Beautiful Sunday — a walk through a winter wonderland



Each year, Wellington Park in Simcoe, Ontario dresses up for Christmas. Many churches, businesses and private donators string lights, provide music and displays for people to enjoy. We've visited the park for years and have had a good time walking through the various Christmas exhibits.

We arrived at the blue hour just between sunset and moonrise. With hot chocolate in our hands and bundled in our winter gear we spent an hour or so walking the paths through the park.

Wow, this photo makes me think of your hubby's book with all the snow. I'm enjoying it, it's a sweet story.

I stayed up last night until I finished your book! Couldn't put it down so I need to write a review. I'll get on it soon!

Awesome, I need more reviews on Kindle for sure, thanks! The others are on Kindle as well in case you want to know what happens after the cliff hanger. :) https://www.amazon.ca/s/ref=dp_byline_sr_ebooks_1?ie=UTF8&text=Rebecca+Gertner+Morgan&search-alias=digital-text&field-author=Rebecca+Gertner+Morgan&sort=relevancerank

Oh, good, thanks!!! I'll get to them after I finish the book I'm reading now. I actually put it aside to read yours!! Don't you feel special? I'm reading the Legend of the Celtic Stone by Michael Phillips....long long LONG story ( and I think there are 4 more books - we'll see about that once I'm done this one).

Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to read A Different Road Traveled on my kindle. I look forward to seeing what happens to Rachel and her friends.

Oh I do feel special! I may have read the Celtic Stone...I've found his books to be enjoyable, but long and a tad bit slow.
I've set aside another mainstream book to read your hubby's and honestly may not pick it back up.

I know...it is slow. And I read a few chapters the other night and honestly can't remember much from what I read. I hate it when that happens.

I downloaded the other three of your series so I think I'll start on those.
I think I'm going to take a time off from Steemit for a few days....I find it takes a lot of time...or I spend too much time which is more of the truth.
Have a very Merry Christmas Rebecca.

Oh wow, thank you! I hear you about Steemit taking time. I took a few months off, but that's not a good idea because I lost a lot of my momentum and don't get may people viewing my posts. Merry Christmas to you, too!

thanks, Rebecca :)

I'll be sure to leave a review both here on Steemit and on Kindle when I finish it.

thank you, Rebecca!

IT TAKES TIME

Beautiful pictures! Ontario is so beautiful, I need to go back and visit! I really loved the picture of the curling snowmen!

Ontario is so beautiful. Sometimes I forget and take it for granted. There are many places to have 'stayvacations' - which is part of my bucket list this coming year.

Children love this place - it's so pretty at night time. Day time is okay....and it's enjoyable, but magical at night.

very beautiful place....and merry christmas ....enjoy..

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you too!

You can definitely feel the festive vibes in that area. It looks really good @countrygirl

Thank you @steemitnoob. I just added you bc I like your photos. Thanks for your comment!

The snowman decoration is definitely a more interesting one for me.
Thanks for sharing this on #beautifulsunday

They are pretty cute. I should have waited for darkness to get the really great color. But it was fun and I think sometimes that's more important the worrying about photography. :)

Glad to see someone from Ontario , Merry Christmas. Also wish you get through your bucket list for 2018.

Nice to see you too! Where in Ontario are you at? Merry Christmas to you too!

I live in Brampton

Oh Brampton has a beautiful skating rink - like a path ... I remember taking my kids there when they were younger. We lived in Mississauga at the time. Very nice.

Thats nice. I dont know to skate , but always want to do it. I guess it not too late to try it !

It's easy once you get going....once you get your balance just so. It's never too late, no.

I will take your advice :)

@countrygirl It's a pretty place. My favorite photo is the train and Sante in his sled. Nice photos from Ontario.

Glad you enjoyed them! Thank you.

Wow, I wish I was there 😏

Aw....I wish you were too!

😊🙏
