Hungry Hollow Trail
I love having an amazing trail so close to home. When I was a kid Hungry Hollow had no bridge and was, in winter, an interesting -terrifying – car ride. Now it has a beautifully constructed trail along Silver Creek. The ravine is one of my favourite parts of Georgetown, and was a huge part of my childhood. This trail showcases some of the best parts, going from the flat creek to the hilly wooded area. You can even see the posts from the old camp. The day we went was perfect. The sun was shining, no clouds in sight but the shade afforded a relief. The only downside is…

Limehouse Conservation Area
The trail through the Limehouse Conservation Area is gorgeous. When we reached Limehouse we found these beautiful, humungous mushrooms on a tree on the edge of a property. I love mushrooms, and seeing how large they can grow is incredible. We didn’t go deep into the area but there are lots of places to explore, including remnants of the of Lime industry. The Limehouse Kilns have been around since the late 1800s and are a must see when on the trail. It was a lovely, but muggy, overcast day.

Halton
Coming home is always lovely, but in the winter Georgetown is a completely different place. Summer here is gorgeous, and since I haven’t been home in a while, my father and I adventured. Georgetown is a tiny town surrounded by farmland. The photos of Main street, which will be posted tomorrow, don’t even look real. It wasn’t the liveliest place to grow up but coming back from the city to a small town is always nice.

Flowers

South Granville
I walked a long way home the other day, taking my camera through the older part of Granville. Everything is bursting with colour and when the sun shines it’s hard to stay inside. Here are a few shots from that gorgeous day!

VanDusen Botanical Gardens
The VanDusen Botanical Gardens sits in the middle of a subdivision in Vancouver. It is 55-acres of plants and flowers from around the world, with trails, a maze and little paths sneaking through nature. The colours were spectacular, bright yellows falling from trees, red rotting flowers turning purple and every shade of green you could imagine skirting every eyeline. All of the images below were taken with my phone, but I am already planning a trip back with my SLR.
