I’m a Fan of…..Seagulls

Posted on April 17, 2023 by Mama Cormier

…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.

…thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2023/04/14/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2023-week-15/

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.

Which Way Photo Challenge – April 15, 2023

Posted on April 15, 2023 by Mama Cormier

…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.

BEA9-FDE7-65-D7-4-B1-F-B363-E4-C2948-AB69-E — …*but they lead to amazing views*

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.
