Helps me warm up on a cool day.

The La Vase Portage Conservation Area is a neat place to visit. The trail passes beaver ponds while winding through mixed woodland and includes a nice stand of mature birch trees.
The snow is mostly gone, the ice is off the ponds.
Yesterday, this pond was waiting for the warmth of spring.
A week from now the greens will be well established and the activities of nature will have resumed.
For now, quiet and calm reign.

There is a pond beside Hwy 11 that looks just great in the fall.

Driving North up the Bypass you pass a couple of ponds.
At 115 Km/h there is not much time to look at them but this is what many missed yesterday afternoon on the way back up from Callander.

A friend has a lovely little water feature on her farm. The little pond is teeming with small leopard frogs watched over by a benevolent Frog Lord who she created.
The kids enjoy watching and counting the small creatures in this quiet corner.

There is a pond at the old monastary, now part of Nipissing University.
On a calm morning it is quite tranquil. The greens of spring are just appearing.
