Spring is about to arrive in Laurier Woods.
Last year’s growth still survives but the annual process of replacing it is just ready to begin.

In the Woods the trails wander
Among the trees and ponds, and so,
When trekking and the day is fair
The hard part is to know just where
To pause and sense the mood
That best expresses how one feels.
Around the bend one might fetch up
A memory,
A feeling.
Sad, happy, excited, nostalgic,
Put there in the mind
By past experience enjoyed,
Or missed, only to surface and make itself known.
Finally.

She has many tools.
She is unrelenting in Her progress.
Along the way to the inevitable result there is much beauty.

Laurier Woods is an area of bush and beaver ponds in our town. It is easily accessible and provides a “wilderness” experience on the edge of our metropolis. It is family friendly, small enough that getting lost is not an issue. With well maintained trails, even those in wheelchairs can experience at least some of the fun it has to offer.

Laurier Woods is a neat, easily accessible area in our town. Trails wind through maple and birch bush and beside wetland ponds kept full by beaver dams.
Forest Bathing combined with exercise and wildlife observation can be practiced by people of all ages.
A treat for the body and mind.
Recently I ambled along the trails and made photographs of whatever interested me.
These are a few of many that I made.

I’m just discovering Laurier Woods. It is a marvellous place.
Easily accessible, popular with birders and walkers (alone and with children and/or pets), the opportunity of get out in the bush and experience the joy is one of the neat things about living in North Bay.
Little things like this birch group present themselves around every corner.
A true gem.

Winter has bleached the bullrushes to brown.
Laurier Woods exists because forward thinking people have banded together to preserve this oasis in the middle of the city. Small improvements such as this walkway make it accessable to everyone.
