Berry season’s back and it looks like it’s going to be a good one! Strawberries are in full swing, blueberries are making their first appearances, and raspberries should be ready within a week.

That can pose a dilemma. We’ll soon be debating whether it’s a hiking weekend or a berry picking weekend. Either way, a happy ending. Though it wasn’t […]
Snapped lots of various mushroom and fungi pics this year — here are a few of my faves… Half were taken in the French River area, the rest on the Duchesnay Falls trail in North Bay.
