Birds by the Lake

….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.

Thursday Doors – April 26, 2018

…..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.IMG_1615

Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – March 30, 2018

…..not as late as last week’s Challenge

Thanks Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. Your challenges always challenge me to look for the unusual and sometimes mundane subjects. Here are a few shots that I took on my walk a few days ago.

More Signs that Spring is Here

….even though it’s still March and spring is officially here I say this with some trepidation

The sun is high in the sky, people are catching some rays on park benches, a few brave souls are playing tennis and we’ve started cooking outdoors again.P1050952
