On my iPhone the last photos in March are ones that were sent via WhatsApp and landed in my Photos page. These two are my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Sevin. In the second shot you can see the new shiner that Sevin is sporting. She’s just learning to walk and she took a tumble and fell on the edge of a chair.

The last photo that I took on my iPhone is just before I got back in the car after our hike along the Etobicoke Creek on Tuesday.

Thursday Trios – Happy Easter

an Easter theme for #14 of Thursday Trios

We’re back in lockdown here in Ontario so all family visits are discouraged. I have a bag full of chocolates and eggs for the Easter egg hunt I had planned and I purchased more decorations and some wooden bird houses for a painting activity that I wanted to do with the family. My husband is trying to make me feel better by saying that none of that stuff will go bad so we can do this in May.

The one bit of good news that I got today was that I can get the vaccine on April 11. Yahoo!

Hilton Falls – Water, Water Everywhere #71

….thanks to Jez for hosting Water,Water, Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2021/03/29/callendar-lake-water-water-everywhere-71/

Another trip to a conservation area with a waterfall.

Last week we took a drive to Halton Hills. We had to make a reservation and we were quite surprised at how many cars were in the parking lot for a Wednesday afternoon. The hike started with a steep climb up a rugged path but this was the most difficult part of the hike. After that the paths were wide and relatively smooth.

It didn’t take too long before we heard the sound of rushing water.

As the sound got louder the we noticed that the water moved quickly and before too long we found ourselves at the top of Hilton Falls. This waterfall is 10 metres high and at the base are the ruins of a 19th century sawmill.

The conservation area also has great picnic sites right by the falls and when COVID is over the fire pit will probably be open to the public again.

After our lunch we headed back on the path that we came on but there was a fork in the road and we headed toward the reservoir.

All in all we had a wonderful day. On the way home we took a side road instead of the highway and were impressed with the beautiful countryside so close to the city.
