Roda’s Critter Connection – April 30, 2018

Posted on April 30, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..thanks to Roda for the hosting the Critter Connection

The swans today were very friendly and came right up to the edge of the beach. Of course when there’s food involved it’s not hard to entice them. I just wish that people gave more thought to what they feed the birds and more importantly teach their children that certain foods, like potato chips, can make birds sick. No kidding….when I got closer I saw what I thought was bread was actually potato chips.

Also these children were pretty young and they were very close to these big birds. I wonder if the parents know how nasty swans can get. P1060066

Birds by the Lake

Posted on April 28, 2018 by Mama Cormier

….most stay all year

Even though many birds migrate south in the fall, here in Toronto many of these migrating birds stay here all winter long. Now that the weather is starting to warm up and the sun has reappeared (although today is grey and raining) the swans, Canada geese and gulls happily go about their day and don’t seem to mind the close proximity of people, in fact some love the extra attention.

I’m a little late this week and I could have saved these shots for tomorrow but I’m hoping I’ll have new ones by then.

Thursday Doors – April 26, 2018

Posted on April 26, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..despite the tragedy that this city experienced this week my post will remain positive

Toronto is still one of the best cities in the world to live. We were all shocked by Monday’s senseless act where a lone disturbed man ran down innocent pedestrians on the sidewalk with a van.

Toronto the Good is now being replaced with Toronto Strong. Today I walked about my west end neighbourhood and photographed some colourful and interesting doors.

Thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors.

Sunday Trees – 335

….thanks to Becca Givens for hosting Sunday Trees

If you know the weather we’re experiencing right now you know this photo wasn’t taken this week. Hard to believe that the weather was nicer in March than it is now in April.
