The first Trout Lily spotted this spring. Spring ephemerals are the opening act in the forest, lifting the spirits of hikers and pollinators. Also out are Colts Foot, Bloodroot, Snowdrops, Hepatica, and Trilliums are in bud.

Brilliant yellow trout lily flower: 3 petals splayed; 3 petals clasping.

Put away the skis, and got in first hike of the season. Over half of the #BruceTrail is closed due to #IceStorm damage and debris clean up. Got in 22 KM yesterday before the Sydenham section was “closed”.

Footpath through a cedar grove that is wet and shaded with pockets of lingering snow.

#FossilFriday Here is what mostly appears to be a fossilized Ruffles potato chip. I am unfamiliar with the history of the potato chip, but this may be a clue.

A distinct rippled fossil on the surface of a large rock. Maybe of a bivalve shell.

Damp weather and a quick freeze/thaw this week made for a good #WaterfallWednesday on the #BruceTrail

Found myself deep in the groove this week on the #BruceTrail This is part of the fascinating Boyd Crevice.
#hiking #outdoors #geology

A metre wide crevice with straight sides rising up 20 metres maybe. Dark stone, shaded, mossy, and fall leaves carpeting the floor

It’s incredibly peaceful here on this #SilentSunday when the equipment isn’t running. This is the view from “The Gap” (87M2G2QW+53) along the #BruceTrail in Milton, Ontario. #Hiking

From a very high lookout point along the Bruce Trail, this is a massive scale aggregate pit (quarry). In the foreground, there are five lanes where gravel trucks can get information from the office. In the background is a huge pile of gravel along with a gravel truck loading building that might be ten stories high! There are conveyors connecting the piles of gravel to this building. The site is closed down for the day so it’s very quiet here now.

Tiffany Falls in Ancaster, Ontario. One of numerous waterfalls around the Hamilton area. The beauty in nature is always a balm for the psyche.

There's a spot out on the Bruce Peninsula that not many folks know about. I stumbled upon it accidentally over a decade ago and have occasionally contributed to it. If you go into those woods today, you're in for a big surprise. Here's what @Knightky and I found this morning. 1/11 #TeddyBear #Plushies #HauntedForest #creepy #CreepyToy #CursedItem #BruceTrail #hiking #forest

A weathered, mouldy looking sloth stuffy clings to a tree in a forest.

A rotten stuffed toy nailed overhead to a maple tree.

Autumn leaves and moss. Hidden amongst the leaves are the remains of a white teddy bear. All the stuffing has been pulled out.

The unidentifiable, rotted remains of some sort of stuffed toy way up a massive maple tree.

The view from where @Knightky and I are staying this weekend, plus one bonus view from Lions Head Lookout. #Marina #view #Waterscape #cliffs #BruceTrail #BrucePeninsula #Ontario

A serene riverside scene featuring a wooden dock with reflections on the water. Colorful canoes are lined up along the dock, and a picnic table sits nearby. The sun is low in the sky, casting a warm glow.

A serene riverside scene featuring several wooden docks extending into calm water, with reflections of trees and buildings on the surface. The sky is clear and blue, and a few boats are moored on the dock. Green trees line the shoreline.

A scenic view featuring steep cliffs covered in green trees, overlooking a calm body of water. The sky is partly cloudy, with sunlight streaming through, creating a bright atmosphere.

“I am a rock I am an island.” Just happens to apply to two photos from yesterday.

A very large moss covered glacial erratic rock about 3 metres tall on a rather flat leaf covered forest floor.

An isolated triangular outcrop of a limestone cliff face rock. Capping it is a copse of trees living their best undisturbed life.

@chrisnelsonsdog Was here last Wednesday. Beautiful section (Georgian Bluffs) of #BruceTrail

A forested section of hiking trail at the bottom of a mossy limestone crevice.

Granddaughter and her Dad climbing up a steep section of the Bruce Trail yesterday. We're lucky that the trail is only a 30-minute hike from our house, connected by smaller paths just across the road.

A photo looking down a steep climb up a cliff on the Bruce Trail. There is a chain along the cliff face to hang onto, and large trees are growing out of the rocks. The total height of this section is approximately 50 metres.

Silent Sunday fall hike along the Bruce Trail. #hiking #brucetrail #btc #fall #Silentsunday

An old stone arch over a tributary of the credit river. Leaves are just starting to turn for the fall, but mostly still green.

Cody Taylor is getting ready to do what he calls "the ugly shuffle." Wearing a roughly 24-kilogram backpack carrying enough food and gear for 13 days, the runner leaves from Queenston, Ont., in Niagara on Friday. He's seeking to break a record for the fastest unsupported run along the over-900-kilometre-long Bruce Trail.

A footpath in the woods lined with forget-me-not plants in blue interspersed with bright yellow dandelions.

We are headed home now. So grateful I was able to hike to the lookout on such a beautiful day and have our lunch in peace. This little bird hung out with us. When we headed back, we met the crowds. We went at the best possible time, when we had the trail mostly to ourselves. #hiking #BruceTrail #BrucePeninsula #cliffs #GeorgianBay

A selfie of two people on a forest trail, a smiling woman with glasses and braided hair in the foreground, and a man in a printed t-shirt waving in the background. Trees with budding leaves suggest it might be springtime.

A bird perched high on a rocky ledge with a body of water in the background.

View of the Georgian Bay and a forest far below. From about 200’ up. The water is beautiful shades of blue turning to turquoise at the shallows.

Panoramic view of a clear blue lake from a rugged clifftop, with bedrock formations and forested edges under a wide, cloud-streaked sky.

The #spring ephemeral blossoms abound along the #BruceTrail this time of year celebrating the big thaw! These guys though, #fiddleheads, pop up and unfurl before you can blink. I did catch a few in my own back yard this week though and they were delicious.

3 prominent fiddleheads from a low angle with the forest behind.
