Park benches are mostly empty these days but in the last week the weather has warmed up considerably so slowly people are starting to use the benches again.
…today I lost one of my favourite gloves on a walk through High Park
I didn’t want my glove to become a Lost object for someone else’s post so I retraced my steps. I figured I walked about 1 kilometre before I found it and I’m sure that one of the dogs in this off leash area had picked it up and moved it off the path. I was lucky that I spotted it. Then I had to turn around and try to catch up with my group. I was exhausted when I got home today.
In this last photo Lucy isn’t lost but she stood there for 10 minutes as if she was lost. When my son-in-law got home he got her to move. Getting old sucks, even for dogs.

The Toronto Power Generating Station is a former generating station located along the Niagara River on the Canadian side. The building was completed in 1906 and was built by the Electrical Development Company of Ontario, hence the name inscribed above the doors. It supplied hydro-electric power to nearby Toronto, ON.
The plant is built on top of a deep wheel pit and when it functioned turbines at the bottom of the pit, turned generators at the top by means of long vertical shafts. The water from the turbines ran out at the base of the falls. In its prime, it had a generating capacity of 137,500 horsepower (102,500 kW).
The plant ceased operations on February 15, 1974. In its place Ontario Hydro used the water downriver at the power station in Queenston, ON. The plant is now vacant and was designated a National Historic Site in Canada in 1983, due to its importance in the development of business, industry and technology in Ontario. It is the first wholly Canadian-owned hydro-electric facility at Niagara Falls.
