A Windy Walk – November 21, 2022

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Becky B for hosting Walking Squares

Today’s walk required a scarf, hat and gloves. The wind off the lake was very strong and there were lots of whitecaps today.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Edition – Easy

When I need to take it ‘easy’ I like to doodle or paint. This particular painting was ‘easy’ to do and helped me momentarily to take my mind off of our health issues. Thankfully we are both fully recovering.

I call it The North Shore After the Storm

Snow Clouds over Buffalo – November 19, 2022

On the north west shore of Lake Ontario, where we live we can see across the lake on a very clear day and see the skyline of some New York cities and towns. As you may have heard, Buffalo is having record setting amounts of snow which is crippling the folks that live there and it’s still snowing. Last evening I took a walk to the shoreline and captured these shots of snow clouds hovering over the lake. Luckily for us the winds are pushing the clouds clear of Toronto.

A friend of ours posted photos from Fort Erie which is directly across from Buffalo on the north side of Lake Erie and there was literally a wall of snow coming down over the city.

Walking Through the Subway – November 18, 2022

It’s not unusual to see birds flying over the tracks and through the tunnels in the subway but seeing this pigeon was a first for me.

A Cold Walk Downtown – November 17, 2022

Posted on November 17, 2022 by Mama Cormier

My husband came home from the hospital yesterday. I wasn’t planning on going to the concert that I had tickets for but he didn’t want me to miss it. When I woke up this morning I was still in the mindset of not going but then a good friend, who is one of the organizers called me to see if I could help them out. They had a bit of an emergency and I couldn’t say no.

I normally love this walk after I get off the subway but I have to admit that I do prefer it when the weather is warmer nut it’s still picturesque nonetheless.
