Lazy Snow Pictures


I took these through the window


this girl was first to go out to the pile


the others followed


so cold! I didn't join


it's nice to have a snow-pile


fun to play with

Fire Clean-Up

 


quite a few loads of burned steel


the neighbours came together for clean-up
the tractor in the background was outside, 
but to close to the fire


We live in a good neighbourhood 
where people help each other

coming form the Hartung Farm


looked like a big fire


fire trucks arrived


lots of flames


firetrucks driving off and on

Road section

 

some of us had wet feet after the snow
but some clean socks and plastic bags sofved that problem


It was pretty, most of the time sunny


later more clouds and cooler


I remembered this house from earlier


looked different on September 20 2012
The first time we went past this place

Bayview escarpment to Irish block road


start at Bayview Escarpment parking the first car

move to Irish Block road to start hiking into the forrest


deep snow, my feet were dry so I got to go first


to blaze a trail


some places were very deep
especially the fields


beautiful view though


first 2 km of our hike

Missed snowstorm

 


a day after a storm that kind of missed us


there's a bit of clean up 


mainly because it was windy

not so Scenic Drive


up the Chedoke stairs a nice waterfall


the scenic drive is not very scenic in the fog


but the icy waterfalls are pretty


wonder if you can see this from very far away normally


looks kind of spooky


lots and lots of benches
we'll have to come back here on a clear day

Chedoke Stairs




lunch before we climb up


it's a long way up


past a waterfall


up to the top


not much view due to the fog


getting there


step 289 that wasn't to bad
