Nature in the City

We took a walk on one of the warmer days (-5 degrees Celsius) to find out what was in our area. We found a park area. Looking at a map, I wondered if it would be a challenge to find nature in the City. I think we just need to be more aware of the nature that does exist. Austyn has been watching the Magpies and asking questions. He has been picking off the tiny pine cones and observing how they are different than the large ones we are use to in Ontario and how they open up within hours when left on the counter.

The snow is even different than at home. It's deeper than we are use to, but much lighter and powdery. Zoe got tired quickly while walking through it.

We found a small hill that looks like people are using as a toboggan hill. Someone made a large picture of a smiling man on the hill. I captured a picture of it with my cell phone.
