ABC WEDNESDAYQ is for Quaint
 
The Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram is located in the city of Victor Harbor, South Australia, Australia. The tramway runs for half of its route over a 630 metre wooden viaduct or pier, locally described as a causeway. It links the visitor information centre in downtown Victor Harbor with the nearby Granite Island recreation and nature park.  It was built in 1867, and has offered passenger service since 1894 , to the present day. It is one of the very few horse-drawn tram routes remaining in public transit service anywhere in the world, and provides service every day throughout the year. There are four tramcars, each hauled by one of 8 Clydesdale horses.

The main body of the bay lies east of the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island.
We vacationed this year on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula.

Lardeau River

Lardeau River at Howser, British Columbia, Canada,
within the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges.
The Lardeau River connects Trout Lake with Kootenay Lake. 
Both are glacier formed lakes, and that's why the river is this gorgeous colour.

Quack Quack

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands.

The world turns softly Not to spill its lakes and rivers,
The water is held in its arms And the sky is held in the water.
What is water, That pours silver, And can hold the sky?
