This portion of the Perth Road north of Westport has many sections of great beauty. |
|
Breakfast in the sun in early spring is nice, even if you have to move the table to find a sunny place. |
|
Early morning can present you with some striking colours here at Mesa Springs. Of course autumn colours enhance all the scenery in Eastern Ontario. |

December, 2004, brought a lot of freezing rain followed by sticky snow, more rain, and more snow. The result was a real winter wonderland in Frontenac County. This scene is from the sugar bush at Mesa Springs. 'The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep' Robert Frost . |

Sometimes winter storms cause severe damage. The white birch in this yard will recover, but right now many have limbs that are frozen to the ground. 'When I see birches bend to left and right Across the lines of straighter darker trees, I like to think some boy's been swinging them. But swinging doesn't bend them down to stay. Ice-storms do that. Often you must have seen them Loaded with ice a sunny winter morning' Robert Frost |

The contrasting leafy colours of the different trees enhance the autumn leaf show at Mesa Springs.

The spruce is a majestic tree. They are much better at thrusting away nature's efforts at destroying them. Nearby pine trees with this snowload suffered many broken limbs. |
|
Almost no leaves in the forest are as beautiful as the eastern red maple.

|
Milkweed is a horrible weed to have in your fields. It multiplies quickly. It has a long root that is difficult to kill with cultivation. But it does have its beauty, as seen in this photograph. |
|
This rural scene of maples on a hill is a familiar site across the rolling hills of Frontenac County. |
|
The pheasant is a beautiful bird. This pheasant arrived in our yard and stayed for a week or two. |
|
Temperatures plummeted and the ice and snow storm left its mark. In this case the mark was very pretty. |
|
Winter snow covers the ground protecting the vegetation and making a warm blanket for the little creatures. This snowy lane is a work of art. |
