Spring sights around town

Today we took a walk on one of our favorite trails in the city of Erie itself--it's on the ridge over the Bayfront Highway along Presque Isle Bay, a mile-long trail along West Front Street. It begins at UPMC Hamot and ends at about Liberty or Plum Street. We were surprised when we reached the end to find a brand new condo complex, three floors, two apartment per floor, each with a drop-dead-gorgeous view of the yacht club and bay.

Along the way we passed hundreds of early May spring sights, but here are the two that most caught our attention: an early spring outing for the Brig Niagara (right) and a similar trip, we expect, for the Victorian Princess Riverboat, left, (dinner and lunch cruises throughout the summer):


There were lots of tulips out in the many gardens along the way, but this one far exceeded all the rest.


Finally, I can't resist sharing this sight, in our very own parking lot after liturgy. What happened to that good old Catholic custom of dangling a rosary from the rear view mirror? Necessity over devotion, I guess!
