Thirty Mile Creek cascades

this area had some kind of big storm damage

we walked between vineyards

this vineyard looked very inviting for a visit

a hawk was screeching 

we had a few pieces of road

It was time to stop, it was starting to rain

Flower beds

Rien and I put some mulch on the flower beds

Dutch AG students

4 agriculture students who did a co-op in the USA went to visit their classmates in Ontario

they came to our place for the sole reason that one of them has the same last name then we do

If was fun

Firewood

It's that time of year again

So Many Grapes

started this on Monday

hope it will become wine

picked a lot more grapes to make a real big batch

Day 2 Niagra

Day 2 Anita joined us for the first 10 km

never before did we pass a Tim Hortons on the trail 

this section had way more streets then usual

the reason why we walked more streets was likely because

we crossed quite a few roads and Locks

2 series of locks that are not in use anymore

and also locks that are still in use

 This rail bridge went down but we didn't see a train on it

Using the self-timer

These old locks are not very solid anymore in places

this looked like a very insignificant lift

here much more of a change

we walked for a while beside a golf course 

escarpment club, we saw a few golf balls

and some other ball like fruits

so many black walnut trees here, 

we saw the seeds everywhere

this is one of the best views along the escarpment

close to Brock University

Day 1 Niagra

Niagra area first 15 km

strange shoe tree

not hanging my boots on it yet

It is harvest time, so many vineyards 

screaming tunnel

footbridge over QEW

very nice hike

ending up at the southern cairn  

close to the Niagra river

visit Jaap and Pauline

we don't see each other nearly enough
