Destination Morrisburg

A few weeks ago, I fancied a change of scenery and so dusted off my Yaris for a little road trip. After driving for a mere three-quarters of an hour, I arrived at my destination. Namely, Morrisburg Marine Park on the Saint Lawrence River! Before the photos from that jaunt get any more stale, I thought I'd better toss them into a post.

 

I drove through Winchester with it's dairy-themed hydro poles.

Entering the county of South Dundas. The fire ban was off that day.

Morrisburg's water tower was having an overhaul.

On the waterfront, a helpful map encourages folk to explore.

The jetty is one of my favourite hangouts.

There were rows of these colourful and very comfortable Adirondack chairs.

I wonder if Dan & Dan is short for Danny and Danielle.

Visitors from Quebec rolled up in these sporty vehicles.

Folk were heeding the social distancing reminders.

A vintage-themed mural adds interest to the Giant Tiger parking lot.

The logo's tiger seems to appreciate the cheery vanity plate message.

After a refreshing and enjoyable hang out at the marina, I took a little stroll up Lakeshore Drive to admire some of Morrisburg's lovely old buildings.

 

A grand old tree that gives the home both shade and privacy.

The lush cover of vines makes me imagine a cool and tranquil interior.

I love the hot colour of those double doors.

Elegant roof crestings decorate many of the 19th century buildings.

Another grand old building with a great view of the river.

 

On the way home, I stopped in to say 'Hi' to my beekeeper friends in Williamsburg. This year they added four new bee colonies to their honey bee population. I like the bright box colours to help returning foragers quickly find their own hives.
