In the Trees

Candace — Thu, 18 Sep 2008 12:19:51 +0000

Windsor still has a bit of green space left. On the far west side, bordering Lasalle, Ojibway Park is home for this deer. If you’re quiet (and lucky) you could see it too. For anyone interested in bringing home some green, Ojibway is having their annual native tree and plant sale this Saturday. Contact the centre for more details.

NEO at Marketown

Candace — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:57:00 +0000

Last Saturday morning I headed over to Windsor Crossing to check out the opening of Marketown, a new outdoor market not far from home. I’d pictured a market reminiscent of Toronto’s St. Lawrence but it’s not quite there yet. At 10am there were no veggies yet only a yogurt stand and one jewellery stand but at 10:30 Natural Earth Organics was set up and I managed to pick up some eggplant, peppers, and beans (and ogle the heritage tomatoes). I try to buy local, fresh, and organic and this made it easy.

The website says they’ll be open weekends until November 2 from 10am to 6pm. I’m hoping more farmers will decide to sell their produce here.

A Total Lunar Eclipse

Candace — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 13:12:37 +0000

Last night, February 20th, 2008, a lunar eclipse was visible to nearly a billion people in the Western Hemisphere, more than 1.5 billion in Europe and Africa, and about another half-billion in western Asia.

The skies were clear here making the show a great one for Windsorites. It was very cool (and literally icy cold) standing outside in pajamas watching the progress.

Ojibway Park Squirrel Food

Ojibway Park is on the extreme west side of Windsor, at 5200 Matchette Road. There are trails and a visitor’s centre with wonderful and knowledgeable naturalists. There’s also a pond with a bridge. It all makes wonderful photo opportunities of nature, animals, and people out for a good time. Admission to the park is free.

Prickly Prickles

Beware the prickles. They stick to your socks, cling to your pants, and tie themselves in your hair.

With the leaves gone from the branches it’s a bit easier to spot them — and Windsor parks are loaded with these. Keep in mind though that when they’re dry like this they’re also more likely to grab hold of you.

Are these the sort that Eeyore ate?

More Red Leaves

More red leaves today. This picture is only a few days old so if you make it out to Lasalle, Ontario, you might still find this tree.
