Peterborough, Ontario - Fall colours

Beautiful fall colours in the park by our home. Ya gotta love fall...

Peterborough, Ontario - Otonabee River - Ducks

Do you have all your ducks in a row? We do...



These ducks are in the Otonabee River.

Peterborough, Ontario - Driving tour

We took a drive with our buddy Jimmy and saw some great scenery along the way.



There were wildflowers everywhere, with diversity like we've never seen. This picture really doesn't do them justice. There was just no way to capture it all.


This is such a gorgeous view. I love the plant in the foreground, too - green at the base and red at the tips.

7 weeks of sick - still catching up

Edit: Went to hospital with severe symptoms. After a barrage of tests, confirmed it's just flu and nothing else more serious. This is great but I'm still sick as a dog. It appears that we originally caught one flu and now this is a second one, rather than a single 7-week flu. Will update as health permits.

Edit: 6 weeks now of flu, ugh! But word is that this is the bug going around, all over North America. Anyway, chipping away at this again. Hopefully will get caught up in the next few days.

Edit: Have been sick for the last month, yes a month, with what must be one of the nastiest flu bugs to hit the planet. And I'm still fighting it. Because of this long delay, my memory of the exact dates and locations will no doubt be a bit hazy. But thanks to the wonderful invention called a cell phone bill, I have a great point of reference and will be adding the appropriate posts to help track our progress. That'll help jog my memory as I post more pics.

As usual I'll be backposting them on the dates they were taken instead of today's date so that they make chronological sense. There's quite a bit to share so I'll continue to backpost as time allows. Enjoy!

Eastern Standard Time

Switching blog and camera to Eastern time (+3 hours), from original Pacific time.

Peterborough, Ontario - Sunrise

Our driveway and adjoining streets. Someone made a peace sign on the sidewalk.

Peterborough, Ontario - Snowstorm

As you can see, it's coming down just a little bit today! Hehe

Peterborough, Ontario - It's snowing harder!

Lots and lots of big puffy things falling from the sky!

It started really coming down! It's hard to capture how much there actually was because of the light conditions, but in the area around the street lamps it's easier to see. I never knew snowflakes looked quite like this, and that they could get so huge! They were about the size of quarters, and then there were long narrow ones over an inch long. I always thought they were just hexagonal, but actually it looked more like popcorn.
