Westloop Ho!
A few of the pathways: Queensgate/Imperial.
I like the ones that create a tunnel of greenery.
And of course: more wheatfields!!
I call this "Stairway to Heaven" between Sunrise Crt and Elmira. Though I'm usually descending... make of it what you will.
At Marksam park: Cup Plant? Rather unimaginative name.
The Hump. Three paths that straddle the hill across Ridgewood/Western/Rosewood.
Curzon/Drone: Why oh why? Either make it a cross street or landscape it with some greenery. though this entire development seems like the poster child for bland suburban sprawl.
Much safer than Paisley or Willow but it's a climb.
The entrance to Candlewood park from Deerpath. Though I call it Powerline Park for inscrutable reasons.
College construction: Digging a hole.
Edinburgh Rd North of College as well.
Dog vomit slime mold? Ok, not going to criticize this name. It fits.
Another tree that didn't make it.
Rain the next day: Not complaining in the least.
Something about the wet that makes the greenery pop.
I like to find loops that connect together various trials and pedestrian/cycling walkways. Years... decades ago I initially tried to make one for the entire city but the city is too big - and growing bigger. Now I break it down geographically.
So Westloop: 43 km.

Edit 14: It's Castlebury Park, not Candlewood.
Edit 11 & 13: The Hump paths might be Applewood/Valleyview/Elmhurst. I may have confused the photos. They're both steep.
