Last night we were treated to an incredible sunset Last night we were treated to an incredible sunset. Had to run out in the cold to snap a photo at our local pond. ❤️ No filter on this beauty! Love it when we find beautiful skies and see everyone from all over North America posting visions of the same sky. #sharedexperiences #wintersunset #wintersunsets #wintersunset🌅 #wintersunsetsarethebest #wintersunsets🌅 #wintersunset❄️ #wintersunsetsky #winterskyline #winterskye #winterskys #sunsetreflections #sunsetreflectiononwater #sunsetreflectionsonthewater #sunsetgram #sunsetcolors #perfectsky #coulds #sunsetlover🌅 #sunsetphotos #sunsetofinstagram #amazingsunset #sunset_capture #sunsetclouds #tincancottage #skypics #oakvillesunset #oakparkoakville #oakvilleontario #nofiltersunset

We are disappointed we haven’t been able to get out on our new snowshoes or cross country skiing. That said, winter hikes are still beautiful! The only thing that stops you from getting outside is not dressing right for the weather!

The hundred of fine filament milkweed seeds from t The hundred of fine filament milkweed seeds from these “body snatcher” looking pods springs hope for monarch butterflies. About six years ago, we planted a bunch of milkweed around the ponds in our neighbourhood, and thankfully, there are lots of plants in the long grass patches around the park now. It was a great naturalist project to do with our daughter and we tried this again a couple years ago with purple cone flowers and black eyed susans. Those seeds (we think) were eaten by mice and we need to try gorilla gardening them again this spring. Has anyone else made seed bombs or wildflower planning around them? With such a mild winter here, we’re dreaming of springtime. #milkweed #milkweedformonarchs #gorillagardening #wildflowers #wildflowermeadow #milkweedseeds #monarchmigration #milkweedseeds #winterwildflowers #naturalistproject #nativewildflowers #urbanplanting #naturelovers #naturallandscaping #tincancottage #oakvilleontario #oakvilleparks #doagoodturndaily #environmentalism #helpingnature #wildflowerplanting #stopmonoculture #bringbacknature #monarchbutterflyhabitat #monarchbutterflygarden #wildflowerseeds #getbacktonature #itsthelittlethingsthatmatter #carefornature #doingourpart
“Poke Around” Nothing evokes an eye roll for o “Poke Around” Nothing evokes an eye roll for our daughter as fast as this expression from her parents whenever we visit a new town, and she asks, “What are we going to do?” We love learning about the history of new places we visit on trips and holidays. Local downtown shops, restaurants, museums, parks and walking tours are the best. In all honesty, she does have a good time exploring with us, as it often includes discovering a sweet shop. For instance, Collingwood used to be a large ship manufacturing area that reached its production height during the second world war, and one of Ontario’s most famous ferries was built in this yard - The @mschicheemaun The former yards are now residential communities; however, there are artifacts in the adjacent parks that pay homage to its history. From the pier over the water, you can see the Blue Mountain ski hills in the distance. #winterskys #collingwood #collingwoodontario #collingwoodlife #tincancottage #pokingaround #collingwoodshipyards #ontariohistory #localhistory #localhistorymatters #shippropeller #shipbuildinghistory #formershipyard #collingwoodhistory #georgianbay #collingwooddowntown #collingwoodterminals #exploreontario #discoverontario #ontario_adventures #discoveron #yourstodiscover #exploreontario🇨🇦 #travelontario #ontariotravel #brucegreysimcoe #visitontario #greycountytourism #greycounty #historygeeks

With the limited travel we had last year, we also didn't have the chance to explore new conservation areas and parks on weekend adventures. We’re looking forward to lake views, campfires and hiking trails. What do you love best about travelling?

It's interesting to observe it from different angles. Clearly, the wind had whipped through the forest from the west, knocking down several trees all in line with each other.

Thankfully; this did not include Colin spraining his ankle like he did last year 😆 The trails were very icy; however, our stocking stuffer gifts of crampons were a perfect solution. We threw them in the backpack just in case the trails were slippery. They worked amazingly well! Solid sure-footed grip on the ice. While others were slowly shuffling along the trail, we could walk full stride with confidence.
