off the bridge for fun in summer.
We made it to CC's for lunch. This is our first restaurant meal since the fall. Lots of people were out and about using various means of transportation.
When we were stopped at the bridge, I could see the geese and goslings.
They turned up when we were waiting for our meals!

The geese are such attentive parents.
We have a saying in Michigan: It's either Winter of In Construction. I wonder if you might not have the same one?!
Beautiful pics, though construction isn't that pretty. Loved the goslings! So glad you went out to eat. What did you have, I wonder!
...Pop's Cannabis sign: "BEST JOINT IN TOWN" is clever!
I still haven't been in a restaurant since last fall either. Have been out on a patio though.
What a cool way to create some patio space!

Even allowing for all the maintenance works, a fine trip out! YAM xx
Thank you for this beautiful photo journey. Lunch out? It ha been a long, long time here...
Momma, Poppa, and 6 goslings safely in-between. Lovely views of all various waters that are so close for you.Hope the lunch was yummy.
We have shelters like that in downtown Tulsa. The city let businesses do it during worst part of covid.
So lovely to have a day out ...
Love the goslings, so cute.
All the best Jan
I go to the coffee shop once a week but Mrs. F.G. Is still cautious about restaurants.
Sweet day
It is fashionable to renovate downtowns this summer. It is also happening in CP and Almonte.
It's a long time since I was in Smiths Falls. I should take the long route when I visit my daughter in Ottawa and pay a visit. We have friends buried in the cemetery there.
seems you had a great day out :)
