I WILL LET A FEW PHOTOS SPEAK FOR ME TODAY

SPOTTED THESE NICE RED MAPLES ON OUR WAY OUT OF THE PARK THIS MORNING

This is Part One of a two part walk along Goderich's Maitland Woods Trail this morning.  I hope to have Part Two of this walk in Friday's post........

A NEW WALKING BRIDGE HAS REPLACED THE OLD ONE ON THE HINDMARSH TRAIL

NO, THAT IS NOT A HURON COUNTY VINE SNAKE

A LOT OF CEDAR TREES GROW IN THIS MARSHY AREA

MANY DIFFERENT FORMS OF MOSES AND LICHENS ON THE FOREST FLOOR

WHY WALK ON THE WOODEN WALKWAY WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE TO EH

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME STRONG WINDS THROUGH HERE

IT'S NICE TO SEE MANY TREES ALONG THE WAY HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED

I NEVER KNEW THERE WAS SUCH A THING AS 'CLIMBING POISON IVY'

CAN YOU SEE THE BIG 'MOOSE HEAD' IN THE TREE ROOT SYSTEM?

NOW WHAT THE HECK'S GOING ON UP THERE??

AWWW, JUST A COUPLE TRAIL WORKERS DOING A BIT OF MAINTENANCE

STOPPING ALONG THE WAY TO TIE MY SHOE

I THINK I SEE A FACE IN THERE SOMEWHERE

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL MILD MORNING WE HAD GOING ON TODAY

BEING A MARSHY AREA MANY STRANGE THINGS GROW HERE

LOTS OF GREAT SMELLS FOR PHEEBS ALONG THE TRAIL

AN OLD ROTTING STUMP

'OH-OH' A SHADOWY FOREST CREATURE AHEAD BLOCKS OUR PATH

LUCKILY, THAT SHADOWY FOREST CREATURE WAS JUST A BIG OLD STUMP BUT PHEEBS IS KEEPING A WARY EYE ON IT ANYWAY

OUR FOREST WALK WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW:))

GROANER'S CORNER:((  Because of dense fog, a steamboat had to stop at the mouth of the river. A passenger demanded to know the cause of the delay.  "Can't see up the river," the harassed captain replied. "Fog's too thick."  "But I can see the stars overhead," the passenger said.  "Yes," the captain growled, "but unless the engines explode, we're not going that way."
