This waterfall is the highlight of the conservation area, located in the picturesque hamlet of Belfountain, Ontario Canada.
These Polish Konic ponies were bred from the original European wild horse. In thisSussex RSPB reserve they are used to conserve the heathland and keep short areas of Purple moor grass which is important for birds such as the woodlark, tree pipit and nightjar for feeding and nesting. They are well adapted to living in the wild, foraging any available foods according to the seasons.

Description of the District
The Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District is bounded by Sydenham, Melville, Cross and Victoria Streets in the former Town of Dundas, now the City of Hamilton. The district consists of 49 properties. These properties are predominantly single family dwellings with the exception of three churches.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
According to the Cross-Melville Heritage Conservation District Study - Background Report the cultural heritage value of the district lies in its historical and associative value, design or physical value as well as the contextual value. The Background Report concludes:
“The Cross-Melville area constitutes a superb collection of buildings with particularly fine architectural attributes. Tree planted along the streets enhance the surroundings of individual buildings and provide expansive canopies over adjacent streets. Developed in the 1840s and 1850s as the first exclusively residential area distinct from the commercial and industrial locales of Dundas, this neighbourhood is associated with numerous prominent citizens, mayors and councillors, including George Rolph, William Notman, Alexis Begue and the Grafton family”.

Louth Conservation Area is one of the most well kept secrets of the Niagara Region. It is located in Lincoln County along the 16 Mile Creek off of Staff Avenue, just north of the Staff Estate Winery. The area is geologically important as it contains many valleys and rock formations as well as two waterfalls and is part of the Niagara Esarpment.
In 1973 the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority purchased the segment of land known as the Louth Conservation Area. Since then, a portion of the Niagara Escarpment has been preserved by the Louth Conservation Area. Louth also contains many historic rock formations.
The two waterfalls and multiple rock formations make Louth Conservation Area geologically significant. The first waterfall is known as the upper falls and plummets 3.66 meters. The second waterfall, known as the lower falls is larger and plummets 7.92 meters. These features of the area are made possible because of its location along the Niagara Escarpment.
There is a variety of wildlife in the Louth Conservation Area. In the fall months there have been multiple deer sightings as well as migratory bird sightings. In addition, Louth Conservation Area houses old growth forest.

Red-cockaded Woodpecker (Dryobates borealis)
Francis Marion National Forest, South Carolina, U.S.A.
A Red-cockaded Woodpecker clings to a longleaf pine, momentarily pausing from his relentless drilling.
The Endangered Species Act (ESA) has played a crucial role in the survival of the Red-cockaded Woodpecker in the Southeastern United States. Since its listing as an endangered species in 1973, federal protection has facilitated active conservation efforts, including habitat restoration and management on federal lands such as national forests and military installations. I've seen firsthand the positive impact of this protection on numerous Army installations across the American Southeast. As a result of these efforts, this species has been downlisted from "endangered" to "threatened," marking a major milestone in its recovery.

So far I have gathered that Amari is smart and a bit of a thinker. Also he seems be very determined and knows exactly what he wants and how he wants to do it.
On the flip side of that, he doesn't stray too far from his keeper, so he is still very timid but growing in confidence each time I have seen him.
I have to laugh at him when he bolts back into his den. It is like he is running inside to tell mum and dad (Misty & Milo) about all the people looking at him or that he has to tell them that he climbed the rocks without falling....

Excerpt from uwaterloo.ca:
Description of the District
St. Clair Boulevard Heritage Conservation District runs along St. Clair Boulevard between Delaware Avenue and Cumberland Avenue. The district consists of 38 residential properties.
Cultural Heritage Value of the District
The Heritage Conservation District Planning Background Study and Plan discuss the value of the district:
“The St. Clair Park survey, registered in 1911, was one of a number of residential surveys laid out in Hamilton’s east end just after the turn of the century, a boom period for residential construction throughout the City. The St. Clair Park Survey formed part of a middle to upper class residential area comprising a number of surveys, which extended from King Street East to the foot of the escarpment and from Wentworth Street South to Gage Park.
As was common practice in Hamilton at the time, the St. Clair Park Survey has building restrictions in the form of restrictive covenants registered on deed to the lots. Restrictions on the cost, construction and setback of the house account to a large extent for the cohesive character of St. Clair Boulevard’s urban streetscape.
While the restrictive covenants associated with the St. Clair Park Survey has building restrictions on its social make-up, the social composition of St. Clair Boulevard was nevertheless very homogenous, comprising middle to upper-middle income families of Anglo-Saxon origins. In the course of its history the boulevard has attracted some of Hamilton’s most prominent citizens; notably, he well-known and highly-respected judge, William F Schwenger and the successful construction company manager, Ralph W. Cooper. The Boulevard is also noteworthy for its social stability, owning to the long-term residence of most of the homeowners and
continuous use of the houses as single-family dwellings”.
Designation of the District
The designation of St. Clair Boulevard was initiated by local residents following the designation of the adjacent St. Clair Avenue district. According to the Background Study and Plan, “a petition requesting designation of the area...signed by all 37 homeowners, was presented to LACAC at its December meeting
and was supported by this committee”.
The St. Clair Boulevard Heritage Conservation District is protected by By-law 92-140, passed in 1992.

Bright Eyes
Song by Art Garfunkel
Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
