Enjoying Nature
Mill Pond in Richmond Hill
Is there any more relaxing pastime than walking along the water or through a forest? Communing with nature in this way is good for the soul.
Most communities have parks and trail systems for the enjoyment of their residents.
While living in the Niagara Region I hiked sections of the Bruce Trail, which runs along the Niagara escarpment from Queenston, near Niagara Falls, to Tobermory, on the Bruce Peninsula. The different flora and fauna to be seen on this trail is totally amazing.

During a trip to Calgary I trekked several kilometres on the huge trail system that exists there.
Much of the trail runs along the Bow River through various types of terrain and is used by walkers, cyclers and rollerbladers, many of whom are commuting to or from work.
In most cases it is our tax money that helps to maintain these amenities so let's take advantage of what is made available and get out and enjoy nature.
