Took a walk along the coast of Lake Ontario (A common occurrence, with frequently suprising results.), and found a beach made almost entirely of red and yellow buff brick, the last remains of demo'd historic homes, dumped, washed, worn and spit out again.

Went for a hike at the Wainfleet Bog with Bismarck and friends. It snowed the day before, leaving us with 10cm of fresh powder over an icy base. There was some flooding, and we saw at least one beaver dam. The water was the blackest of black, like coffee. (Don't fall in, or that'll be your eternity.)
