Hilton Falls, Mon 29 May 2023, 8:45: 7.7 km, M/N

Sid led 21 hikers -- a recent high -- on one of Halton's better trails, shared today with many other groups. We were warned of mosquitoes, but they really only appeared when we stopped early on to apply repellent. Go figure!

Happy Anniversary, Sue & Tom!

Port Credit assorted flower shuffle, Thu 25 May 2023, 8:45 4.5 km. E/E, led by Tom

 The rhodos were just starting to appear, the azaleas were being shy and the tulips were mostly done, but it was a pleasant stroll regardless. 

The old gal is not what she used to be....

Hikers were promised tulips; they got tulips

 It may have been a little early for the Trilliums, but the Eastern Redbud made up for it.

Tic-tac-toe anyone?

The Trilliums in evidence were pink, not white
