For the Weekend
 |
| Along Otter Creek |
The boats are gone. Most likely rowed beautifully to the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum where the creek meets open lake waters.
Visiting the falls park in Vergennes is a treat year round, but especially in the summer when folks picnic, fish, go boating, walk dogs, walk the path, and just take in lovely nature and community.
For artists, there is docking for boats that visit each summer, sail and motor boats, wonderful painting and photography subjects. Whenever possible, ask the boater for permission to paint or photograph.
Boat people as they are called locally, are very welcome here.

ReplyDeletegreat ideas for strawberries- I love strawberries too
Kathy,
ReplyDeleteEarlier was nice weather with only a tiny amount of humidity. As the day goes on, the moisture in the air becomes uncomfortable. Meanwhile, thunder rumbling but no rain yet.
A pleasant view.
ReplyDeleteWilliam,
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely and cool spot in the shade.
Beautiful photo of the creek ~

Carol, the morning there was ideal, people around and good weather.
ReplyDeleteWe used to see a lot of boats going up and down on the river just outside our building but not so many the past couple of years. I suspect gas prices have a lot to do with that, coupled with the fact that there's no reason for them to stop here. Our 'town fathers' have no foresight into creating an attractive stopping point and block any attempts to do anything. Then they cry in their beer because the tourist dollars are down. Hopefully the weather will warm up and attract a few of them (the boats, not the idiot bureaucrats)
ReplyDeleteMaryanne,
ReplyDeleteA shuttle bus here use to transport boat people to grocery stores. I'm not sure what service is available now.
With the pandemic overish, I hope our summers both have more tourists.
A lovely photograph.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Thank you, Jan
ReplyDeleteLovely place to visit
