It seems like I haven’t written here forever, probably because it’s true. I’m enjoying March  Break. I’ve said this many times, but I think spring has finally arrived, and I mean it this time. I was walkng to my friend’s house the other day and I actually took of my jacket because it was so warm. That doesn’t happen in winter, and I’m not complaining. I love warm weather.

Last Sunday I went up to Binder Twine Park in Kleinburg, yet again. I love that park, even after walking its trails at least a dozen times. As an understatement, I’ll say that the trail/park/area was a bit too muddy for my tastes. I should have worn boots, but since it was warm, I decided to wear old sneakers with small holes at the side. Bad idea. As a consequence I didn’t walk the whole path because  I could feel my socks getting wet, and I knew it wasn’t from water.

I snapped a few photos to add to my Binder Twine Park Photos collection. The photos lack much life or color, I know. The park felt pretty damn dead when I was walking through it. At least in winter, the whiteness of the snow made it all “Winter Wonderland”-like. In March, that snow has melted and not-so-green grass is revealed. Along with a hell of a lot of mud. The only significant color in these photos is blue, because the sky is very reliable.

Check out the photos. A dead park has some nice finds.

Following up with my late summer and fall photo albums, I’ve now uploaded some winter photos into my photo gallery. Check out the rest of the seasonal photos of Binder Twine in the gallery, too.

These were taken yesterday, when I ventured up to Binder Twine Park, bringing my trusty camera with me to take some photos of Binder Twine and snow. Good thing I brought gloves and boots and a hat, because it was cold and there was snow and it was snowing on and off. There was a little bit of ice too, but that was surprisingly a trivial matter.

Binder Twine park is a park in Kleinburg, Ontario, near the McMichael Art Gallery. (And by near, I mean right next to) I’d estimate it has about 20km worth of trails in and around it. I’ve spotted turtles, birds, fish, and even deer in there. Humber River flows through Binder Twine, and it more or less follows the main trail in the park.

I used to go to Binder Twine for a 10km walk every Sunday, but that habit gets overridden when winter comes. After all, my cozy house seems like a nicer-not to mention warmer- way to spend a Sunday morning than out trekking in negative who knows what weather? But I’ve missed that park and the sound of the flowing river and the daunting tall trees, so I went back yesterday. I’m glad I did. It was a good way to start off the new year, doing something less lazy than usual. A cold way, but a good way.
