Black Locust Trees framing the lake

Yesterday I looked out to the shimmering lake watching the water patterns and admired the beautiful Black Locust Trees spiralling skyward on our property right down to the water’s edge. These magnificent trees easily rise 80 feet into the blue cloudless skies.    They are late in getting their spring leaves but compensate that tardy arrival with hundreds of small white flowers that attract bees by the millions.  For up to two weeks, once the flowers burst out, the yard is buzzing with bee’s, 75 feet up in the top combing these special trees for the very unique Black Locust nectar. Then as the blooms fall, we are showered with thousands upon thousands of white petals looking like a gentle snow shower.   Nature affords us a continuing show of wonders.  Just past our stand of Black Locust, the Maples are already changing colours and dropping their leaves.   Summer has been glorious here on the lake but fall’s harbinger is in the air.  Here at Loughbreeze B&B and Ontario Cycling Hostel in Beautiful Northumberland County we are looking forward to seeing you.
