More Things to See

 The temperature has risen and I can be out every day now; here are some more things I noticed riding our own street.  Thankfully all the rain we had washed off the streets really well, so I'm not bringing any dust into the house!

At the east end of our little dead end street is a small valley bringing a little stream down from the south.  Here it emerges from a big culvert under a driveway, and at some point a narrow bridge was built to cross it.

On the other side of the road it's a more open valley where it drains down through the golf course to eventually join other streams and flow down to the bay.

Right beside it stand out mailboxes and a 'little library' a resident of the street made and installed.  I've borrow books several times.

Across the street as we move on is that line of tall Norway Spruce.  You can recognize them by their cones, about an inch thick and six inches long.  Our native White Spruce has much smaller cones.

One house has a group of Daffodils at the front corner.

And another house has a larger group of Daffodils in front of a large boulder.

I usually get delivered down to the library after physio, but yesterday I rode home by myself rather than scheduling a ride.  I can't resist adding this photo of a lawn decorated with a large patch of scilla.

  3. Out And about seeing spring flowers, love the boulder with little children at the side. And what a delightful huge display of Scilla. It must be warming up. We had a frost this morning, about 4C air temperature.
