I can never help but taking pictures of pretty flowers, funky mushrooms, luscious berries, and odd or huge trees, or telling an interesting tidbit about them.

We’d been wanting to visit Halfway Lake Provincial Park north of Sudbury for a few years now, but we somehow never managed to get there. We used to think that we’d go to Halfway Lake on a backpacking trip, but we realised this year that we were better off going for a day hike instead. So last weekend […]
The rainy spring this year didn’t dampen my spirits in the least. That’s impossible when it’s raining flowers! Or at least, when the rain brings blooming flowers… ;)(winky face). We’ve seen all kinds of wildflowers this year, most recently while backpacking Algonquin Park’s Eastern Pines Trail. And the garden’s looking good, too! There’s no way I’m done taking […]
We’d had our eye on backpacking Algonquin Park’s Eastern Pines Trail for some time now, since it’s a short, easy loop that we could do in a regular weekend without difficulty. It’s also accessible by water, so we’d been considering it as a possible hike and paddle combo. Still, we never imagined we’d return to Algonquin in June, […]
For the second year in a row, we’ve had a tough time finding a good spot for cranberries. We didn’t even get any at all last year! This autumn, the search seemed rather fruitless (pardon the pun). We went to Theodore Fouriezos Wetlands Park in Sturgeon Falls, but nada! When we had called for information, we’d been told […]
Every blogger is happy to wake up to a WordPress notification that someone has quoted or commented on one of their blog posts. Usually. But when I found out that I had been misquoted and unjustifiably called immoral, I was less than pleased. Not long ago, I published a post about how, during the summer months, my partner […]
Even though blueberries are still going strong, we occasionally need a change of scenery. But still wanting more berries to get us through the winter, we remembered an afternoon last year which had been spent picking blackberries even though blueberries had been the objective of the trip. Since growing conditions have been better all-around this year, we headed […]
I went completely crazy for flowers this year, taking pics almost every time I saw some. Alright, I’m sure it’s hard to find an ugly flower, but I think these are particularly nice. Flower Power From the Garden These are all from my mother’s garden. I’ve got to start remembering to bring my camera when I go to […]
If it wasn’t for the mounds of berries we pick on our blueberry picking bush hikes, which we freeze, dehydrate, and yes, even sell, I’d be sad that we don’t really do any hiking during the summer months. But then we wouldn’t be able to share our Earth-friendly blueberry picking tips… All kidding aside, I mean real hiking. […]
