A slight dusting of snow at the entrance to the Guelph Radial Trail, off Watson Road.

Preservation Food

At first we noticed some cabbage - didn't think too much about it - but then, in the forest, a regular cornucopia of vegetables seemed to have been spread beside the trail. I guess someone is feeding the deer.
My favourite is the mushroom - just thinking how a mushroom just like this one was taken from a forest like this one then grown and harvested on a farm (where?), then cleaned packed shipped and shipped some more - then brought home, unwrapped and taken down to this trail to feed the deer.

Crocky Racoon

This guy looks like he swallowed everybody's dinner - pot and all.
I saw him slugging up the tree and barely disappearing into a hole where a dead branch had broken off.

There are many roots to evil. Strange fruit.

Tidal Flats at Whale Creek

Well the map said Whale Cove but the people there said Whale Creek. Besides there's a couple other places called Whale Cove.
You could walk out for a kilometre. Well, you could.

even more graffiti

To see all the grafitti posted here lately, if you were standing at the main corner in Guelph you'd head north past the old post office, past the family thrift store, past the cowboy bar, past the cenotaph down the hill and hang a left along the tracks by the river.

After a few attempts Aurora stays still enough to coax a little bird into her hand.

Parent banded wood snail pushing baby 'out of the nest' and , unfortunately, off the leaf, as it turned out.

blue and yellow bracket fungi

Nice pastel fungi.

Starkey's Hill Trail

Arkell Side Trail

We walked from Arkell Road down the Arkell Side Trail to the Eramosa River and back - takes a couple of hours through rolling hills and woods. Nice variety.

reds and greens of fall

The moss was almost fluorescent, the needle carpet felt like walking on a futon.

turkey tails

Not sure if these are little turkey tails or something else - started looking through an excellent collection of fungus photos from G Barron but haven't finished yet - there's hundreds!

chickadee

There's a magical spot along Starkey Hill Trail where, if you stop, be quiet, and hold your hand out - black capped chiackadees will come and sit on your hand.

Songs lyrics and memes from the 60s and 70s painted on one of several colourful 'boutiques' in a pretty river town where some buildings are built on stilts over the water.
