Shopping in the Rain – November 27, 2022

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/27/walking-squares-27/

One of my favourite shopping neighbourhoods in Toronto is Bloor West Village. After I dropped my daughter off at her home, just east of this community I drove along Bloor Street and parked on one of the side streets. Even though it was raining I wanted to check out the green grocers and some of the dress stores.

With the colder weather upon us fewer people are sitting outside but the chairs and swings are there to remind us of the warmers days behind us.

Day 25 – Walking by the Marina

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/25/walking-squares-25/

The boats have all been put away for the winter. There are only the empty docks and abandoned slips while the boats sit on dry land, wrapped in white vacuumed sealed wraps. The walk, nonetheless is still pleasant and I am reminded that colder days are yet to come.

Walking in the Fog – November 24, 2022

thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/24/walking-squares-24/

Check out Becky’s post today. It’s perfect for my challenge Thursday Trios.

This is the second time in one month that we’re experiencing dense fog over the city. It was only suppose to last a couple of hours but here it is 12 hours later and it’s still hanging over the neighbourhood.

A Different View of the Lake – November 23, 2022

thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/23/walking-squares-23/

In the summer this beach is busy with sunbathers, stone skippers and dog walkers. Yesterday most walkers stayed on the walkway.

Walking Through Col. Sam Smith Park

….thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/11/22/walking-squares-22/

I love this park but I realized recently that I haven’t ventured out this far in awhile. Today I decided it was time to get back here and explore some of my favourite places. As I got closer to the pond I was actually shocked at how low the water level was. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it like this.

It was just a couple of days ago I was posting photos of autumn leaves and fall colours. Yesterday and today we woke up to this.
