Rainy Weekend

What a horrible weekend! It rained most of the two days - isn't that usually the way? We didn't go out walking at all on Saturday. It made for a really long day. I did have a nice Skype with Mum. Won't be long until I see her again! Sunday we did manage to get out for a little walk. We did about 2 1/2 miles and were heading back to the car when it started to rain so we got a little wet. On the way home it absolutely fell down, so I suppose we did well to finish when we did!

On our way up to the park where we were walking we decided to stop by the Rabbit River Trestle Bridge in Hamilton. It's a lovely little park. We had tried to stop by there several times in the winter, but it was apparently shut. I wanted to take a couple of photos as the challenge for this month in my A Year with my Camera Grads Group is all about architecture.


The bridge looks a little dodgy to me but apparently - from what I read - some trains still go across it!

On another good note Stubby put in another appearance in the garden. It's been weeks since we've seen him and both hubby and I were thinking something had happened to him, but he showed up again!


I think it's his favourite position to eat. He tries sitting up the top sometimes, but I think that, without his tail, he isn't so good at balancing.

Well, the weekend is over and another week starts. This week will be about working on that photo album and preparing for our camping trip beginning next weekend.

I hope everyone had a good weekend and the weather was better than mine!

  1. Sorry you had such a rainy weekend! Hope the week ahead is better suited for walks. That is a very interesting looking bridge! I am not sure if I'd want to go walking on it, though! And, yay for Stubby showing up! I was like that about one of the stray cats that visit me - hadn't seen him for weeks and I thought he might have died (he's old), but then, he showed up, yesterday, and showed one of the other cats who's boss! LOL!

    1. That's how Stubby is. He certainly isn't scared of anything. Might well be how he ended up without his tail!

  2. I suppose it won't help to say we've had glorious weather! No, didn't think it would. I love that bridge, rickety though it looks. It's just right there.

    1. Lol. No, it wouldn't help. It's been a weird Spring - weather seems more all over the place than usual. Oh well.

  3. Shame about the weather. I am not sure I would want to be on the train that crosses on that bridge. Whilst it looks amazing, it certainly doesn't look safe. The beauty of technology I was able to see my family too.

    1. Sometimes technology drives me crazy, but it is nice to be able to 'see' mum each week.

    1. I love the bridge, very old and rickety. It makes for an interesting photo.

    1. I'll send some of my rain your way. Seems we've had more than enough this Spring. Lake Michigan is really high and sometimes it's quite wet when we're out walking! Not sure how he lost his tail - either got in a fight or run over. When he first started coming around he had a bare patch on his back too but it's healed over now.
