More Summer Adventures - Catchup Post

 Me (left) and Betrice

Well I haven't gone far in terms of distance this summer but I've been definately having some adventures with great friends!  On Thursday August 2nd I hopped in my trusty little red Kia (which I love!) and drove down to Brighton to visit with Beatrice and to visit the Thrusday Stitchers with her over at Knowledge and Needles.

That evening we had a lovely dinner on the shores of Lake Ontario with Angie at the Harbourfront Cafe.  Excellent view, food and company!

 Go Dragonboaters Go!!!

 The great view from our table on the patio

Friday was a beautiful and hot day so Beatrice and I packed up a picknick lunch and went to Presqu'ile Provinical Park for the afternoon.  We went for a walk along the boardwalk through the marsh/wetlands and a bit of lunch on the beach.  I of course had my camera with me!  Here is a taste of how beautiful this park is.

 The fantastic Marsh Boardwalk

I LOVE waterlillies

It was pretty hot for the birds but the dragonflies where about

Spiderwebs

No wetland is complete without bullrushes

 Me - taking pictures

Warning, non-flattering picture, I'm seated on one of the "horse trees" they grow this way!
