Fall colours

It’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood.

Where’s my tree?

In aid of some repairs to the drains, the property management had to cut down three honey locust trees.  Let’s hope that they are replaced promptly with sizeable young trees.

The power of ice storms

Among other things, December’s ice storm split this tree down the middle four ways.

February pines

Here’s the snow falling on the pine trees outside our windows.

After the ice storm

We didn’t get 2.5 cm of ice but in some places probably 1 cm. Of course, it was pretty.

Our local pine trees didn’t break, but the ice weighed down their branches.

Fall colours: Japanese Maple

My walk in the neighbourhood found this beautiful red maple. It contrasted with carefully placed limestone rocks.
