We paid a visit to Old Fort Erie today and while there were a lot of shots I could have chosen from, I was fond of this one the most. At one point, as we exited the Officers Quarters, there were steps that lead up to a part of the fort fortified with canons. The way was just at eye level and made for an interesting shot of the dew-covered clover.
The history lesson today was quite interesting. I had not know just how much our neighbors to the North were part of our heritage as we are part of theirs. The Battle of Fort Erie was one of the bloodiest of all the battles during the War of 1812. I think it was excellent for our kids to hear a different perspective on things,
If a man who cannot count, finds a four leafed clover, is he lucky?
