A Little Addition

A beautiful old yellow brick house is having some work done.

Another Saturday at the Farmers Market

 

On Saturday mornings, the vendors rest their feet while they can.  Soon it will be busy.

Misty Morning

Down by the ball fields.

 

Look Up

The view at street level is one thing.  Then you look up and it's a whole different city.

 

We Have Cygnets!!!

A family of swans out for a morning stroll.  These little fluff-balls hatched June 8.  There are two more hidden behind Mummy.

I love the neck on the one on the left.....

Things Named York

The York Apartments on the left.  The buildings along York Lane on the right.

 

Stratford War Memorial

Designed by Walter Allward, who also designed the memorial at Vimy Ridge.

Haunting in the early morning light....

 

Camping

Stratford Fairgrounds has a campground. 

It's right inside the city.  It'll close in a few months when the new agriplex opens.

Progress...

Stratford Farmers Market

The Stratford Farmers Market runs every Saturday, year-round.  In the summertime, there's an outdoor market, too.

York Street Kitchen

My favourite place to go for breakfast....

Downtown

 

Old building.  New balcony.

 

Stratford Police Pipe Band

We were out for a walk and heard the pipes. Followed the sound to the parking lot of the Legion Hall.

I clapped when they finished. They seemed surprised.

Soggy

We've had a lot of rain lately.  I decided to leave "sit by the river and dream" on the to-do list for another day....

The Festival Theatre

The Stratford Festival Theatre from the soccer grounds in front of it.  I love the juxtaposition of high culture and sweaty sport.  I love that they co-exist in this town so cheerfully.

On The Avon River

The Avon River runs through the middle of Stratford.  It attracts a lot of waterfowl.

York Street

Looking at the shops and fire-escapes along York Street.

These used to be the back doors of businesses along the busier Ontario Street. But through the years, storefronts and restaurants have moved in. It's now a thriving shopping area all on its own.

Dinner With The Proper Stranger

Dinner on the patio at Bentley's the other night.

Sat across from this lovely man.

Sixty Four

Downtown, early evening. I especially like the bird sitting on top of the arch.

And I'm very pleased to have been accepted by City Daily Photo! If you've clicked over from there, welcome! I hope you enjoy my pictures!

Rundles

The gardens in front of Rundles Restaurant.

The Bridge to Tom Patterson Island

I took this picture a few years back. Thankfully, it still looks like this.
