Cabybara at the High Park Zoo

and llamas, bison and Barbary sheep

One of the highlights at the High Park Zoo in Toronto is the pen where the cabybara live. This week I took a trip there with out granddaughter who specifically wanted to see cabybarra. Luckily for us we got there at feeding time so we had a great view of these massive rodents.

Thursday’s Trio – Delayed but not Forgotten

I thought I had a couple of good photos of geese trios

…but when I checked them out last Thursday I discovered that in one photo there was a fourth goose in the picture and in the second one I had cut off the head of one of the geese. I went back to where I saw the geese and they were gone.

I’ve been trying to go for longer walks since last week and not stopping too often to take photos but I did manage to find some trios that didn’t take away too much time from my walking goal.

If you have some trios you’d like to share just copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll will get back to you and leave a comment. As you can see you don’t have to post it on a Thursday.

Rain, Rain and More Rain

It’s been a pretty rainy summer so far but the last few days have set records

I don’t mind rain, especially when it falls at night but when it comes down in buckets during the day and day after day, it starts to get depressing. Today I think we set a record for the 5th highest day for accumulation in the last 100 years. Luckily our basement stayed dry but many people weren’t as lucky and to top it off the power went off across the city. We only had to endure an outage for 1 1/2 hours but my daughter was without power for over 6 hours. For awhile our backyard looked like a lake but when I got around to taking photos there were only a few puddles left.
