I’m a Fan of…..Seagulls

except when they go after my food

Seagulls are typically known as ‘scavengers of the beach’ and can be quite a nuisance at take-out restaurants and food trucks that are close to the water. The seagulls that I love are the ones close to home where there are no lunches to steal. Sometimes people like to feed them and they can create quite a scene as they dive for food.

I’ve never seen people actually sit in these chairs but I can imagine on a nice day it would be lovely to look over the lake and the city.

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

thanks to Jez for hosting I’m a Fan of….https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2023/04/10/breakfast-in-princes-street-gardens-fan-of-201/

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.
