We have left our summer spot…

 

Our Location:

Brantford, Ontario 

I wanted to use my last few fall pics and thought this was a good time to do that.

The ferns are pretty with their
curly leaves, like ringlets.

Porcupines have been feasting.

There is something fascinating about
thistle down.

The last few days were hectic at home, but we managed to get almost everything finished, the rest can be accomplished by phone. It seemed very odd and melancholy in a way to leave the Igloo behind as we drove down the hill for the last time this season. We were also a little sad as we looked back at the Dogsled parked out of the way for the winter but close to dad’s. Goodbyes were said over a couple of days, all of them something I dread but if we want to go that is part of the process.

I love this picture.

Woodpeckers and ants, the tree
never had a chance.

Nor did this one.

A last little bit of colour
before the wind and rain took most of them.

Thursday morning had us very busy, we finally pulled out of Rick’s driveway about 11:30 am heading to Sudbury. We arrived at our motel at about 2:00 pm, said a quick goodbye, first leg of the journey complete. Thanks Rick!

View out the train window.

I brightened the train pics
due to dark tint on the windows.

I enjoyed the views after it became daylight.

It was overcast for most
of the trip.

An overnight stay, early morning taxi ride, 4:15 am, to the Sudbury Junction Train Station for a 4:50 am departure but the train was late. Finally at about 6:20 am we were boarded and on our way. Uneventful, relaxing and scenic, we arrived downtown Toronto at Union Station ahead of the 2:30 pm schedule, climbing off at about 1 pm. Finding our way to the Union Station Bus Terminal easily, we climbed aboard at 3:00 pm, arrived in Brantford about 5:15 pm where we were met by Bradey and the boys.

Riley’s first train ride.

Lots of this kind of scenery.

I love the old pole!

The reflection is fabulous.

We are here at Bradey and David’s until Monday morning, we will then return to Toronto and visit with Courtney for a couple of days. Wednesday night we move to a hotel near the airport to fly out Thursday. We are as ready as we can be to start this new adventure in Mexico.

I do not miss driving in Toronto.

The CN Tower.

All of my unused photos are posted, or at least most of them. I hope enjoyed the last few. Thanks for stopping by.

Until next time….(if there is a next blog)

Take care, stay safe,
