The fence is down and Nokiidaa Trail Link access is finally granted after many months of hard work. Without any notice, last weekend the boardwalk trail link was opened to the public. The Nokiidaa Trail link is now semi-officially linking the St. John’s Sideroad boardwalk to the Tim Taylor...
Last Friday, we walked to the McKenzie Marsh. It was late in the afternoon, but still sunny and bright. When we got closer to the boardwalk, we spotted a turtle heading for the road. This is the second time I have seen a turtle trying to cross the road,...
Last week, on a foggy night, we were driving on the St. John's Sideroad. I glanced to my right and noticed a big bird sitting on the very famous Cormorant tree (north side of St. John's Sideroad, east of the main observation deck). It was undoubtedly an Osprey, the...
For those who do not have the chance to follow the progress of the Nokiidaa Trail Link through the marsh, I thought I would post a few images. This is also a follow-up from the previous post about the work in progress, ‘Nokiidaa Trail Link Through the McKenzie Marsh...

Roadkill or Roadkill Not

I consider Canada goose to be very lucky not to be the 'roadkill' on the St. John's Sideroad. They move freely from one side of the street to the other, and cars honk their horns and actually stop for them to pass. Why not the same privilege for the...
It was a two-hour trip back and forth to the McKenzie Marsh boardwalk. Spring is finally here. The pond was filled with all kinds of animals and birds. On this single trip, I noted the arrival of the Great blue heron. The Canada goose have been here for a...
The inspiration to write this post today came from reading Christopher Watts's latest post, ‘Weekly Inspiration: The Little Engine That Could’. My post has nothing to do with little engines, but it relates to how wonderful little minds are. Sitting side by side, we finished our breakfast – eggs,...
Today was probably my third or fourth time tracking (photographing) progress of the Nokiidaa Trail link that will soon connect the St. John’s Sideroad boardwalk to the Tim Taylor Newmarket trail, and of course, will complete the Town of Aurora section of the Nokiidaa Trail. From the beginning of the...
