Which Way Photo Challenge – April 15, 2023

thanks to San from Alive and Trekking for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge https://aliveandtrekking.com/2023/04/14/which-way-photo-challenge-april-14/

I love walking through the Colonel Sam Smith Park in South Etobicoke (west end of Toronto) and strolling along the walkways but I also like to take some of the side trails to see where they take me.

…sometimes the trails are muddy

and sometimes they are barely visible

but they lead to amazing views

…from an angle that I’ve never experienced

…I wonder how many coyotes or beavers have wandered through these tall grasses to get to the pond

I’m a Fan of …..Waves

I love the waves on Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay where our cottage is. I won’t be going to the cottage for at least another month but the lake by our house never fails to provide some magnificent waves.

Happy Easter From Our Family to Your’s

this Easter weekend has involved painting, drawing, getting together with family and eating…lots of eating

Every family celebrates this time of year differently but it almost always includes food. In our house it also includes drawing and painting and getting outside to walk and take photos.

Thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2023/04/03/clyde-reflections-water-water-everywhere-170/

I’m always trying to find different ways to photograph the water that surrounds us. Here are my latest attempts to do just that.
