Fall things

 


Milkweed is seeding



Red Oaks almost shedding their leaves 



The pond looks wintery



Eavestroughs are cleaned out, our big Maple is empty

Swimming lessons

brought to his techer


1 or 2 to a group


back float


time for Joanna to swim


and Elijah takes a shower


then we watch
this is an impressive setup for private 
swimming lessons

Boyne Valley


start with a piece of road


some trees are just so colourful


lots of leaves on the ground


so crispy


This hike can be wet


there's 4 bridges 


and some boardwalks


and beauty


3 ravines



such a nice background for our lunch break


I tried to take a picture with depth, not easy


between the second and third ravine


bottom of the third 


before the ravines we went up on this hill



we got our picture taken


at this fabulous view

into a bin from there to the bagger

Kilgory Loop

 




we came to this old building


amzed it wasn't fenced off


It's an old power plant


near the river


a fast flowing river




walked up to a lookout


pictures don't do it justes


just a fun hike


in a beautyful forest


lots of leaves have fallen


we met an officer looking for hunters and people fishing
out of season


It would have been easier to look for people on
motor bikes going over the speed limmit
