cruising down the river and checking out Athens

lots of pix from a pleasant long weekend
my birthday and father's day fell together this year
took a nice drive with the pack

east on the Thousand Islands Parkway from Ki ng ston.

(also known as Kingston when you're not trying to be smart about adding links)

the campanula persificolia in its home away from home







Out on the parkway, and then up the road to Athens.





and then there are these enormous dogs (or so Bailey and Cleo would have you think, by their barking)




the excitement was exhausting

Athens. Maple syrup and murals.







Cleo's worn out again.

Bailey will stay alert.



Thank you to the most marvellous Miss Letty for the following comment on our driver and backseat driver ...

Bailey and hamburger in sweet communion,
Driving quietly in that car,
Back seat driver of the best kind,
Following a morning star.


Sweet, sweet face of little Bailey,
Pointed ears and muzzle dark,
Burger's back in stalwart guiding,
For the love of Sirius stark.
