Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge – Pairs
Water, Water Everywhere – Tiffany Falls
….thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2021/03/01/reflections-in-a-puddle-water-water-everywhere-67/
For this week’s #67 challenge I have photos of Tiffany Falls to share with you. Earlier this week my husband and I had quite the adventure getting to this beautiful waterfall in Ancaster, ON.
Ancaster is just south of Hamilton and Tiffany Falls is just one of over 100 waterfalls in the area. Two weeks ago this waterfall was completely frozen. You could actually walk behind the frozen wall of ice. Since then a lot of the snow has melted but in the wooded areas the snow melted and froze again so the trails were very icy. Before we started out my husband lent me his ice cleats but that meant he didn’t have anything on the bottom of his shoes.
There were parts of the path, especially when it went uphill that were so slippery I didn’t even trust the cleats. At one point a nice gentleman who also had cleats on his shoes helped me over a rise on the path. Unfortunately it was at this point that my husband stopped and didn’t try to get closer to the falls. Luckily he was able to see it from where he stopped and his camera allowed him to zoom in and get a closer look. I walked all the way to the lookout. In some of the photos you’ll notice that there is a family that went right to the base of the falls.
When we got home I immediately ordered a second pair of ice cleats.
Lost #6
….no masks this time but lots of mittens and gloves
It seems now that the snow has melted there are numerous lost mittens and gloves. The stuffed toy may not have been lost but it certainly was misplaced when it ended up on top of the lighthouse structure. Some kind people have taken the lost items and placed them on tree branches so that people might see them as they walk by and hopefully retrieve what belongs to them.
Thursday Trios – #10
…it seems that somewhere down the road I numbered one of the posts incorrectly but it is now corrected
Looking for trios can be challenging but sometimes they are right under our noses. Case in point, the photo with the stringed instruments is in my living room and the yarn has been hidden away but it was in my house.
There are no rules as too when you post, how often, or what you post as long as there are three objects, people or animals. Join the fun and copy my link and paste it into your post.

Wacky Bird Wednesday
…thanks to Kevin for this week’s wacky bird
He’s looking rather relaxed and excited at the same time, don’t you think? Wonder what he has on his mind?

Sunset – March 2, 2021
…I don’t know if this is typical of a winter sunset
The saying goes ‘Red sky at night, sailor’s delight….red sky in the morning, sailor’s warning’.
I’m hoping that means that tomorrow will be a beautiful day but the sky almost looks ominous tonight. What do you think?
Monday Windows – March 1, 2021
…thanks to Ludwig for hosting Monday Windows https://mondaywindow.wordpress.com/2021/03/01/monday-window-march-1-2021/
After doing a bit of shopping the other day I decided to drive down into Col. Sam Smith Park and go for a short of a walk. On my way back to the car I passed the outdoor skating rink. Even though we’ve experienced some pretty mild temperatures the rink was still operational because of the pipes under the ice.
In Toronto if you want to skate in one of the city ice rinks you have to book a time so that the area doesn’t become overwhelmed with too many people. A booth is set up outside the old Power Plant where you can sign in. The building itself is closed now during COVID but is used as a community centre.
