A morning adventure...

Leaving Daddy at home with his newspaper on his quiet Father's Day morning, we headed out to one of our favourite hiking trails....it's a section of the Bruce Trail that we discovered last summer and visit often, during all four seasons. Part of it is a re-naturalized quarry and offers a boardwalked tour of a wetland area that usually displays some beautiful birdlife as well as painted turtles and some frogs -- but this time, Sebastian's Flow led us back to the starting point for juice and snacks rather than a final tour of the boardwalk -- so sorry, no pics of that! This was our first trip of the year in full 'greenery' and we soaked up every wonderful molecule....


Savannah and I attempt a self-portrait at the top of our 'view'...


Sebastian poking in a tiny stream with a big stick...

Trail management....the remnants of a lovely old tree...look at the work the insects have done!
A most slimy trail companion...Savannah touched it (gently) and pronounced it 'slithery'...it's a big yellow slug in case you can't see...

At the base of the 'rocky steps'....

Climbing the rocky steps...a naturally occuring staircase of rock in the side of the quarry...
Up out of the forest and onto the path that leads us to our 'view'....
Our 'view'...named by Savannah last year, it's where we sit and have our picnic and just revel in the beauty of it all....
I have heaps more pictures of this trip but the site it slow and I'm ready to hit the snoozer....;}
