The Accidental Tourist

A funny thing happened on my way to Niagara.............I got lost!!! Yes, ashamed to admit it but as they say things happen for a reason. The more I zigged the more I zagged. The more I zagged the more I stumbled. The more I stumbled the more I discovered! Here is a day in the life of an accidental tourist!

This lovely creature was happily grazing as I drove by. I screeched to a halt and reversed to take a picture. I couldn't resist getting out of the car. As I approached the fence Blondie (that's what I've named her) sauntered over to me and I was greeted with a large snout happily staring, leaning towards me.

Baby Vines!


Teenagers!


A reminder of our historical past, present and future


I cannot resist a dog doing what dogs do best. I love seeing dogs lying on the grass. They just seem so at ease and in their element.



I met this lovely man and his dog on my way (when I finally got back on track) to Rosewood Estates Winery (that's the next blog). This is Victor with his 4 month old german shepherd puppy named Marty! We had an extremely delightful conversation.


There were other horses with Blondie that day and as she approached me
their curiosity was aroused and so they too toddled on up to say hello.


What I won't do for a photo! I attempted to jump a bit of a gully and well you see the results. Clay soil. Where am I in Niagara?


Under construction. Going to be living large in Niagara. Note to self!


As I approached a 4 way stop this place was on the corner with this giant giraffe overseeing the intersection. Quite the welding project. It actually was wonderful to see.


If only I'd have gotten the eyes. Darn!


Actually living large in Niagara. NOTE TO SELF AGAIN!


The Niagara Escarpment (I think). Beautiful isn't it!


Polyculture in Niagara. Cherry trees.
Is that the Beamsville Bench in the background?

Speaks for itself.

More of our History. The home of Laura Secord.


More Laura Secord. This is the front of her home.

I did eventually get on track but I am so glad I stumbled all the way back. It was a great day. It's good to stumble sometimes.
Cheers
