O-Kee-Lee

I have taken you to various parks, trails and woodlands, all within our town, over the summer, but we had yet to visit O-Kee-Lee. I don't know if I should call it a park or a woodland or what. It is a small woodsy area with path going through it. The woods off the trails are very scrubby, but we can find a few interesting photos along the paths. As you know, I like woodsy trails and the shapes of trees, so here we go.

A winding path shortly after we entered with a bit of autumn colour just beginning to emerge in the distance.


Not very far in I found a little patch of changing leaves with tree trunks looming in the background.


As I have said, I am quite drawn to shapes of tree trunks and branches.


More shapes near the end of the first and main path.


Looking upward and to the side from close to the same spot as above,  I love the gnarly shapes high up there.


I think my final photo is my favourite of the day with that splash of red framed by other tree trunks.

  1. I wish more of our wooded paths were as nice and as wide as yours. Here they are narrow and walking them means brushing the neighboring shrubbery which contain ticks that may or many not have a disease that can alter the rest of your life.

  3. I do like walking around trees. I can't get among ours, poison ivy, but walking alongside is very calming. Your paths are inviting.

  5. You have good paths through your parks and wooded areas. I think my favorite is also the last.

  6. I love trees although many of ours are evergreens, so not as scenic. (except in the snow) I see beautiful glimpses of autumn.

  7. Autumn is creeping in, painting the leaves bright colours. Beautiful.

  8. Autumn is my favorite time of year and perhaps yours as well? Now, you have me thinking that we should also take a walk in our nearby park soon.

  10. Watch the north sky tonight. Chances are the aurora will grace us again. Lovely photos on the Ontario Storm Reports page.
