Victoria weekend.

This past weekend we went to Point Pelee National Park. It has been on our bucket list since arriving in Ottawa many years ago. Every May the bird migration happens and thousands of birds arrive on the southern shores of Canada to spend the warmer months here. For birdwatchers it is an awesome experience, for the photograhers heaven on earth!

The point, the currents here are treacherous and no one is allowed to the end for good reason.
It is neat, to think we have been to the southern most tip of Africa and Canada. It was an amazing experience, we arrived back home with great memories, sore feet. We walked and craned our necks to see and spot birds, they were every colour of rainbow. A feast for the eyes.
The old homestead, saw a sewing machine inside throughthe window.
One the way we stopped at the local quilt shop, A Stitch in Time.
Fleece was chosen for hats for next winter that the guys want me to make. Bosal foam for straps and and other bits and pieces. A few fabrics which caught my eye, especially the acorn fabric.
