Today on the trail

Weather: dazzling sunlight, -15C, -18C windchill
Location: heaven on earth - the Youth Start Trail, part of the Millenium Trail system, Woodstock, Ontario. It is called the Youth Start Trail as a group called "Youth Start" did much of the original work to establish the trail.

    Thanks for the kind comments everyone. I manage to do okay with my little Canon SX100, it serves me well. This particular trail is a lovely spot in any season but I think winter might be my favorite. As for the ducks, I think they need a good psych exam and maybe booties after that - I can't imagine swimming around in that frigid water.

    Both photos are fantastic but I adore the second one. Looks like little butterfly ice-cycles are dancing on the limb.
