Around Dalhousie Lake

After Dalhousie Lake for lunch last Thursday, we took off. Back on Dalhousie Road, the sign said: Teddy Bear Picnic; Rescues Welcome.
I found it a bit creepy!

I'm not sure about this one.

Lovely view, lots of cottages along the north shore.


"The Squeezemore Inn"

Soon, the leaves will be gone.


We drove around the lake. This is a drive-by shooting through JB's window. Followed by the inevitable post-in-the-middle shots. There is an art to it!


Cutting wood for winter!

Back in Perth

This driver was a hoot. We'd got in line at the stop light, to pull up to hang a left  into town, onto highway #7 from 511. Traffic was slow, we were about 10 vehicles back, sitting for 3 lights. Not only that, but the light was really slow to change. We sat, second in line, for a good couple of minutes.
Murphy's Law: she crossed right, into the right turn lane, we were right behind her. She took a right, doing a u-turn, to come back and drive into town. She ended up at the red light. I giggled.


This happens all the time! The Smiths Falls market, a great store, indicates that this is an entrance, not an exit. But who reads signs?

Here is the market, we were following the green arrows, to drive south on William.

This woman deliberately pulled out of the parking lot in front of us, and stopped dead. There was no where for her to go. We had to wait until the light behind us changed, and the cars in front of her pulled through the intersection. I wish people would take Driver's Ed!

Dalhousie Lake

Off we went for another drive. I'd had some chest pains in the night, from high blood pressure, insomnia for several hours, a cat fight that woke me up. Thankfully, my client cancelled the next morning.
What a great way to depressurize, as long as I kill all that mind chatter in my head!


Pulling up to the train track, we were all excited. JB likes trains. Then the lights went off, the arms lifted. No train. We approached the track.


Nothing to the right. 

A stopped train to our left. Yikes.


We carried on, up to Kiwi Gardens. They were having a delivery. Whew! This was a masterful job. I thought he was in the ditch.


I look at all that sand in the quarry, and can feel it between my toes.


We made it. We saw the Chinese food on the menu, in both Chinese characters and English, and weren't sure what was up. What we didn't know is that after being for sale for 3 years, it was sold to an Asian man who, until a year ago, only spoke Mandarin. I love this country!
It's a big complex, with motor homes, and cabins.
We had chicken fingers, which were moist and yummy. They have buffets on the weekend. Of the three couples there, two were from Perth. We should have had some Chinese food!


Just to tease me This butterfly landed right beside me, on the ground, then flew away. I only managed to use three of my Monarch stickers.


It's a lovely lake, the river dekes under the bridge. Very shallow. There were some mergansers preening.

Dalhousie Lake for Lunch

After our visit to Sundance (I'm not posting photos in sequence!), we drove without a destination. We ended up at Dalhousie Lake for lunch.



This was a double-take! We had to go back and check it out!
