The colours were beginning to fade, and I wanted to get maximum use out of my season parking pass, so I set my alarm clock and headed out to East Duffins Headwaters to catch the sunrise. It was chilly and low cloud threatened to block the sunrise I was hoping for, but I took off anyway knowing that my new plus battery let me stay up longer. Glad I did.
East Duffins Headwaters is a protected natural area on the Oak Ridges Moraine near Uxbridge. A mixed deciduous and coniferous forest, it serves many important environmental functions, including: providing habitat and food supply for a variety of birds and wildlife, improving air quality by producing oxygen, cleaning the water entering Duffins Creek and replenishing ground water storage, and limiting potential floods.
