…thanks to Snow from The Snow Melts Somewhere for hosting Friendly Friday
My photo walk takes place on Sunday. Friday and Saturday were exceptionally busy and I didn’t get out for my long walk. Today I made sure to get out before noon.
I left my house and walked toward the park that edges onto the lake.
I continued along Lakeshore Drive and turned onto 4th St. which ends in a dead end but the property on the east side is abandoned so I walked toward the lake again.
I noticed that a large flock of swans were swimming together at the foot of Prince of Wales Park so I continued east.
After taking a dozen or more photos I decided to continue on my walk along the shores of Lake Ontario before the swans decided they had enough of this intruder with her iPhone camera. You can see from one of the following photos that there’s still a little bit of ice hanging onto the shoreline.
As I left the park I continued through the neighbourhood until I reached a tiny parkette on Sand Beach Road.
I then turned north and walked towards the busy street of Lakeshore Blvd. and headed home.

thanks for the sending some good memories my way, and a chill because I know that lake ice very cold

I have no desire to stick my big toe into it. It won’t warm up till August. Some people actually swim in Lake Ontario. It’s much better than it was 20 years ago but I’d rather wait and swim in Georgian Bay when I go to the cottage.

What a great view and interesting buildings! I love the city skyline view from the lake. Do you swim there during the summer? Thanks for joining the walk!

Thanks Snow. I don’t swim in Lake Ontario. When I was a kid and lived in Oakville, just west of Toronto, we used to swim in the Lake but over the years it got too polluted. I’ve noticed in the last five years that people are starting to swim in the lake again but not at the foot of our street. In another park just a couple of kilometres from us there are man made beaches that people use on hot days in the summer.

Ah it’s the same here: the Baltic Sea off the shore of Helsinki is polluted. I swam there as a teenager but wouldn’t dream of doing it now. Still, many people don’t seem to mind and hop right in! 😳

I would imagine that it’s cold as well.
