Frogs Hollow Road and Home

This drive is getting too long, but this is the end, just a few more pictures.  After the flower bridge we drove on the Clarksburg and, avoiding the busy tourist roads, headed home via Frogs Hollow Road.

This beautiful view is across the valley of the Beaver River as you drive east out of Heathcote.

The hazy top of Blue Mountain showing up in the background.

then we drove west out of Clarksburg past the big Red Prince orchards.

Just beyond them, at Willow Creek Farm is an orchard of large traditional apple trees.  Picking them is much more challenging!  I saw someone moving this tall ladder, but they never climbed up it to pose for a picture.

We pulled in to their tiny farm stand, but we didn't take the large pumpkin (couldn't lift it anyway).  But Mrs. F.G. did get some nice squash.

Then we turned north and drove up past this vineyard, getting a view of the bay, a lone sailboat, and Thornbury's water tower. 

And again, a hazy Blue Mountain in the distance.

There were more colourful woodlots as we drove home along Frogs Hollow Road, and then it was down the hill toward the blue water of Georgian Bay and Meaford.
