A Beautiful Sun Rise

….the light was very strange when I woke this morning

There was an erie glow outside my window when I awoke this morning. I don’t normally get up early enough to catch the sun rise but today’s light compelled me to head outside and walk towards the lake. The city skyline was invisible but the the sun cast a beautiful pink reflection onto the lake.

Humber Bay Farmers’ Market

….we started our day with a bike ride to a new farmers’ market in the neighbourhood

The Humber Bay Farmers’ Market is in its second year but it’s new to me. It’s been an absolutely perfect day, weather wise today. Both my husband and I got on our bikes with our panniers strapped to the back fenders. We headed east along Lakeshore Blvd and then turned south on Norris Cres towards the Lake. From there we transitioned from the road to beautifully paved bike and walking paths that followed the shores of Lake Ontario.

The Farmers’ Market itself was situated in one of the parking lots in Humber Bay Park. It’s only the second week that the market has been opened for business but there was a good number of vendors there selling a variety of wares, including fresh breads, cheeses, teas, coffees, flowers, plants, meats, cookies, and of course fruits and vegetables.

A Word a Week Photograph Challenge – Water

….I’m very attracted to water

I live by water all year round. My home is 100m from Lake Ontario and my cottage is on Georgian Bay. My walks take me along the shores of the lake and our dog loves to swim in the lake.
