A Hawk and a Skunk

Saw a Hawk in a tree on Hwy 9

backed up to take a picture

a skunk in the pasture

Is it a sign of Spring?

Ice Diamonds

It looks so pretty still

but our eyes can see all these ice diamonds

a picture just doesn't do it justice

 Even the milktruck looks cool

this picture captures some colours

absolutely love driving around

Job 38

Does the rain have a father?

    Who fathers the drops of dew?

From whose womb comes the ice?

    Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens

when the waters become hard as stone,

    when the surface of the deep is frozen?

Creekbank Sewing Machine Lesson

When you buy a sewing machine here, a lesson is included

there were 4 of us

I had this stitch on my old machine too, never used it

we were proud of our handy work

button hole, looked pretty good

my free stile definitely need some work

Snow over Freezing Rain

It is very pretty outside

a white world

the freezing rain still adds to the overall picture

love the added ice here

just pretty

Freezing Rain

The windows have a layer of ice

and so does almost everything else

sharp looking shrub

it's windy so pieces of ice fall out of the trees

the clothes line looks kind of cool

hope we get out of the Freezing Rain area soon

Bruce trail Webster to Clappisons corners

Starting at Webstrès Falls

 First set of stairs

Arriving at Tews Falls

Dundas Peak

unfortunately very muddy at places

we had anticipated better footing

unnamed Falls

lunch in the middle of a climb

needed to get some energy to continue

it was just below freezing

On top of Borers Falls

Here from a distance

down to the parking lot

muddy boots

Sunsets

Saturday Evening

Not much of a difference,

just spectacular both times

"Give praise to the Lord, proclaim his name;
    make known among the nations what he has done"

Melting snow

Amazing how much snow has melted

even the river has the ice  "wandering"

kind of interesting how that works, up and over each other

the pasture is clearing fast

almost makes you want to look for Robins, have not seen one yet!

late Picture

When I loaded pictures on the computer I found this one

must have been taken on the last day when the Shaffers were here

GVT Fairview-Doon area

The GTV (Grand Valley Trail) is beside the Grand River

we saw deer while sitting down for a snack

we had Yaktrax on our shoes, it helped a lot

way easier when you are not afraid to fall

This trail is not always easy to follow,

several times we had trouble finding the blazes

Hidden valley road, enormous houses

quite a bit of the trail is through the city, but we love it 

when we are back by the river

Agatha wasn't there so we were just with the 3 of us

It was a very nice hike
