no logos


The near absence of text and branding seems to create a weird displacement - feels like a set or a dream.

If you can brave the mosquitoes which are here now, you can find some nice lilac groves and other signs of late spring along the Radial Trail.

stump and bracket fungus






Taken here - along the trails of The Kinghurst Nature Reserve - these bracket fungus seem like a bouquet of shells arcing out from a decaying stump.

wild blue phlox


The Krug Forest in the Kinghurst Nature Reserve is the largest old growth forest in southern Ontario.
360 acres in size with trees up to 300 years old.
As well as numerous trilliums at this time of year there are other spring wildflowers such as this phlox - also saw a couple of blue herons.
