David

Ladies and Gentlemen please meet David, he is the official mascot of Fort Henry. A historic fort that looks over Lake Ontario and the mouth of the St. Lawrence River.

I met him this weekend when I visited Prince Edward County (as isthmus on the northern shore of Lake Ontario), Kingston a historic city that is home of one of Canada's best universities and Gananoque, Canada's gateway to Canada's thousand island region.

He was more interested in eating clover than saying hello to us.

Here are some snaps I took on the week-end.

Below are photos from the Thousand Island region of the St. Lawrence River.

Up to four years ago, I spent much of my time in this region as I was lucky enough to be with a man who had two boats and a house on the shores of this river. It was not only a week-end of relaxation, but also of wonderful reflection from days gone by.

In a few weeks I'll be coming back to Prince Edward County for camping (hopefully if my holidays come thru). A couple of weeks ago it was officially declared a designated wine region and I have a map of where the vinyards are. I think I'll have to go shopping when I'm up there and share the goods with my wine-loving friends ;-)
