Here is a selection of what we got on our travels today.
 |
| Found in the river at Glen Morris - this area is usually not under water at all. With the usual springtime melt, coupled with the heavy rains over the last few days, the river is running very high and much along its edge that normally is dry, is submerged. |
 |
| Shot from the sidewalk, this collection of things out front of this stuccoed house struck both me and Martin as being worthy of a photograph. |
 |
| The light today was that very muted light that comes with rain and heavy overcast. |
 |
| Most of the bright colour came from unnatural sources thanks in large part to our delayed spring. |
 |
| The barest hint of green is all that is out there, even along the shores of the river where you would expect to find more of it. |
 |
| Excellent advice here - driving to the left of the sign would be a messy and rather wet experience. |
 |
| Running high and not dry. Lots of water today over the dam in Paris. |
Enjoying your blog. I've heard there's a few hills near paris that rival the Hawkesville Hills in grade, would you happen to know which ones folks refer to?
ReplyDeleteBrant-Waterloo Road off of West River Road has some good choppy hills on it. Main Street in Paris between Dumfries and Chapel is referred to by some as evil (starts off steep, then goes to very steep - I find it worse than the Hawksville hill by a considerable amount). Off the top of my head, those are the steepest bits. In general though, most of the roads between Cambridge and Paris are pretty good. When I road my way out, I tend to use Trussler road to get down that way, and then wander about hitting the highlights of some of the steeper bits. Gets a nice ride in - from North Waterloo it ends up being north of 100km - and some nice hills with little traffic. Thanks for the kind comments about the blog.
