It’s time for the mid-summer link up for Rinda’s scavenger hunt. I’m nearly finished and you can find my previous posts here, here, and here. Last week, I got one of the three final photos: border. Actually I got a lot of different shots as we waited on the bridge to get into Canada.
Here’s the official Boundary Sign about three-quarters of the way across the bridge.
We frequently have a long wait to get back into the states, but this was an unusual sight approaching Canada, espcially on a Thursday morning.
There was a slight drizzle that morning and you can see the raindrops on the window. The U.S. flag was flying at half-staff in honor of the victims in the horrible Aurora shooting.
We got out our passports as we approached the inspection booth. The bright red cover was given to me by a friend for my birthday one year. We travel to Canada together at least twice a year.
And finally, the welcome sign once we were through the inspection station.
We were on our way to Niagara-on-the-Lake for the day. My brother was visiting and had never been there. We knew he’d like the Irish Harp for lunch, and we visited some of our favorite wineries. We both brought back a few bottles of our favorites.
The town itself is charming, and we walked off our lunch with a stroll down the main street.
Two of my favorite guys!
Nice photos. Love visiting Canada. I am only about half-way done but am having such a good time finding the items.
Love your bright red cover….I’d like to visit Canada some day as well.
What a great day out – I loved Canada and would like to go back.
Great photos! Love the passport shot!
Nice pictures! I’d like to see Canada some day too
Would love to visit Canada…it’s on my list when the kids leave home..haha…love the photos…xx
What a great opportunity to get border photos!
Perfect photos for the prompt Karen! I have a brown leather passport cover which one of my best friends gave me when I visited them in Honk Kong almost 20 years ago. I love it, and it keeps my passport in better shape when I travel.
Like Abi, I was thinking of a self-portrait with my passport for item #21, but I may have to come up with something different now.
Thanks for joining in the fun!

some great photos, I would love to visit Canada some day
I always like seeing your pictures. I’m jealous that you have nearly completed the scavenger hunt.
Fab photos. I’m jealous of the border inspiration I would love to visit.
Your photos are great Karen and they are also really interesting!
I love that your border is an actual border, so lovely to see something other than flower borders!!
Great border pics. I’m hoping to get a pic of the Scotland/England border when we drive south to the lakes in a couple of weeks,

I love to travel with you, Karen, lol! You are always going on adventures and taking such gorgeous photos! Very inspiring!
I like your two guys poses – clearly heading for the most important thing in town! How lovely to be able to come and go between two such illustrious countries …
Luv your photos. Like you, a few of my photos are from a weekend getaway in Canada. I am heading over to check out your ‘exploring with your camera’ link.
Nearly finished?! Wow, impressive! I haven’t started yet… Great collection of photos 🙂
Great photos Karen! When we went to Niagara Falls several years ago the line getting in looked just like that!
I always love seeing your travel photos, Karen! Makes me feel like I’ve taken the trip right along with you. :o)
