Train travel trip part 4

March 29th, we were stopped waiting for a train. I found the graffitti interesting!
1.  Carleton Place =>  2.  Appleton => 3. Code Dr. birds.

JB counted 141 train cars, while I took photos!
 

Trip to Code Dr. 3

Back to our March 26th adventure:

Home => Carleton Place =>  north to Appleton (at the top of the map) south through Franktown then => Code Dr..

We kept on going, looking for open water.
 
Some of the fields are opening up.

This looked so sad or poignant!

It's strange seeing the geese in the water on the fields.


OK, funny story. We passed the Park 'N Ride in Franktown. I think the people in the cranberry-coloured truck were necking! The back window was open, and heads were together. I could be wrong...It gave me a good giggle.

I wish we had the cash to do this. Solar power is important.

Code Dr.

OK, the dam, where the water flows. We were there March 18, and it was quite frozen. I like the sound of the water flowing. The culvert heads downstream, to where there is a beaver dam. We drove and parked near the dam.


Looking back towards the culvert, where the fast water has thawed. The road is in the background.


I could hear the geese honking across the way. I couldn't see them.


Hubby nudged me, and I found a veritable feast on this side of the dam. A pair of mallards.



Two Canada Geese, the one looked like it was sleeping. That's what we'll go with. They were below the dam.

I was watching the mallards, when I noticed a pair of mergansers.

Trip through Appleton 2

We were on our March 29th driveabout trip:
Home => Carleton Place => Appleton => Code Dr.=> Smiths Falls

The geese! There were hundreds of them.


None of them were in the rapids! It looked so pretty driving by.

We startled these two.

My drive-by shooting, with the camera strap flying in the wind...


They can be a pain, but it is a sure sign of spring. Soon there will be more! We used to have Eddie and Eva visit us!


In case you want to listen to them!
