First Picnic

Oh my! With summer half gone, we hadn't had our first picnic yet! Among other things, I think the weather has to shoulder a major share of the blame.

Whatever! It was time to remedy that sorry situations by visiting Tims and then taking coffee and sandwiches to our favourite spot, right new our favourite tee. I think it's everyone's favourite tree, which is here in this shot.



That shot was looking upriver from where we sat. Here is a downriver shot. Sue is off to the right.



Across the river was a line of seagulls — for awhile anyway.



Then, the paddlers came, mostly kids from the canoe club daycamp not very far downstream.





We stayed for about an hour and a half, reading and gazing for awhile after eating. There were others enjoying the day.



It was good to get out and enjoy a very fine summer's day in this grand little park in this fine little town..
