This week, the colours of the deciduous trees have been remarkable. We took a drive to check out the variations. We started in Middleton, along the Middle Road (a favourite bicycle ride — read post People of Place).
At Lawrencetown, we turned onto the Trout Lake road, before taking the Inglisville Road along the slope of South Mountain. This dropped us back on Highway #201, outside of Paradise. The final leg was the Leonard Road to the foot of North Mountain.
I took photographs with my iPad. A better strategy would be to have a movie camera attached to the front of the car. Combine with a GPS, mapping the route.
We returned to Middleton, via the Clarence and the Brooklyn Road.
Another remarkable feast of colour is Riverside Park, Middleton, just follow the ‘heart’ of Red Maple trees.
An Act of Kindness
This lunchtime, Rob and Sinead came to our house in Middleton with their four young children. They dropped off a bag of apples picked from the orchard, on Highway 201 in Paradise. They purchased Andrew’s house and orchard, a couple of years ago. We have fond memories of managing the orchard (read previous post Lessons from the Move).
The apples from the orchard were used to produce Hunter Brandy, by Ironworks Distillery, Lunenburg (see previous posts Naturally Rooted; Hunter’s Brandy, Bushel Boxes, and Guided Walk).
“I took photographs with my iPad. A better strategy would be to have a movie camera attached to the front of the car. Combine with a GPS, mapping the route.”
That reminds me. I still have an eight-hour video taken from the dash of my car along the route of the 8oo km, 2008 international unicycle race “Ride the Lobster” (Yarmouth to Baddeck). It’s never seen the light of day. I was thinking of how to mesh that video to a google/Esri story map.
