North Frontenac Studio Tour: Part 2

North Frontenac Studio Tour: the prep

Here is part 2, from Tay Valley along highway #7 on our way to Ardoch. Just flip through them, if you wish. I like to look back, and Joe was the driver, so he didn't see much of it!

'Drive according to road conditions,' is the suggestion! 

This is Tay Valley, I really like this spot. 

I zoomed in to show the bridge.

The trees and the signage!

The sumac was the highlight of the trip.

Hay! While they harvest this at least a couple of times in summer, this feels iconic, and an end-of-season image.

I texted this photo to Caitlin, who is a hydrogeologist, as we all like rocks!

This is a favourite section along highway #7. The highway runs along the river/wetland. The water is incredibly low. 

This photo really shows the low water, with the clean pink rock, normally underwater.

Here we are in North Frontenac. It was a bit of a drive.

Nice watch for reptile signage:

I like rocks!    

 Mazinaw Lanark Forest in Cloyne. It's worth reading about. Seeing the view from the top of the hill was amazing. 

Water bombers and drones do not mix

 We can be such victims of floods and fires. Unfortunately, humans often contribute to this. I was happy to read the headlines, after this arrogant twerp caused so much damage. He was a professional, and should have known better. The plane was leased from Quebec, to fight the LA fires. Aside from repairs, simply repainting the plane costs $56,000 and time away from fires.

Speaking of drones... There are incursions around the world...
