Coming to this one late, but . . . .

Yesterday was nice and sunny, a balmy 8C! Here are a few from my old dog-walking haunts in the University’s eco reserve, about a ten minute walk, but now I have to drive, more’s the pity. I would like to have gone into the old woodlot (untouched except for research in the last 50 years), but it wouldn’t have been prudent ;-)

Most pictures are taken within the old nursery lot, where they used to nurture trees and shrubs for campus enhancement etc and I have to confess it took me more like 30 minutes than ten. It looks like it has been used as a community garden since I was last there, so all sorts of changes. Let’s start with the detritus of dreams gone by – you have to hope they were realised before time moved on.

And I wouldn’t have known if it hadn’t been for this challenge, so thanks for getting me out there Lesley.

It’s still March and the land is only just emerging from the freeze up, so although the snow has about gone, colours remain muted.

Like them all, Kaskazi

Thanks Judy - I like the guy with the big whiskers and the surprised look in his eyes!

Have not had any shutter time this week. I did take my grandson for a walk in the woods last weekend and hoping these will count. Some of the things we saw.

Acorns still hanging on

Glad to see the robbins yesterday - they've been back about a week. The ducks stay year-round and I'm sure they're glad to see a bit of open water - sorry for the telephoto only resting on car window (600 mm equivalent). Other birds were too far away. A few other pics around that place and then I'll finish off with a bit of the urban context as seen from there.

They let the no fishing sign rot, but they do take care of the important things, as you see - plus a large small print sign about by-laws, dogs etc.

Greenhouses used to be important to Biology Department, but I guess their focus has changed and not much goes on there anymore. The city gardening club has a place on the site too.
