Peacock Point, ON
Husband is exploring the waterfront of the Peacock Point |

Beautiful place to enjoy the view of Lake Eerie. |
Lake Eerie |
We decided to visit this beautiful place of Peacock Point located in western border of Haldimand County, Ontario directly across Lake Eerie.
From Port Dover along Lake Eerie beachfront, we travelled for around 25 minutes by car.
We've seen lot of industries on the way. They also have huge windmills all around the area as well as massive solar power farms.
They produce alternative and natural source of energy and it feels good seeing this kind of practice by huge companies; in accordance to the current situation of the environment and mother Earth.
In Peacock Point, lots of cottages and vacation houses. They also have playground for the kids and free access to the waterfront that offers beautiful view of the lake Eerie.

What's the mystery behind the Shoe Tree in Paris, Ontario
As we passed along the Green Lane, in Paris Ontario; this tree catches my attention. Then, I asked my husband (who was driving the car) to come nearer to the tree so I can have a closer look of it. I felt some sadness right away. I don't really know the full story behind it.
I showed to some locals the photos I took. Posted it as well in my facebook page and in the local community pages.
After 2 days, I found myself asking locals about it. Some people told me that they didn't like the idea of it and some showed how upset they are as the tree becomes garbage. A place to dumb old footwear.
At first, I thought this tree symbolises that people or kids were killed in car crash or bus crash as it is situated in a nearby highway. Or families might be killed by flood in the nearby river as it is in a higher point where the river is located.
And that's the reason, why I was hesitant to post it in respect to the families.
In the actual appearance of it, it looks really scary and spooky. That's why it captured my entire curiosity.
After my investigation, I've learned that one grandmother decided to nail her grandchildren's pair of shoes on the tree. After a while, random people started nailing shoes on the same tree and it collected numerous shoes, laces, slippers, sandals over the years. And that's the story of it.
