Stanage Edge is a vast gritstone edge that overlooks the village of Hathersage in the English Peak District.
Areas of Stanage were quarried in the past to produce grindstones, and some can still be seen on the hillside—carved, but never removed.
Long exposure for the sky, basic exposure for the land.

The most serious threat to the continued well-being of the Trumpeter Swan is the loss of habitat resulting from expanding human populations. People are also responsible for accidental deaths, although it is rare for these to have a serious effect on populations, except perhaps on a local scale. Such “accidents” include lead poisoning caused by the ingestion of lead shot in areas that are heavily shot over by hunters; collisions with human-made objects, most notably power transmission lines and other overhead wires; and occasional misidentification and illegal shooting.

Cap-aux-Meules Island has three villages (Fatima, Cap-aux-Meules and L'Étang-du-Nord), it is more "urbanized" than the other islands and is the service and administrative centre for the archipelago. The name, Cap-aux-Meules (Grindstone Cape), comes from the presence of grindstone in the hill overlooking the port.
Hiking in Cap-Aux-Meules for a day along the coastline trail, the wind along beaches and capes and leads to an observation deck overlooking the port of Cap-aux-Meules. I was almost carried away by the gentle sea breeze in this magnificent open-air playground! The wind is omnipresent in the Magdalen Islands. Strong sea breezes have always been a part of the lives of their inhabitants. The sea breeze makes the archipelago the ideal place to enjoy wind sports and activities, like acrobatic kite flying and kitesurfing...
Fatima Exposed to northerly winds, the Fatima coastline is lined with spectacularly steep, jagged cliffs. Unfortunately, year after year, the coast is retreating as a result of erosion.

The Ontario Trumpeter Swan Restoration Group started a conservation project in 1982, using eggs collected in the wild. Live birds have also been taken from the wild. Since then, 584 birds have been released in Ontario. Despite lead poisoning in the wild from shotgun pellets, the prospects for restoration are considered optimistic.

The importance of bread in a roman’s diet is justified by the finding of 35 bakeries. The building in itself is pretty , the baker’s hasn’t really changed at all in these centuries ,wood was used, and grinders were used to make the flour, a brick oven and a place where dough was kneaded before going into the bread oven because the baker’s were associated together with the stables because the animals would live and work the move the mill to be transported after.
We are still waiting for winter, so landscapes are pretty dull these days. Stopped here on the way to dinner. The water level is really low, allowing me to stand in the middle of the creek on a rock which normally would be submerged
Spotted this female cardinal sitting n the spring sunshine at the Grindstone Marsh trail-head in the Royal Botanical Gardens.

Directions from Hwy 403: From Hwy 403 take the Hwy 6 N (Guelph) exit and travel approximately 3 km to Hwy 5 E. (Dundas St. E.). Turn right on Hwy 5 E. and then turn right onto Mill St. before the railway tracks. After the overhead railway bridge the Smokey Hollow Resource Management Area parking lot will be on the right. This waterfall is next to the parking lot.
Grindstone Falls is one of the waterfalls at McConnells Mill State Park that are not officially listed on the map. I was finally able to make the trip last weekend and not only found it, but had a great time exploring the surrounding area. Thanks to Jim flic.kr/ps/C3sG7 and Mike flic.kr/ps/yDV51 for their help with finding this.
