The sun is causing more trees to be brave despite the cool temperatures of late.

No Trespassing

No kidding!

Why one might want to do so is an open question.

Spring is Coming

Given the reluctance of spring to arrive, it is encouraging to see this:

Brave trees are putting out leaves.

This is the only time this year that the delicate greens of new leaves will be visible.  Soon enough they will turn the darker green of summer.

North Bay Harbour

The development of the North Bay Waterfront required the construction of a sheltered harbour for small craft.  Rock that had been excavated when the NORAD underground site was built was moved from near Trout lake to the waterfront and dumped into Lake Nipissing to form the breakwall in the photograph.

The small boat marina has spaces for 250 craft.

Nipissing History

The old Chief Commanda served as a cruise boat on Lake Nipissing for many years.  It is now dry-docked on the waterfront and serves as a restaurant and fresh pickerel market.

It was replaced by the “New Chief” in about 1974.

Playground

Primary colours in the playground:

This slide is pretty high if you are only a foot and a half tall.

And it’s a long way across this bridge too!

The colours add to the excitement when you’re 3.

Or 33.

You wouldn’t expect to find fish here.

Did you bring your rod?
