Wondering about my wanderings

My niece put a sheaf of wheat on my Dad's his casket... He was buried in South-Africa's soil on October 1, 2021.
I enjoyed the show of fall colours on this trail! The rolling landscape varies often between forests and farmland with plenty rivers in between.
45.4 - 55.2 When I planned today's hike two weeks ago, I wasn't sure that the weather would play along. The nastier weather came through two days early and tomorrow there is a new weather system brewing. It turns out today is the perfect day to go out after all! We drive through fog for… Continue reading Bayview Escarpment Provincial Nature Reserve – July 28, 2021
