Trip to and from Kingston

We'd driven Aug. 11th  to Kingston to visit with Jordan. Our Kingston trip! Joe drives, as the pressure to take photos is too much for him! I am in charge of the photography, mostly from the window. I love the scenery. The big bales of hay in the fields. the clouds, the water. Seeing as it won't be too long before winter sets in, let us celebrate summer!

Heading for Kingston: Rideau Ferry marina:



I like to take photos, but sometimes I shudder. He was standing up, no visible life jacket, casting into the water. 


This always makes me laugh, 'Red Neck Air Force.'

These Panicle Hydrangea are always impressive. 


Wild Grape ivy has taken over the barn.

The bane of Joe's existence... he loathes traffic circles! Is there anything trickier?! 



Hay for winter!



A large farming operation... always impresses.





We headed home...


Whoopsie! Busted.



The clouds began to build.






Yes, a bit of rain fell:

Then it cleared up.

Our local farm, Millers Bay. They have fresh produce galore.

I also loathe traffic circles. They are taking about putting one in here. I hope they don’t.

It looks like a gorgeous day for your ride -- and passing through lots of really lovely places, too!

You do well shooting from a moving vehicle.

Beautiful photos! Wide open country, did you stop for produce?

Interesting photos of your local area. We have plenty of roadworks and road cones here too. What is that interesting looking red structure on the water, a boat taking a ferry ride perhaps?

Thank you for sharing the pictures. I like seeing where others live. it's nice to be able to see that without having to travel. I love the cloud shots.

Nice trip. I hate traffice circles too. and our suburb is installing lots of them. It's Kansas; we're all flat and can see where we're going! Then they put tall plants or artwork in the middle, so we can't see around the circle! Linda

It's a dredger, keeping the passages clean!
