Fort Henry continues its role as a museum and historic site to residents of Kingston and visitors from all around the world. Once inside the wooden gates, visitors enter the realm of 19th century military life, experience guided tours, scenic views, heart-pounding musical performances and precision military demonstrations by the Fort Henry Guard* (a highly disciplined group of university student recruits trained as British soldiers from 1867). You will also see people representing the civilian population of the Fort as schoolteachers and soldiers’ wives. The Fort also plays host to numerous special ceremonies and events that take place all season long.”

This teacher played the role VERY well. So well, that my son was TERRIFIED of her and sat very still in his seat with the other boys – the girls were on the other side of the room. His poor eyes kept looking at me, as if to say “help”. :)

We were able to walk around in the fort and see what people were wearing and using back in those days.

This one is one of my favorites…its not perfect, isn’t composed properly, but I don’t care…I still love it because it show my son skipping along (he had his leg cast removed about 3 weeks prior).

Someone wasn’t happy with me…she was getting a “time out” for something and was not impressed with me…can you tell? :)

I love his expression here….few minutes prior to this shot, a soldier and a donkey walked by, and left an unpleasant odour.

You may have noticed that I have make some changes to the blog…and there may be more coming, you see, I am trying out different looks – still trying to make it “Me”…so far I am liking the simple blog background clutter free (i don’t like clutter…lol)

ok…and while I was trying to clean out the blog clutter, I also started going through my images and archiving old stuff. While doing this, I came across TONS of images that I never blogged before, like this from the Busker festival last year.. ;)
