Men's Walking Group

The weather warmed up for a pleasant walk around the Mill Bay, Mill Springs and Deer Park vicinities.  Lots of photo ops, especially nature ones.  Map and photos below.  --  DeNNis.

We parked behind Serious Coffee (top right) and did a counter-clockwise loop as shown.  Most of
the street names are readable on the map.  Finished with an enjoyable coffee at Serious Coffee.

John H., being from Alberta, always gets excited about snow

I'll just go a little further up and maybe they won't see me.

Don't move and nobody will notice me.

Different looking fungi growing here.

Big Leaf Maple starting from an old stump.

My version of this same water wheel when I lived across
from it about  2004 and it was actually working.
