Cars

This photo taken on a back street of the new industrial park of the Upton road. The field between the street and the river has become a unofficial dog park.
Sunny breaks with cloudy periods at +1 I was curling this morning and out cycling around the city this afternoon, logging 30 km.

Snowshoeing Strathgartney park

I was snowshoeing the park this morning with a group of snowshoers from Cornwall
A bit of light snow on the trees made for a nice trail, overcast at -3.

The Bonshaw river which was totaled frozen three weeks ago now is fully open.

Light snow

A light snow fall early this morning, no wind so it stuck on the trees. As soon as the sun came out it was gone.

I was out on the snowshoes for a hour. It was overcast at -2, the sun was trying to shine though the clouds but no luck. I had a pivot strap break on one snowshoe so ended carrying the snowshoe home. I replaced the strap this evening so it is ready to go in the morning.
I took the GPS unit with me and the trail I normally walk on near home is 3.7 km long and my Avg moving speed was 4.4 km/h.

Charlottetown harbour

I cycled around Charlottetown this afternoon, the channel is open in the harbour.

This photo was taken at the foot of Prince Street, a lot of open water showing here as well.

This is the north side of the North River bridge, still some ducks making use of the open water.
It was overcast at +4 when I was cycling, watching the men's curling this evening.

Soy beans

Still lots of soy beans in these pods, I am surprised the some of the birds that over winter are not eating them.

These beans that were not harvested were in a wet spot in the field.
I was out on the snow shoes for a hour after lunch. Now watching mens curling.
Over cast this morning, rain started late afternoon and it is +2 as I post this.

first cycling day in March

It was sunny around the zero mark as I started cycling, but clouded up and cooled down a couple of degrees before I got home. The road spray was freezing on the bike and by the time I got home the shifter cable wouldn't shift. I logged 30 km.

Photos are of the ducks at Ellen creek Charlottetown.

fresh snow

I was out on the skis for 90 minutes mid afternoon. Only my skis tracks in the snow in this large field.

Lots of traffic on the trail near Eliot park. The ski tracks where someone else's.

A nice sunny day with a few clouds at - 7 with a bit of a east wind.
I spend the morning at a meeting. No curling today.
