On the Madawaska

We have been to Burnstown a few times but never to their beach. In fact, we didn't even know about it until recently. We wanted a little outing, and from what we learned this new-to-us spot seemed appealing. It was about a 45 minute drive to the lovely Madawaska River. We sat in the park, consumed coffee and sandwiches, and enjoyed the view.



And, just for a change, we took a selfie.


Then, we took a different selfie. I actually moved, so we could get our two heads at about the same size. Sue held my phone while I activated it from my watch. I had a countdown of three to hide the watch and recompose. I think that is what caused the general hilarity.

It looks if you have found a lovely spot for some quiet time. I was sorry to read from your weekend post that you lost a good friend. How lovely to honour them with a quiet think about them. Hopefully we'll see more from the Madawaska River site.

What a lovely pair you are, and a great day with fluffy clouds in blue sky and friendly sunshine...though you all chose the shady side of things.

It is a lovely river.

A great time of year to be visiting our magnificent rivers. I think we will be visiting the Mad in the next couple of weeks.

Well worth the drive for the views! Love the selfies. I struggle with them myself-I grimace, my eyes get very big and they're always too close up of my wrinkles. Yours are good!

Such a beautiful spot for a picnic! You guys and your selfie’s always make me smile.

What a good idea to take a selfie! I get confused between the Madawaska and the Matawa.

I always love the photos where fun and love just burst out of them. That last one certainly has plenty of that.
