Westminster Ponds Trail Run
Well it is time for another visual tour of my run. This time, I hit the trails at Westminster Ponds in London, Ontario. The curious thing is that it is listed as an “environmentally significant area.” What a strange term to use. I wonder if they call the mall down the road a “commercially significant […]

Komoka Running Tour
Komoka Provincial Park is a beautiful place to go for a walk or a nice trail run. It is located along the Thames River, just outside of London, Ontario, Canada. I’m not sure why it is considered a provincial park since it really only offers a nice trail. There aren’t any facilities here at all. […]

Running Passed the Farms
I decided to go for a run out in the boonies. I was visiting a friend up in farm country and he told me of a trail not too far away from his house. So I took my camera, laced up my running shoes, and hit the road. Not all of the streets here have […]

The Power of Nature
We’ve had a lot of rain in the past few days. That’s the explanation for why this tree fell over. I talked to someone who saw it happen. He said, “The ground was so soft it just fell over.” Of course, this was a huge tree and as it came crashing down, it took out […]

Drug Mart Sign Confusion
There’s something strange about this sign. I drove past it the other day and turned into the small plaza. I went to the A&P to get a few groceries and then I walked over to the drug store. At the check out, I tried to use my Optimum Points Card. The cashier asked if I […]

Beamer Memorial Run Tour
It’s time for another installment of my Visual Running Tour. This time I drove up the escarpment near my mother’s house and ran at Beamer Memorial Conservation Area. I had never been there before and looked forward to a great exploration and a great run. Isn’t it a shame that you need signs warning you […]

Princess Point Run
When I was in high school, our cross country meets were often held at Churchill Park. This park has soccer fields and a large open green space. It’s the perfect place to host several high school teams. This park is in the Westdale neighbourhood and connects to some beautiful trails. This was always one of […]

Waterfront Trail Run
This is the second time I’ve done this. I went for a run and took my camera along. I stopped every few minutes to take a picture. Here is a visual tour of my run through the Waterfront Trail in Grimsby. I started off the run right out the front door of my mom’s house. […]

A New Cereal on the Bookshelf
I think I’d like to try this cereal. The box really sells the product. Too bad it doesn’t exist. It was made up by one of my students as part of an assignment. She did an excellent job on it. The assignment was to create a cereal based on a book. The students needed to […]

A Visual Tour of My Run
I had the chance to visit a friend’s cottage on the weekend. It was nice. There weren’t any paved roads there and my friend told me that even the airport had a dirt runway. So I laced up my running shoes and did something I don’t normally do. I took my camera along on my […]
