crumbling

At the far end of this bridge, and on the other side, was last week's bridge post

This one is "use at your own risk" and closed to vehicles.

In the distance you can see the bridge of the main road.

the last of the snowy views.

dam winter bridge

A small bridge over a dam.

It looks like there is a path out by the lake, but I may need to revisit in the summer to check it out again.

The snow will be all gone by now - the temps are a balmy 20C this weekend!!

frozen north facing west

the sun rise casts an eerie glow out over the still frozen lake as the shadow recedes

and after a full day of work, the sun sets off another eerie glow as it sets on the horizon.

the day before

View from my balcony, the day before the snow storm that brought a record breaking amount of the wet, white stuff.

winter

Winter has not quite disappeared no matter what the calendar says. With the blowing snow we are experiencing at the moment, you probably couldn't even find the stairs, so I hope the sign is still up.

signs, signs

slumber

And Winter slumbering in the open air,

Wears on his smiling face a dream of Spring!

I is for ice

In this case, ice sculpture.

Or even, if you like, ice hockey.

ABC Wednesday

drive cautiously

It is a bit hard to see this bridge beyond the bend on the unlit private road with no railing save the railway ties...

it is along this road that I drive to make my deliveries (in the dark, mostly).

arch or steps

You can take the steps or cross the bridge into Hendrie Park at the Royal Botanical Gardens.

We are in for a weekend of non-stop rain which will make this slushy mess into a muddy mess.

This may be the last snow covered photo of a bridge....

the tree standeth

There is no storm hath power to blast

The tree God knows;

Through every tempest standeth fast,

And from its first day to its last

Still fairer grows.
