Good Morning!!  A cloudy good day to you!

Sunrise in Peterborough, ON looking across Little Lake

Momma and her ducklings swimming away from me

Peterborough Marina is a busy marina.  It caters to the varied sizes of transient boats, little boats, and little house boats.  All together floating in harmony.

Morning quiet at Peterborough Marina

Little House boats

I couldn’t tell if these were rentals or owned and permanently moored at the marina for the season.  They look so cute.  I imagine they are about as big as our tent trailer.  Big enough for several people to sleep in if you fold down the table and cushions, etc.  In front of the house boats were several tables, umbrellas, and a BBQ setup.  Looks like a permanent place to me!  No where else at the marina is such a wide spot for tables and chairs.

Picnic area for the house boats

Adjacent to the marina is the Del Crary Park which has MusicFest twice a week in the amphitheater.  Here is the empty stage during the early morning.  A free concert for the local community.  Hannah Georgas (Indie Pop singer) is the Saturday night entertainer.

Concert Stage

Ok, ok, ok.  I will let you know.  I was completely distracted Saturday night and didn’t get a photo of a filled field of people for this open air concert.  We had a “Looper Docktail” at the Harbor Host’s boat and then a Looper commandeered a picnic table for us to all gather around later.  We chatted during the evening entertainment.  OK music for an old fart like me but after awhile all her songs sounded the same.  ( No, Neil Diamond’s songs do NOT all sound the same!! as a Looper suggested.)  The amazing thing was folks came to the park all day and into the start of the performance.  They brought their chairs, blankets, and picnics to enjoy an evening on the grounds.  Very nice to see families together.

I found a plaque dedicating the stage to Fred Anderson…

Over the weekend when I ventured around the small town I saw several monuments or sculptures discreetly hidden behind bushes and trees.  You had to wander around the foot paths to see them.  Very nicely done.

Tribute to FireFighters

Pull that barge!! – to all the men and women working the Trent-Severn Canal

Garden plots all around.  Flowers all in bloom.

Discovered the Canadian Post Office Box!! – These really get your attention, don’t they!

Green and Red Channel Markers with a Propeller – to remind us to stay in the channel!!

Apple Trees! – apples were still too small and green for picking

Dark brown squirrel in the early morning.  I tried to get closer but these squirrels really don’t like humans.  Which is a good thing, I think.  I certainly wouldn’t want one of these to follow me around like the ducks do.

An evening of red smokey clouds filled the skies.  Rather pretty.
