Winter River trail

I was hiking the Winter River Trail with 10 others this morning, it took two hours to do the full trail.
The fresh snow made some of the branches look like lace.

The Winter River as seen from where the log cabin is located.

A eagle flying over the river. Overcast at -4 when I was on the hike. Light snow again this evening.

Brookvale wood lot

This morning I was to the Brookvale wood lot and snowshoed the trail, takes about a hour.

A nice stand of pine that has had the limbs removed up to the 5 meter level.

A younger stand in this area. It was overcast at zero when I was out.
I was to Montague in the afternoon and to cards in the evening.

Ice and water photos

A lot more open water north of the North River bridge today.

Some ice pans were floating down river with the out going tide, the pans were breaking up as they hit the bridge piers. I had a meeting in the city after lunch so I cycled into Charlottetown. It was sunny at + 7 on the way home.
Late afternoon I took a walk though the ballfield woods, it had been a few days since I was though it. The creek is still frozen over at the foot bridge point but I could hear the water running.

Open water in harbour

Some ice pans floating in Ellen creek.

The Charlottetown is ice free other than for some ice pans floating near the shore.

The viewing stand from where I took photos of harbour, the snow really disappeared from the rain a couple days ago. Note the flag, a fair breeze blowing today.
Overcast at +2 with the wind, I was cycling around Charlottetown this afternoon logging 32 km for the trip.

A nice sunny day at +1. I spend the afternoon at the curling club, won 2, lost 3.
I was to cards in Hampshire and now watching the men's curling. I must remember to change the clocks.

North River

Open water on the north side of the North River bridge.

The ice is starting to thin out where the channel is located. Mostly sunny at 10.
Feels like spring, snow melting and lots of water running.
I was curling in the morning and cycling for a while in the afternoon, lots of water on the streets. The streets were much dryer yesterday.
