Happy Birthday Canada ... and more

Yeah, I know, I'm a little late for the birthday wishes, but better later than never. Vacation doesn't leave much time for posting. Happy Birthday Canada.

We didn't attend any fireworks celebrations this year, but were rather entertained by some in the neighbourhood that we watched from our front porch. Better that way, as the weather wasn't exactly firework friendly. And we got the big show (of the downtown Milton fireworks) from our bedroom window. What better seat than that!?

Sunday morning we took the dogs out to the Limehouse Conservation Area (part of the CVC).  I'd never been before, so I thought it would be a good one to try out, and I wasn't disappointed.

Scaling down ladders on a rock face with a 12 pound dog in one arm is a challenge, but scaling down ladders on a rock face with a 80 pound dog is an extreme challenge. 

Seeing the old kilns was interesting and the dogs got to refresh themselves in Black Creek, that runs throughout this gorgeous conservation area. More information on the kilns and their preservation can be found here: www.limehousekilns.ca

The day didn't lend itself to fantastic photography, the sun was too bright and the shadows too deep, but I was able to capture a bit of the hike, and of course, a great shot of the little dog on a log. Seriously, she was on the log, and she's a little dog - it rhymed by accident.
