Hi all, I'm not doing too well but still want to take the time to document a recent day that made me very happy...
We went for another family walk 馃檪 This time to a trail that I am quite familiar with, it used to be one of my favourite spots to go to when I was in high school. Although it's a rather active trail with plenty of joggers and dogs, it is still magical enough that you can find secret secluded spots -- regardless of how many people are there.
For example: this spot 鈽濓笍 It's a calm little river that eventually cascades into a waterfall.
Here's a photo of one foot of the waterfall that I took nearly 6 years ago! 馃槺 Let's see if my photo skills improved at all LOL
Here's the bottom of the waterfall, along with our oldest and her Daddy over 2 years ago now...
And here she is today, along with her baby sister 馃グ
We carried on, where we eventually came to some moss, and as you will eventually come to understand about me -- I love moss 馃槏 I dunno what it is about it man, just a tiny, cute, fuzzy lil' ecosystem~
A close-up of my girl, yaaaasss!~ this is why we live! 馃お
Ahem! ....Moving on, to the second waterfall on the trail. Another spot that we are quite familiar with; my husband and I did a little photoshoot at the base about 2 years ago...
As we continued further down the trail, we came to a spot surrounded by stone wall on either side. From my understanding there used to be a train track that ran through the mountain. Hence why it is called The Radial Trail.

Here is an old photo of what this trail used to look like over 100 years ago! Amazing to think that when we walk past these rocks we're walking through history!
Aside from that, we uncovered a lot of interesting things along the way! For example: a wasp's nest 馃悵
(Sorry for the quality 馃槄)
As well as a tree that had fallen over! 馃く Beavers are residents here in Canada, but none live in this immediate area. Perhaps a strong gust of wind??
This is the Cross of Lorraine. It used to overlook the city in its neon red light. The Cross was associated with a hospital that was there at the time, a hospital specifically to treat patients with tuberculosis. The hospital has since been demolished, and the Cross no longer shines...
