BLAZE OF YELLOW LEAVES This is my favourite time of the year to capture the essence of fall in Fintry Provincial Park. I have a particular walk I go on each day and I spent a good couple of hours this morning taking photos of scenes along the way while the sun was shining. At the […]
On my early morning walk on the upper trail in Fintry Provincial Park, the scene mid May is very different from earlier in the season. Masses of lupines line the pathway and straight away I smelt the wild roses – an array of both pale and deep pink blooms. . As I walked further on though […]
I never cease to get tired of my walks through Fintry Provincial park especially at this time of the year when there is so many things to discover. Even on a dreary day I love the views from my upper trail walk to the waterfall. This particular walk not only gives me a good workout […]

The good thing about this though is the heavy snowfall has provided a protective layer on all my shrub, vegetable and flower beds […]
