Sydenham Forest East

 this was last week

never seen this much Trillium

it was such a treat

we skipped this in the winter

there are to many crevices 

that's dangerous in the snow

but quite nice now

we really enjoyed this short hike

only one time a wider view

but very fun to hike

Massie Forest

 

first 4.5 km road

then on to Massie Forest

in the meadow lots of apple trees

some wetland

and a big hill

a camp spot on top, these places are rare

walking at the edge of the forest

some wet places

some covered rocks

deciduous trees 

pines

cool rock

trees make good places to sit

Racoon

 

the racoons like to live here

they look cute

but we wish they lived somewhere else

Corn

 

the corn was planted Saturday the 14th

so glad everything was in

it was very dry

but clouds appeared

and we got a beautiful rain

ideal for emerging

going fo a swim

 

it's easier getting wet

just dive in the pond

the water is so nice

Osprey

 

lots of Osprey in our area

there are platforms for nests

sometimes we look for them coming home from church

this one was home

many were not

the pond

 

looking forward to a long season

sitting at the big rock

beautiful
