Willowfield pond at the headwaters of Taylor Creek.
Winter has once again returned to the Taylor Creek.

A beautiful planted disc
A little sideways but still upright.
The snow has almost melted... that can mean only one thing.
Its tombstone season!

Famed hole 3 at Dentonia.
A March sunset over the Dentonia Disc Golf Course..
Clear skies and warm weather, today was a good day
#LoveTheRavines #DiscGolf #DentoniaPark #parksTO #DiscGolfTO #WinterTO #Sunset
The sun peeking thru the trees.
The Scarberian tundra aglow.
Another Tam O'Shanter.
With the inevitable spring melt upon us, its time to enjoy another Snowshoe sunset session thru Scarborough.

What a beautiful day to lose some discs.
This a good winter day.

Sunset over Tam O'Shanter.
With the warm weather fast approaching, taking some time to enjoy the limited snowshoeing opportunities in Highland Creek watershed.

Firth & final station is titled Chimera.

Rather simple, but also cleaver design consisting of mirrors. Certainly a place for some photo creativity.
#winterstations #publicart #parksTO #winterTO #Toronto
Fourth station is titled Glaciate

A translucent maze, also future photo opportunities.
#winterstations #publicart #parksTO #winterTO #Toronto
Third station is titled Specularia

I found this one underwhelming & from past experience the fabric curtains will not last long.
#winterstations #publicart #parksTO #winterTO #Toronto
Second station is titled Crest.

It reminds of a funky locker-room design with built in seating.
#winterstations #publicart #parksTO #winterTO #Toronto
High five in waiting.
Big hands in the fog.
First station on the route is titled Embrace.

Thought personally I prefer to call it rainbow hand. This is a fun one, which might present future photo opportunities.

Somewhere in that soupy fog lie the Winter Stations.
The Winter stations are officially up at Woodbine beach
This has become an annual winter tradition to wander about & see what ideas they've come up with.
Except today fog rolled in making it hard to see much of anything
But we'll try anyway
#winterstations #publicart #parksTO #winterTO #Toronto
But at least the walls makes for an artistic space for local graffiti partitioners.
Less public utility and more of a public mural.
And with that we'll end this #RavineRamble.
Thanks for coming along.

Broken door.
Broken toilet.
One of the doors has been broken open allowing us a view inside...
I can't imagine how many decades this place has say idle.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Abandoned graffiti bathroom.
But before we end. We visit a abandoned public bathrooms.
In my entire life, I dont recall this 1 ever being opened. In fact it's often surrounded by growth
@shawnmicallef.bsky.social bathroom plight is real.

O'Connor Dr crossing the Taylor Creek.
We're approach the end of this ramble..
The O'Connor bridge looms large over the ravine.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
About a dozen bat boxes dot the shoreline here.
Bat boxes have been installed along the redeveloped sections of the creek.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Bridge to cross to the south side.
Erosion control along the banks.
Doubling back to the the Taylor creek, we will cross to the southside of the creek.
Note all the recent slope and erosion control work that has been done.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Looking north up the Ferris ravine.
Looking down into the creek.
At about 600-700meter up the ravine, the slops are too steep and the bush too thick to continue on in snowshoes.
This is where we double back.

Human refuse litters the valley.
Best seat in the house...
Walking down the frozen Ferris creek.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Ferris creek bridge.
Bridge over the Ferris creek. Again, rusted bridge.
We're taking a short detour up the Ferris reach to see how far we can get.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Looking west down the Taylor Creek.
Looking west from the Ferris creek bridge.
The confluence of Taylor Creek & Ferris Creek.
This area has had massive work done recently to stabilize the banks and control erosion.
The tree cover was stripped bare, hence the wide open landscape.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Another rusted bridge.
Three of a kind, another rusted bridge.
This time at Notley Pl entrance into the ravine.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Erosion control measures.
Massive erosion control boulders were installed in this section about a decade ago and some have already begun to shift.
The paved trail sits almost directly on top of them.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
The creek cuts into the trail on the northside of the ravine.
More erosion. The Creek has cut many deep gashes into its banks.
The snow makes it look deceiving.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
The bridge at the Rexleigh Dr entrance
Another creek crossing, another rusted bridge. They will become common.
We're staying on the northside of the ravine.
#LoveTheRavines #RavineRambler #DonRover #parksTO #EastCoastKin #winterTO #RavineRamble
Fresh water emerges from the ground.
Ground water surfacing.
Countless ground water spots can be found in the ravine, all slowly feeding into the creek.

One of the last standing fitness stations on the old fitness trail
Rather simple and straight forward instructions.
What's this? A ghost of municipal fitness pasts?
There was once a fitness trail thru the park. Only a few signs of it remain now.
