What a difference a few days of warm weather makes. I took this picture after I finished a slow 5k run (running to week 9 of Robert Ullery’s C25k podcasts) in the sunshine. As I was taking this picture a little brown bat was flitting around over the water. This is the same bit of wetland I photographed on March 4.

Bright sunny days are making the snow recede very quickly. Here, the music of spring is the sound of running water.

If you’ve forgotten how much fun a snowy winter day can be (and that’s easy to do) take a toddler outside. The problem with growing up is that it takes such effort to see through a child’s eyes.

Coates Creek flows into the “Pond”. Someone braver that I has snowshoed along the water’s edge.

I had a little fun with this, using the burst mode and then stitching the resulting images in Photoshop. In both the skiing and manipulating the photos, the process was probably more satisfying than the result.

I spent about an hour and a half snowshoeing today. The great thing about snowshoeing is you can go places that might not be accessible during any other season. I was able to cross a frozen marshy area that turned me back last summer, after getting black wet shoes. I climbed up and followed the edge of a gulley, following the tracks of a snowmobile and cross country skier. The tracks of the skier parted from the snowmobile tracks and went underneath this dead maple. (It’s really not smart to walk under a fallen tree.)

Above Creemore, Ontario. The frost on the trees furthest away is from the Noisy River.
After Hurricane Hazel in 1954 a system of dams were built on the watersheds throughout Southern Ontario. The Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority maintains the dams and levees throughout the Nottawasaga River watershed. The dam at the New Lowell Conservation Area (aka the New Lowell Pond), controls flooding on Coates Creek, a tributary of the Nottawasaga.

I’m not a photographer, and don’t have a very good camera. But, inspired by Lifehacker’s post Set Up 2010 for a 365-Day Photo Project I’m launching into a year long photo project. Here is day one.
