i have been logging my dog walks with a my tracks, an application on my new android phone (Samsung i7500). the tracks have not included smaller outings, but i'm thinking of incorporating all walks in to the database.

and, because everyone loves eye candy.
chutney and i at the beginning of the walk in the humber. closest location to where the picture was taken is where it says Magwood Park down near the bottom of the picture.
a favourite body of water of mine. the thalweg of the river so clearly defined by the freezing of other parts of the river. note that most of the water going over the 'falls' is frozen as well.
i wanted to show how much it was snowing, but it looks like the snow here is just a little bit and i'm a keener for wearing goggles because of a few flakes.
up on the hydro corridor, it was really effin windy up here. wind was gusting from the west so was mostly at my back on this walk.
this route is one of my staples for walking the dog. it has plenty of nature-filled nooks and crannies. places of meditation and places of reflection. the whole area has been inhabited for 14000+ years. Actually, at the most northwestern tip of my journey is where they found one of the oldest arrowheads on record in North America. there are a few burial grounds around. many gristmills have come and gone (washed away by spring floods). much of the landscape still shows its scars from human (mostly european) intensive development. it is also a place where you can look at the stratigraphy and dream of days passed; a much more tropical and hospitable place to be.
the bonus today was that i found a gap in the chain link fence that keeps me safe prevents me from crossing railroad tracks to get in to the hydro corridor. i was once foiled by the very same fence last winter when i approached it from the other side. eventually i found a small gap below the fence and the ground where i squeezed chutney through and i hopped the barbed wire. not this time though.
to new passages!
