Getting Back To Healthy Walks

The weather was perfect for a walk with nature so we chose to go back to the Riverside Drive area of London where Wendy grew up.

We parked off Riverside Drive near the CNR railway overpass and  headed down an old roadway to the river.

The path was beside the main rail line which still carries freight and passengers to points east and west.

 

No rust on these rails as they are burnished smooth by many trains every day.

It looks like some ambitious beaver was planning to dam up the Thames River.

This huge tree is now destined  to fall.

Everywhere along the river Spring was bursting forth.

We trekked along west on the riverbank to where Wendy used to live at 438 Riverside Dr.

This spring we have had very little rainfall or winter snow-melt so the river water was running clear and the water levels were fairly normal.

The camera doesn't do justice to the lushness of the new vegetation.

A passenger train #71, (Toronto to Windsor) roars past at 120 km/hr.

Thanks to the COVID-19 lockdown we met no other people on our walk. Oh, and possibly this was also because of the locked gate and railway NO TRESPASSING signs.
