Wheelchair rides in February!

It was last week now, but I still can't believe I was out riding around town in early February!  We had a full week of sunny days after that Saturday afternoon drive, with the temperature gradually rising to an unheard of 12 degrees!  It was actually warm!!  So here are a few pictures I took on one of my rides last week, my usual shorter ride, just to give you an idea.  Don't look at the houses; look at the sky!

Leaving home.

Let's start at the far end, 7 blocks away, just as I turn around to head home.

Then it's past the low one-story local hospital.  It may be small, but it's a godsend for local residents. That first tree on the right is where the squirrel was hiding in one of my fall pictures.

Ahead of us the street bends sharply left rather than continuing down the slope of another glacial shoreline, the ancient Nipissing shore.  You can follow it all the way through Meaford.  The tree on the left is another favourite for fall colour.

Another block and I turn back onto our own street.  For some reason it's like a wind tunnel on the prairies.  While there may be a gentle breeze on other streets, here it hits you as soon as you turn the corner!

  8. I hope you had layers of winter coats on as it still looked cold. The wind comes blowing down the plain does make it chilling. Great shots.
