North Frontenac Studio Tour: the prep

 We had a plan, to visit the North Frontenac Studio Tour. We had a family meeting, after Joe researched the various locations and artisans on the tour. I love maps created by artistic people. They aren't to scale, it's a bit of a crap shoot, as distances aren't exact! 

It was good to get out, see the leaves, and the lovely work the artisans do. Besides all that is going on in the world, we've a chimney and deck to be repaired. We couldn't listen to the news, as we'd taped the women's rugby game. 

We had to prune the list, as this was a long drive, concentrating on the right-hand section.


I went to Google on my laptop, then sent the link to my phone.


I have issues reading the Google Maps App, as well as navigating it. One click and everything disappears, or a new app comes up! Our old, outdated GPS (AKA Gillian) helped some. 

There was a problem, as the bright clouds messed up the photos. 
Using the AI tools, I managed to get rid of those horrid Hydro lines. 
Perth was spectacular for colours!

The red roof compliments the maple trees!







Red asked for more leaves, so here you are. There is more to come. It's such a short and iffy season. I was worried our drought would affect it, not so.

...Jenn, you do more planning than I do, I just wing it.

I love the Google Maps app which hooks up with The Grey's onboard system and, despite two or three 'interesting' backroads, it has kept us well directed. Had to beat all that autumn colour, though it's starting to look quite pretty over this way too. YAM xx

You have so much colour. Really none here.

Your color is fantastic! I can't wait to see more from your excursion -- it sounds terrific.

I like to have a map. I still keep an atlas in the trunk in case the old GPS or iPhone get lost. Absolutely beautiful leaves.

Nothing like a little tour to get lots of excellent photos.

That's pretty cool. I think our area has something like this too though I've never explored it. Perhaps I can now.
