November Visit to the Aylmer Marina

On our last walk at Andrew Haydon Park, I noticed that the trees on the Quebec side of the river had a pinkish hue.


Their trees must still be in colour...



Why not head over to Aylmer, and see for ourselves?! 



That’s exactly what we did, a few days later. There weren’t many red-leafed trees. 


At the Aylmer marina, which is almost exactly across the river from Andrew Haydon Park, there were no boats to be seen. 


All had been taken in for the winter.


But we were surprised to see a dozen kites in the air above the choppy water...

In spite of a cold wind, kite boarders were skimming across the waves, wearing wet suits.



As we watched them coming and going...











...I couldn’t help but think what a thrill it would be to challenge oneself, riding over the choppy waves, holding on for dear life in the wind!
