Mono Cliffs


we started with sun, but it disappeared later


view at the cliffs


still places with colourful leaves


saw something move in the leaves


went around to look at the front
a porcupine 


a rock to have lunch


there are a few areas with water


lots of milkweed


we could see very far today

Cleaning out the calf pens


Once a year the calf pens are cleaned out

Today was the day


a bit cold but mostly sunny


pen for pen


this barn works so well, the liquids go in the pit underneath
during cleaning the calves are on the slotted floor
the part where they eat

Waterdown hike

Only 5.5 km but what a beautiful hike

Parked the car and biked to the beginning


Biking turned out to be the most difficult part of the hike


It was  a lot up and down


over the top, but still so beautiful


this picture will be on the cover 
when I make a Bruce trail photo book


crossing this road was a bit dangerous hwy 5

and we were stuck in traffic for 45 min



saw the whole Creditview road from big houses
to developing areas



to farmland



ending at Belfountain

Around the Farm


The other day I walked around the farm



the cows are outside in the daytime again


Easier to get them inside when they are slow to go to be milked



All the crops are gone, fields are empty
just this bunch left so there is something on my picture



Fall is definitely here
