I love a brilliantly foggy morning almost as much as a spectacular sunset, and today was one of those mornings. The problem is that sunrise is early. Today, however, my night nurse happened to notice I was awake and that the sky needed to be witnessed.
Ingrid, the mastermind behind this whole adventure, took the first photo. It's facing out a window the same direction as the one in my hospice room. The window immediately faces a support building that houses things like the emergency generator, and is surrounded by staff parking. Trees surround the lot, all are hidden by the thick, beautiful fog. It was mesmerizing.
The third photo is the same window, just closer to see more of the tree and park around the parking lot.
The second photo is my nursing team for the day. It's unusual for me to be up early enough to see everyone at the same time.
A short (hopefully) daily video about what's going on in hospice. Today, some edited selfies from the past few days. Today's rambling video in the comments.
Saint-Louis Mission National Historic Site is located in Tay Township, Ontario, just outside of Midland, Ontario. It consists of a monument, two plaques, and a small area of cut grass in a forest. Nearby is a monument to an early Anglican Church. I visited sites in Tiny and Springwater as well, but none had much worth talking about.
Its another road trip day! I'm traveling through Severn Township today.
OPP Museum
I visited the Ontario Provincial Police Museum at the OPP Headquarters in Orillia, Ontario. I was unsure about making this stop, but it was free and only a few kilometers out of my way. You are visiting the HQ, so your information is logged into their systems and you must present photo ID. There was a sign encouraging you to take photos, but I didn't see it until my way out, so I have nothing from inside the museum to share.
Antiques on 11N
Antiques on 11 North is one of my regular junk store stops. Its weird going to them, because I used to leave with the exact sort of things I'm trying to get rid of now, but its still enjoyable
Swing Bridge Foundations, Highway 11 at Trent-Severn Waterway
This is the former site of a swing bridge. Its a prety spot to stop for a picnic, but Highway 11 makes it a bit loud.
Limestone Outcrop on Cambrian Road
I didn't record a video at Lock 42 Couchiching because I intended to record one at #43, but that didn't work out. This is either the Gull River formation (the same one as at Burleigh Falls) or the Bobcaygeon formation, both are limestone and both are exposed near this location.
Big Chute Marine Railway
I've returned to the Big Chute Marine Railway (#44) because Lock #43 Swift Rapids is reachable by water only. This is hinted at on the Trent-Severn Waterway webpage, but not explicitly stated. I had plans to continue to the final lock, #45 Port Severn, but the locks aren't operating anymore and the washrooms are closed, so its time to head home.
