ARBORETUM IS A TREE TREAT EVEN IN ICY SNOW



The arboretum is an untouched canopy of thousands of trees for you to walk among – no matter the season. Today, despite the icy trails, I made my way into the forest to photograph the various tree formations and skyline with its blue and blurry sun mirage peering through.




I traveled along the new 4-kilometre trail well marked and soon to open once snow falls formidably. This picturesque wide path is actually a cross-country-skating trail. 



                                                         Wax those skis!





Enjoy the various tree-intricate photos below. No matter the conditions, here the magic has its own seasonal effect. Uprooted trunks take on a  diverse sculpted form. Nothing surpasses nature's own art.

SUPER GRID (Directed by Lowell Dean) ***


A kind of Blade Runner takes on a disease that is wiping out the world. The jacks and the mob control things, but the Campbells, two brazenly brave edgy brothers who lost their own sister in a run ordered by the mob, decide to deal with the mob’s head honcho once and for all. As luck would have it, they find three vials that provide the cure for the disease. Will they manage to hold onto them, their lives and save others? A gritty Canadian film with great special effects and violence that is not over the top. WolfCop star, Leo Fafard takes on yet another futuristic apocalyptic heroic role. Not a dull moment in this grid.
