A Rare Sighting in the City

Posted on October 15, 2020 by Mama Cormier

….but not in High Park

I was very excited when I came across this majestic bird in the pond in High Park this week. Great Blue Herons Great are can be found in High Park and they are one of the largest of the Park’s visitors. Their presence indicates that the water in Grenadier Pond provides food and a habitat where privacy and shallow shorelines are important.

Kinda Like a Mural

Posted on October 15, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…if a painting is not on a wall is it still considered a mural

Thanks to Becky B for hosting October Squares…..kindasquare. https://beckybofwinchester.com/2020/10/15/kinda-square-15/

This painting was on the side of a shipping container. It is located next to the road that goes through the High Park Zoo.

October Colours – Yellow

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to City Sonnets for hosting October Colours and letters https://citysonnet.wordpress.com/2020/10/01/october-colors-and-letters-2/

I love autumn colours and I had every intention of posting all the yellows of Autumn in a future post but when this challenge came up I decided that today was as good a day as any. Some of these photos were taken in the neighbourhood parks and others were from my walk through High Park yesterday.

Hallowe’en During COVID

Posted on October 14, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…amid speculation as to whether the kids will be out trick or treating this year

The good news for children is that the chief medical officer said that children will be allowed to go out on Hallowe’en night and are encouraged to wear masks as part of their costumes. Homes in my neighbourhood of New Toronto are already gearing up for the big night with decorations in front of their houses. Here are a few of them.
