Gardens

This garden is in Manotick, where we stopped for breakfast on the drive to Upper Canada Village.

This is a random photo of a vegetable garden at the Village,

while this is a formal garden in front of the grandest house in the place.

This is the view from another porch we sat on during a heavier period of rain. You can see the St. Lawrence in the distance.

Pioneer Memorial

Beside Upper Canada Village is the Pioneer Memorial.

It, and the Village, were built to preserve some of the history that was about to be flooded.

All the little church graveyards and family plots had to be moved, and these long walls are the result. I do not know if the bones were moved as well, or if they are still at the bottom of the river.

Skywatch Friday

We took a daytrip to Morrisburg, site of this memorial to the Battle of Crysler's Farm, one of the decisive battles of the War of 1812.

The cannons are aimed toward the state of New York.

The actual battlesite has been flooded by the St. Lawrence Seaway.
