Strolling down by the bay
On Friday we took our grandson on one of our favourite walks down by the bay ... The Bay of Quinte that is. Come along and enjoy the stoll with us.
It was a bit of an overcast day as a big rain system was just moving out of the area.
The path wanders along beside the bay for a long way.
One end of the walkway starts at a large marina. In the background you can see the bridge that connects the city of Belleville to Prince Edward County.
Along the way there are lovely garden areas and places to sit and relax.
Lots of walkers, dog walkers, joggers, roller bladers, and bike riders can be met as you stroll along.
Anyone know the name of this hosta?
Fire Island? Sun Power?
Some gardens are created but many are just left to grow wild with native plants and grasses.

This old tree reaches right over into the water.
Out on the water was a group of sailboats from the sailing club.Lots of fishermen try their luck at catching that elusive 'big one'. In the winter when the bay is frozen over the ice is dotted with ice fishing huts.
Someone was very creative with an old tree stump and turned it into a big chair.
We saw lots of ducks while out for our walk. I showed some more photos on yesterday's post. We usually spot the heron as well but not that day.
The skies started to clear towards the end of our walk. It is a wonderful way to get some exercise and enjoy nature.The Quiet Country House invites you to take a Sunday stroll around your garden too.

Linda, that area is such a pretty one : ) It was a strange day with the overcast clouds and a wee bit of rain .. this morning it is gorgeous but I think it is going to be quite hot again.
Great pictures of very pretty scenery .. the tree chair was a hoot ! : )

Gosh, I seriously enjoyed your stroll!
Even though the skies were overcast, it made the greenery pop out even more! It seems that the weather did not bother the sailors one little bit our there!
A wonderful post... hope your weekend is going well.
The hosta looks like Sun Power. It was a treat to take this walk with you.

Looks like a wonderful time.
Linda, what a lovely place to take a stroll!
What a lovely stroll! Great shots of sea and sky and how nice that you had your grandson to enjoy it with!
What a lovely area! Love the big chair too! Great photo spot!
What a wonderful stroll along the bay. Your overcast skies look like ours today. I'm starting to get used to it, after a two week stretch of rainy days with just a few bits of blue sky here and there.
Love the ducks, love the stump chair, love the pretty scenery! Thanks for strolling.
