Random Photos from our Walks

As you know, we go for an almost daily trudge. We often snap pics with our phones. As winter soon (hopefully!) begins to wane, I thought that I would post some shots that haven't made it into other posts.

Two somewhat buried benches: the first in our neighbourhood park, the second along the bridge trail. Both seem to have been sat upon but not by us. The second one has a bare patch right in the middle. I could show the patch better from another angle, but, compositionally, I like this view with the trail stretching into the distance.

From part of the trail bridge before it goes over the river. I like the curving road with the two lines where the car tires have worn down the snow. The road reduces to a single lane under the bridge, so not many cars use it, even though it is close to and leading to downtown. 

Animal tracks in the park.

The footbridge in the park.

Here's one standing below the door of town hall and looking up at the flags: the Ontario ensign on the left and the Carleton Place flag on the right. Maybe it will go into my project, or maybe I'll do a better one in due course.

Happy protest day down there. It's a start, but widespread work stoppages and protests need to happen. Pain will have to be endured, I'm afraid. That may be easy for me to say, but we shall have our share of pain up here. Just for today, however, we won't darken the doors of any American stores or buy American products. We are not even going to load up Facebook, run by another oligarch, or are we now saying broligarch? I have already all but abandoned Twitter, but I will remain on BlueSky, for they seem to be doing things right and keeping the site as circumspect as they can.
