The Vine

 

 The Vine, has been growing on this fence rail for generations, so long that most of the fence has succumbed to the combined forces of time and nature. With a sinewy base and 'branches' as big around as a  mans wrist it is a testament to tenacity.  

With a little luck and good management hopefully it will continue to amaze generations to come.

Prevailing Wind

 

Prevailing Wind

A steady wind acts as a sculptor, directing branches and canopy into elegant shapes.

These creations though can be fragile in the face of the hurricanes that lash this coast more frequently and stronger as the oceans warm. Each year we wonder what changes the winds will bring.

Treasured Memories

 

Treasured Memories,

For many Ontarians the near north is the place to spend lazy summer days.

A place of lakes, forest, and peace, beloved by Canadian artists, in our hearts and memories there is no more treasured place to spend a holiday.

However, these places are under pressure from 'developers' and the politicians who want to

curry favour with them, we have so much to lose, if the deals go through.

Going Down the Line

 

Going Down The line,

Stately old trees, the grand dames of the arboreal world, tell us tales of forgotten times if we'll listen what will they tell us?
The world has changed, for the better or worse.  Do they puzzle what will their future be as they walk in lock step with us into an uncertain future.
So many of their sisters have met the bulldozers, those ravening monsters too often fueled by thoughtless uncontrolled expansion.

The Hill On Mapleton Line

 

On  a softly undulating landscape, a dramatic drop and rise tells of of glacial times, when melting ice sent torrents of water into a newly forming inland fresh water sea. Today, after a steep climb it makes for a great view of the surrounding fertile fields, and the not so distant city.
