I can't resist this stuff. It's my weakness. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Sunflower

This one is having a good growing season.

Tractor Retirement

This old tractor has been retired to a children's playground.

Relic From The Past

Located in Tyrone, Ontario The building is a former hotel that dates back to 1835. In 1894 the Byams bought the hotel and converted it into a general store by adding the verandah and the shop in the front. The Byam family operated the store until it closed in 2003.

Fenelon Falls

This gent just looked up as I snapped the photo. I thought he was quite brave standing on the wall that has a considerable drop to the fast running waters below. The falls are located in the middle of The Town of Fenelon Falls, Ontario. It has a height 5 metres and a crest of 30 meters. The river is part of the Trent-Severn Waterway. There is a dam on the other side of the bridge. At certain time of the day the water is diverted for electric power generation. When that happens about half of the falls will be dry. I'm Linking to Weekly Top Shot.

Mermaid

If only they had been paying attention they would have had the catch of the day.

Boats & Flowers

Between a yacht and a sailboat.

Rain Hawk

Yesterday evening heavy rain and strong winds past through my area. The most interesting thing I spotted during the storm was this hawk sitting on the fence in my backyard. Take a close look at her claws and you will see what is left of a squirrel that was her catch of the day.

After demolishing the meal it's rest time. She is not one bit concerned of about the weather around her.

A little stretching exercise.

This was the last I saw of her before she took off.

Fishing

One thing I like about fishing, is that while you are sitting there,
the world of nature puts on a great show of activity for you to watch.

This Old House

Old stone houses are like a magnet to me and my camera.

Weather

Weather for today. Sun cloud mix.

Mailbox - Avro Arrow

The owner of Model "A" Acres Bed & Breakfast has a passion for old cars and old airplanes. The model of the Avro Arrow seen on the mailbox is an icon from Canada's past. In the 1950's the plane was a hyper sonic fighter being developed with funds from the Canadian Government. It could reach a speed nearly three times the speed of sound and travel at an altitude of 60,000 feet. After the first successful flight the plane was scrapped by the federal government in a decision that remains controversial to this day. You can find out more about the Avro Arrow here. You can view my previous post of Model "A" Acres here.

CN Tower

The structure reflecting on the left side is the CN Tower. Located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada it is the tallest structure in the city. It stands at 553 metres or 1,814 feet. With Prince William and Princess Kate expecting a royal baby any day, there a unique plan for the tower when the baby is born. If it's a girl, the tower will be lit up in pink. If it is a boy, it will be lit up in blue. It should be quite the sight to see.

Popcorn, Candy

Ceremonies are allotted a 90 minute time frame, and photographs are allotted a 45 minute time frame.

Signs, Signs - Cake

At first it was the colours that attracted me to photograph this sign. Later on it dawned on me that it was really the challenge that Lesley presents on her weekly meme. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Graffiti

Located in a neighbourhood where you can get a free paint job without even asking for one.

Ferris Wheel

Curiosity And The Cat

They say curiosity killed the cat. In this case it gave Jack the cat a spot on my blog.

Independence Day July 4th ★★★

It's party time. Today is America's birthday. If you travel for about twenty miles in the direction that I am pointing you will come to the border between Canada and The United States Of America. Located in the middle of Lake Ontario you will not notice you have reached it. There are no markers or checkpoints. You need to travel another eighteen miles or so before landfall. On this day, July 4, in 1776, Americans declared their independence from Britain.

Signs, Signs - Burrito

I wonder if this was their first choice of names for the business. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Ted Henry's Tree

I have decided to turn the tree on the right into a photo project. I am going to return a various times throughout the year and photograph the different stages of this memorial tree.

This memorial stone explains why I am calling it Ted Henry's tree.
