Better late than never??!!  At last - my pics from our Cobble Hill walk and lunch Dec. 22nd.  Got caught up in Christmas, but here we go.  -  DeNNis

Parked by the Cobble Hill  Off-leash dog park (Red box 020 - bottom left)  -  did the big loop as shown and ended up with lunch at the Cobblestone Pub.

Some artistic soul added decorations to some trees on the Dusk to Dawn Trail in Fairfield Road Park  -  Nice touch.

"Framed"

- in a web - 

"Neat toy - Let's play."

Scary creature in the "Dusk to Dawn" trail  -  somebody had to shinny up the tree a few feet to create this guy. 

Unique fence - needs some TLC though.

Gotta love that green at this time of year.

The highlight  --  Lunch at the Cobblestone Pub.

Better later than Denis than never.  Good weather again and good company as usual.  Not much in photo ops, but better a little than none.  Another enjoyable jaunt.  --  DeNNis.

The Yellow Brick Road again.  Ignore the brownish-purple lines.  They are clutter from various other trips showing "as the crow flies" in the car.  Started at the Legion (Red Flag 001).  GPS slow to pick up satellites so part of trace missing.  From behind the Legion down to the Haul Rd  -  went right, down to visit with Mr Ed the horse, but he wasn't there this time. So back the other way down the Haul Rd to the Alpaca farm.  Then back up through the various streets to return to the Legion.  As Denis said, we did this walk at a pretty good pace.

A cool, somewhat frosty morning - good weather for a brisk walk.

The circle of  Wisdom????

A unique imaginative sign near the alpaca farm.

The little park near the Weir.  No shortage of water at this time of year.

Thought I would throw in the Google Earth version as well.

The warnings of rain and winds held off and we enjoyed a 6.38 km country walk in the great fresh air. We did not see the many Rottweiler guard dogs this walk, but there were farms and other animals along the way. We stopped at an interesting Day Care where the children had their own raised garden beds on the property and two tepees near by. We came upon some attractive "Eggs For Sale " signs and found they were made by a YSAG member in our walking group. (picture below) Next walk on Dec 15th will be on Carlton Road. Meet at 10am. at the Legion.  VM

We are on our way
