Got the blues?

Blueberries, to be exact...

If you happen to see old men and other random locals hanging about in ditches and elsewhere along the roads these days, don't worry! They're not disposing of evidence, they are picking blueberries:




Now, if only I could persuade one of them to let me take their picture....

Check out my review from last year, I'm fairly confident that the menu will not have changed. In fact, if it has, there'll be hell to pay.

Be prepared for a bit of a wait before you get in. The guy in the ticket booth usually makes up for it with funny comments over the bull horn/speaker.

Here's a tip, don't sweat to the oldies inside the hall. Stake your claim to some of the picnic tables across the road in front of the fire hall, and eat beside the relaxing river in the shade as you sip your Mickey Dee's orange drink....ah, bliss.

Also worth checking out this weekend:

Fireman's Breakfast

Well worth the drive down 'the shore'.

The Islands burns

July 19, 2008

After experiencing the "grand re-enactment" celebrations on the waterfront in Shelburne, I was blessed with this nice 'figure 8' brake burn en route to The Islands Provincial Park:






I missed capturing an incredible set of doughnuts on highway 103 near Liverpool, too bad! I will try to snap a shot of them later on this summer.
