The banks of Lake Ontario Kilted

Today I went out to my parents place it was nice to see them, as I was there I got a few photos of the lake. After that I stopped at the mall to pick up a few things and this family had to have a picture with me. It was a good day all in all. It was a bit cool and windy by the lake but I was OK in my Royal Naval Association Tartan Kilt by Barb Tewksbury. I just love way people treat me when I'm out in my kilt, I really think it has to do with the fact that as a daily kilt wearer I've become accoustomed to it and it shows.

You SURE that's a lake? Can't see the other side of it...??? Around here lakes are something you can see the other side of....

Sharp look.

That is one of the Great Lakes Ontario is pretty big and consequently so is Lake Ontario, the other side is New York State. Here is the wikipedia article on it

I remember thinking I have never seen a lake I couldn't see the other side of before when I saw Lake Ontario for the first time!

Ron, if you look very closely just beyond Glen's left shoulder, you'll see me in the background, waving from the southern shore.

Nice pics, Glen.

I am with you on this one Ron. We may not be able to see from one end to the other, on a few of our lochs, but we can see one side from the other-----unless its raining! Yes you are right, Great pictures.
