Water, Water Everywhere….At Canada’s Wonderland

yesterday I went to a huge amusement park north of the city with our granddaughter, Winnie and her parents

I think the last time I went to Canada’s Wonderland was over 40 years ago when the kids were very young. I remember loving the water rides and I went on two of them and was absolutely soaked after the Timberwolf Falls ride. Of course I didn’t bring a change of clothes so I walked around in a very wet shirt and cotton pants. Luckily it was a very warm and sunny day.

Over the years the place has been built up and there are many water features, gardens and fountains that are new to me.

Water, Water Everywhere – A Three Day Blow

thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/08/12/swan-pond-water-water-everywhere-challenge-232/

A three day blow occurs when the winds are strong and the waves are big for three days in a row. To my granddaughter’s delight she experienced that at the cottage on Georgian Bay this weekend. There were times when the waves were so high that they went over our heads. I was so glad that I purchased a lifejacket for her to wear. It made the experience less stressful for me and her mom and more fun for her.

Thursday’s Trio – Delayed but not Forgotten

I thought I had a couple of good photos of geese trios

…but when I checked them out last Thursday I discovered that in one photo there was a fourth goose in the picture and in the second one I had cut off the head of one of the geese. I went back to where I saw the geese and they were gone.

I’ve been trying to go for longer walks since last week and not stopping too often to take photos but I did manage to find some trios that didn’t take away too much time from my walking goal.

If you have any trios you’d like to share just copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to check it out when I get the pingback. If you haven’t heard back from me it may be because I discovered that all my WordPress emails were in my spam folder. Not sure why that happened.

Rain, Rain and More Rain

It’s been a pretty rainy summer so far but the last few days have set records

I don’t mind rain, especially when it falls at night but when it comes down in buckets during the day and day after day, it starts to get depressing. Today I think we set a record for the 5th highest day for accumulation in the last 100 years. Luckily our basement stayed dry but many people weren’t as lucky and to top it off the power went off across the city. We only had to endure an outage for 1 1/2 hours but my daughter was without power for over 6 hours. For awhile our backyard looked like a lake but when I got around to taking photos there were only a few puddles left.
