The Boats are Back in the Water

as with everything else this spring the return of the boats at the marina seem to be early

With the warm weather, comes boating and sailing. I’m sure the water temperatures in Lake Ontario are warmer than normal and maybe that’s why the boats are already in the docks. This is always a good sign that summer is just around the corner.

Which Way Photo Challenge – My Longest Walk This Year

….thanks to San from Alive and Trekking for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge https://aliveandtrekking.com/2023/04/21/which-way-photo-challenge-april-21/

My daily goal is to walk at least 10 000 but some days I fall a bit short. Last Sunday I managed over 13 000 steps because I headed out to the point over at Col. Sam Smith Park. This was the first time in quite awhile that I walked that far but it felt good. Along the way I took some of the less travelled paths, looking for interesting subjects to photograph.

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.

Pull Up a Seat – Week 15

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.
