Any old iron??

I saw this collection outside an antique store in Sacket Harbour USA. The label on the stove says " New Perfection No 2" -- but the 2 on the label is an upside down 5 :-)

Reflections

Kingston. Ontario.

Just west of Gananoque is Kingston. We had supper there at "Brandees" complete with "The Change". It was a very welcome change believe me :-)

Engine # 1095. I wonder what its history is??

1000 Islands Salad Dressing

1000 Islands Salad Dressing is widely thought to have been named after this scenic area.
A popular story has it that the chef of Boldt Castle dreamed up the concoction for a special dinner hosted by George Boldt and his wife for their many guests. When served, it was met with great success, and good 'ole George took it from there.

Boldt Castle. USA. We didn't stop.
Boldt Castle. USA. One man's folly!!

Cruising the 1000 Islands

A borderline case. (enlarge the shot and look at the bridge)

Hot Rod day at Clayton USA

Views from the "Skydeck" in 1000 Islands

We had a lot of humidity that day, so the mist and haze came with it.

Gananoque

Colonel Joel Stone, who served with Loyalist militia during the American Revolutionary War, established a settlement on this site in 1789. Land was granted to Col. Stone for use as a mill site.
During the War of 1812, American forces raided the government depot in the town to disrupt the flow of British supplies between Kingston and Montreal. The stores seized consisted of half an ox, a few straw ticks, and a few blankets. The raiders seized the supplies they found and burned the depot.
Mrs. Stone reportedly protected her jewels from the invaders by hiding them in the flour at the mill.

Within a month of the raid construction of the Gananoque Blockhouse was begun, with completion in 1813. It had an octagonal log parapet containing five guns. The blockhouse was abandoned after the War of 1812 and given to a private landowner.

We stayed here in a B+B the other weekend. This was the view from our window. overlooking the cruise boat dock and the St Lawrence River.

Sometimes you have to get down there to see things clearly.

Lots of Berries

There's loads of berries on the Boston Ivy this year. I'm not sure what that's a sign of.

I think I'd prefer this shot with a different background :-) but people have to work, right?

Purple Loosestrife

A very pretty plant that smothers everything around it. It spreads rapidly and is very difficult to remove. Check out this link for the full story, it'll surprise you ......... http://www.ducks.ca/purple/
