I know there is wildlife in the Black forest – but I never seem to see any. That may be because there are always people on the trails. When walking in Ottawa’s urban forest it is not unusual to see many different animals. Small ones like squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and raccoons are common. There are […]
We take a break from our Black Forest series today because…. …it is voting day in Ontario. Voters are set to choose which of the three major parties will form the government. I will admit to not being all that excited. If we were still living in the province, I would probably have written extensively […]
A continuation of yesterday’s post, pictures taken in the hills around St. Ulrich.
Monday I gave you a taste of the paths around the Black Forest village of St. Ulrich. Today we walk the same paths, but with a much different view. On a hot day it is nice to be in the shade of the forest trees. But what makes the walk spectacular is the view when […]
Today I am featuring pictures taken Saturday afternoon during our walk through the Black Forest above St. Ulrich. My problem is deciding which ones to share today. The advantage to digital photography is that you can take hundreds of pictures with no regards to cost. That may be a disadvantage also – you don’t need […]
It was a beautiful Saturday, so I took the afternoon off work. It has been a while – it seems Saturdays there is always something that comes up that requires sitting at the computer or going out and doing something for someone. My wife said she had heard of a nice walk in the Black […]
Today just a few photos left over from yesterday’s post about Thursday’s event. I think my favorite is the people walking through the vineyard single file. By that point I had separated from the group.
When the group leader turned left at Sulzburg City Hall I knew it would be a longer than necessary walk. To get to St. Ilgen a right turn was required, at least if you wanted a direct route. Marching through the forest meant that my wife, who took the vineyard route, managed to be waiting […]
In Canada when there is a holiday approaching everyone knows it. Every store has a sign in the front door giving their holiday hours. Whether it is closing early Christmas eve, or just for the morning on November 11 to commemorate Remembrance Day, they want their customers to be informed well in advance, so they […]
Apparently I was wrong yesterday – today’s post isn’t longer. I do admire people with a sense of humour though. If I had seen this sign I would have thought it was a warning that knives, forks and cups were not permitted. I guess that means you would have to eat with your hands, but […]
