The golden grand-dog, Georgie was visiting for a few days so we went to Heather Moyse Park in the centre of the city for a walk. This park is in an older residential area and is frequented by many area residents, especially dog owners.
The park has various winding trails beside an open field and bridges over streams.
The city high school is visible in the distance. It is a great area to walk a dog and if you repeated the circuit, you’d have a good walk there.
Georgie loves this place. The scent of other dogs and the ones we met whilst there provided a feast for her dog senses. She pranced her way around the trails.
Black capped chickadees were in abundance there. These birds aren’t fed by visitors as are the birds along the boardwalk. Two landed in an needle-free tamarack and feasted on the seeds from the cones. I had never seen chickadees feed like this before but it was tough to take a good photo.
Further along the trail, a rabbit had crossed back and forth probably during the previous night. I took a photo of the tracks before Georgie sniffed around them.
We walked the trails for a half hour before we headed home from canine paradise.

Lovely photos. Snow makes for great photographs. Happy week, Diane
Hello, looks like a pretty blue sky day for a walk. Cute shot of Georgie and I love the chickadee. Pretty photos. Enjoy your day, wishing you a great new week!
A lovely place. I have grown very fond of Georgie through your posts. I think that's a really good chickadee shot. :-)
Georgie is a really lucky dog to have such good grandparents 😉 Looks like an amazingly invigorating walk Marie ⛄
An invigorating walk for both dogs and humans; it's been very wet and windy here for two days and I'm beginning to get cabin-fever!
It looks wonderful - for man and beast.
I love Georgie's ice beard too.
you are brave to walk in the snow and cold temperatures. georgics chin looks like it is growing icicles!! he is beautiful!!!
chickadees can be quick, i am glad they have some food there!!
A very pleasant walk. Beautiful pictures.
:)
That sounds like a great place to walk.
Georgie is the best of company.
Oh, you have such a good place to walk...and such a sweet grand-dog...
An interesting shot of the chickadee, eating up.
Wherever you have Tamaracks keep an eye out for Red and White-winged Crossbills. They are very fond of the seeds in the cones and their bills are ideally configured to extract them.
What a great looking dog.
Wonderful photos! Look at those tiny icicle on Georgie's chin :) Love the rabbit tracks as well. Georgie is well cared for and she shows it.
Hi Marie, As always, I love the photos. You do a great job with your blog. I think I am in love with Prince Edward Island! :-) Thank you for sharing and for your kind words on my blog. All the best to you from Seattle! John
