5,000 km

I drove to Fredericton and then cycled to Kinkora, a nice sunny day a 10 with light wind, the wind generators in Kinkora were not turning.

This part of the trail is east of Emerald, still nice colour to the leaves.
On the ride today the odometer went passed the 5,000 km for the 2011 season.

Wood land trails

This afternoon I took a walk though the woods by the ball field.


There was a few trees that had blown down, so I had the chain saw with me and cleared the trail.

The saw is a small 35 cc one with a 16" bar.
Sunny, windy at a cool 4. I had breakfast with radio club members in morning and played cards in Hampshire this evening.

Beaver pond

These photos are of the beavers work in Breadalbane, these trees are on the north side of the trail, the pond is on the south so all the wood has to be moved across the trail.

This is the path from the trail to the pond, so they have made many trips on the path, the trail is about 4 - 5 meters higher than the pond.

The lodge is in the center of the pond behind the branches.
Rain all day, I am guessing 40+ mm, very windy in morning with a high of 16.
No cycling today.

Combine is soybean field.

It was a sunny day at 15, so with rain forecast for tomorrow the farmers were busy today. This is one of the three combines I saw today working in the soybean fields.

This beaver dam is in Breadalbane, this spring it seemed like the beavers had moved on, as the dam had opened and there was no pond. But they are back.
I cycled from Hampshire to Breadalbane and back this afternoon, about 45 km.

November 9

No photo today, mostly sunny with a high of 10. I donated plasma this morning and did some yard work in the afternoon. I attended a meeting this evening.

Confederation Trail

I cleaned off the garden and mowed the lawn this morning, then put the lawn mower away for the season. I got a ride to Cherry hill then with another TO cycled back to Winsloe, about 34 km.
Sunny with a high of 14 midafternoon. I was to the card play in warren Grove this evening.

Clouds

Location Hampshire, couple cyclists on trail and a clean cut off on the edge of the cloud cover.

This was taken around 5:00 looking west over the North River with the setting sun illuminating the cloud bottoms. if you enlarge the photo, you can see a lot of black spots in the clouds, they are a column of crows winging there way to Victoria to roost.
I visited neighbors this morning, then to the wood lot for a couple of hours. I went cycling at 2:30 and back at dusk logging 43 km. Mostly sunny at a high of 10.
