…thanks to San from Alive and Trekking for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge https://aliveandtrekking.com/2023/04/14/which-way-photo-challenge-april-14/

I love walking through the Colonel Sam Smith Park in South Etobicoke (west end of Toronto) and strolling along the walkways but I also like to take some of the side trails to see where they take me.

I love the waves on Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay where our cottage is. I won’t be going to the cottage for at least another month but the lake by our house never fails to provide some magnificent waves.

Weekly Prompts Wednesday Challenge – Gardens

…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/04/12/weekly-prompts-wednesday-challenge-gardens-2/
