Sydenham in Frontenac County is where the 300 km Rideau hiking trail connecting Kingston and Ottawa along the 202 km Rideau Canal Waterway system (National HIstoric Site) intersects the NE–SW oriented 104 km Cataraqui Trail (multi-use rail trail) between Strathcona and Smiths Falls. Following this ride I met a snowmobiler (no, he wasn't out on his machine) who said that the trail is broken in Strathcona by the paper mill, but it actually runs to Napanee. The official trail map doesn't include that portion, so I don't know its true status.
Our client asked for a show-car garage, pool house, exterior kitchen, loft, home office and bathroom. We were able to ground this multi-purpose structure by pulling key exterior features from their home. By adding a circular portico this building has a flair that is unique to the home, and a contrasting, yet anchoring relationship to the new pool. | Chase Building Group | www.chasebuildinggroup.com
Inglewood General Store, 15596 McLaughlin Road, Inglewood, ON, L7G 1N1. We always stop here for an ice cream cone, but were a week too early this time. Apparently they have the main ice cream freezer only in the summer. Very neat store though with home baked cookies and superb Planet Bean coffee, which is Fair Trade certified. The Caledon Trailway, an operating CPR rail line, and McLaughlin Road (a.k.a. Division Street here) all cross at this location.
Little Credit River bypassing an old beaver dam beside the Caledon Trailway (see link to Yahoo! map below the photo and to the right). Other relevant maps include this map of watersheds within the Regional Municipality of Peel, and this map of the Ken Whillans Resource Management Area (although this dam is likely just off the top of the latter).
The Kate Pace Way, another handle bar shot travelling south on the trail from North Bay towards Callander.
In my opinion, the last four or five kilometers (from which this and the previous pictures have been taken) are the nicest on the trail and certainly as nice a spot as you will find on a bike trail anywhere in Canada or beyond.
After putting about 1500 miles on an exercise bike since December, and leaving about 45 lbs behind, I thought it time to take my legs out on the road.....
Old trail marker to northeast of McLaughlin Road. Note trail in background with fence to dissuade motorized vehicles and to support signs. Left to right the signs are a Caledon Trailway logo, a Trans Canada Trail logo, and a sign identifying McLaughlin Road and kilometrages along the trail, which follows an abandoned Canadian National Railway line.
Sunday we walked 5km along the Esquimalt & Nanaimo Rail Trail from Hallowell Road northwest to Helmcken Road. The plan was to walk northbound along the trail to see how work is progressing at Dunsmuir's Cut at the Four Mile railway bridge.
Work is proceeding at an exponential rate since we were there two-weeks ago. What a fine job of engineering and workmanship the contractor is producing in the course of completing this 10-mile (16km) long, multi-use trail beside the E&N railway tracks.
It was another beautiful, spring-like day in Victoria at a sunny, 11°C (52°F). We topped our outing off with lunch at the Four-Mile Pub (with pictures-to-prove-it).
The crowded lakes here are multiuse... a sailboat enthusiast launched this radio-controlled boat while I was observing the waterfowl. Being an old sail boater myself, I appreciated the difficulty of the controller trying to navigate through this moving throng. I would suppose the birds simply moved out of the way and showed minimal interest in this intruder.

Today we walked 6km roundtrip along the Westsong Walkway from half way up Harbour Road thru to Head St. beside West Bay Marina.
Pedestrians and cyclists have a new 34 metre long and five metre wide overpass as part of the overall Johnson Street Bridge project. The steel span goes over Esquimalt Road, near Harbour Road and the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort.
Fully Paved Pink Sapphire & Diamond Heart Pendant set on 18K Yellow Gold. Multi-use Pendant includes five revolving bars with all Diamond on one side and Pink Sapphire on the other. Pendant can be worn many different different ways to fit the occasion.
I planned on riding the Sharp's Ridge trail this afternoon, but when I arrived at the Hanover Access, there was a mini excavator and workers doing maintenance, So I rode over to the Lower parking lot and there was a sign up there. I did manage to get 4.3 miles in on the bike, As I was riding home, it lightly sprinkled. Then it rained heavier a little later.

In a city increasingly characterised by multiuse buildings, with shops and other commercial businesses at street level and residences or offices on the floors above, the elevated train brought public transport into the private sphere, transforming domestic spaces into theatres for curious riders. Hopper underscores this distinctive view in Night Windows by devoting the lower third of his painting to the tops of the darkened windows below. Such views continued to inspire Hopper for years, even after the city began dismantling the elevated tracks in the late 1930s and the El increasingly came to represent a nostalgic idea of old New York, as opposed to the "Wonder City" of skyscrapers and subways.

Edward Hopper’s New York
(October 2022 – March 2023)
For Edward Hopper, New York was a city that existed in the mind as well as on the map, a place that took shape through lived experience, memory, and the collective imagination. It was, he reflected late in life, “the American city that I know best and like most.”
The city of New York was Hopper’s home for nearly six decades (1908–67), a period that spans his entire mature career. Hopper’s New York was not an exacting portrait of the twentieth-century metropolis. During his lifetime, the city underwent tremendous development—skyscrapers reached record-breaking heights, construction sites roared across the five boroughs, and an increasingly diverse population boomed—yet his depictions of New York remained human-scale and largely unpopulated. Eschewing the city’s iconic skyline and picturesque landmarks, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building, Hopper instead turned his attention to its unsung utilitarian structures and out-of-the-way corners, drawn to the awkward collisions of new and old, civic and residential, public and private that captured the paradoxes of the changing city. Edward Hopper’s New York charts the artist’s enduring fascination with the city, revealing a vision of New York that is as much a manifestation of Hopper himself as it is a record of the city around him.
Edward Hopper’s New York takes a comprehensive look at Hopper’s life and work, from his early impressions of New York in sketches, prints, and illustrations, to his late paintings, in which the city served as a backdrop for his evocative distillations of urban experience. Drawing from the Whitney’s extensive holdings and amplified by key loans, the exhibition brings together many of Hopper’s iconic city pictures as well as several lesser-known yet critically important examples. The presentation is significantly informed by a variety of materials from the Museum’s recently acquired Sanborn Hopper Archive—printed ephemera, correspondence, photographs, and journals that together inspire new insights into Hopper’s life in the city. By exploring the artist’s work through the lens of New York, the exhibition offers a fresh take on this formidable figure and considers the city itself as a lead actor.

Wilkinson Road new bridge and trail improvements. Seems cyclists and pedestrians can share the trail
