rattlesnake

Went to the Rattlesnake Point Conservation Area this morning. A lovely place, less than 45 minutes west of Toronto (of course, if you're carelss enough to take the 401 back, the trip back takes twice as long because of the abominable, endless construction work) There are great hiking trails in the park and stunning views across the Nassagaweya Canyon. The place - at least mid-week - is marvelously quiet and I found my one hour there quite inspiring. I hiked for about 30 minutes, then sat down in a shady spot and practiced my guitar for a little bit. The brilliant sunny day and the breeze made me play better. I'll go again tomorrow if I have time and then definitely one more time later in the fall. The turning leaves and the colours will be stunning.
