Texas Cowboy & The Hell-Bound Train for Spiritual-Scenic-Shadow Shot Sunday

A visit to Nelsonville,Ohio and the Hocking Valley Scenic Railway for SPIRITUAL—SCENIC—SHADOW SHOT SUNDAY. 

Ok, there have been a couple shadows and I think railway cars in general are scenic but I had to work long and hard to come up with Spiritual. This may or may not fit the bill.

THE HELL BOUND TRAIN

Finally a real shadow

 Joe Todd reporting from the shadows saying,”Have a great week.”

Stratford,Ontario & A Little Shakespeare

Really not all that far from Lancaster,Ohio you can be in a different country and a lovely town with a lot of character Stratford,Ontario. I have found that Stratford and Lancaster are both great arts/festival towns.

For That’s My World Tuesday a visit to Stratford,Ontario

“Ahhhh Stratford! Let us introduce ourselves. Few places in Ontario are lovelier or more alive with culture and character than Stratford.  We are a charming Victorian city nestled in pastoral countryside a few short hours from Toronto and the U.S. – a  destination internationally renowned as one of North America’s great arts towns.” more.

 

GARDENS,PARKS,FLOWERS,QUAINT BUILDINGS AND MORE:

 

A couple of lovers and a wedding……………………………

Ah they are trying to hide behind the umbrella LOL

Probably saved some money on the flowers by having their wedding in this beautiful park & and the rain held off til after the wedding.

Guess who And so many beautiful flowers a collage to show you a few.

The waterway thru the park

To Dinner: Great food,atmosphere,and service. Then a little shopping.   Captures the essence of the shopping experience in Stratford,Ontario. Lastly, The Shakespeare Festival theater.

Where we saw Kiss Me,Kate and the experience was a blast. The play wasn’t what I was expecting. Talk about funny… Where do the actors/actresses get all their energy??

William Shakespeare,Linda and Joe Todd say,”Thanks for stopping by & go see a play.”
