OFF TO TORONTO


Geoffrey the giraffe
(Calgary, Alberta)
was switched from the trailer
to the van
and away we went to Toronto



Wednesday morning we took a walk
through a local park which is
located beside Lake Ontario
This lady's hat caught my eye
I really like her hat!

LOOK WHAT ELSE CAUGHT MY EYE



Are you surprised??

I can't remember his name but do remember
he is eighteen months old
He was very friendly



It was such a bright sunny morning



Some Cormorants basking in the sun



Putting on the breaks!



A very handsome Mallard Duck



Head down
n'
Tail up



Some lucky bird made her nest
in this bird sculpture
The ''big guy' can watch out for her



Ah.......the forever popular ball cap
and
a lovely straw hat



The skyline of Toronto
You can see the CN Tower



We were waiting for the street light to
 change from red to green
when this gentleman walked across the street
with two Doberman Pinchers
Very seldom do I see this breed anymore



No sooner had the dogs crossed the street
when 
here comes a little fellow
being carried over the shoulder
.......like
a bag of potatoes

Don't know why

but

It struck me funny!!!!



Here we are driving down the 402
For the life of me I could not figure out
what was hanging on the back of the bus????

Now

How did the hanging flower basket
get on the back of the bus?????

I wonder!



As you can see a storm was brewing
Eventually we drove through it



Oh
 I can see the camera lady
I was trying to capture the
clouds and sky behind us

When we got home I checked the nest

The saga of the nest has ended



One gosling was out of the shell
however
not breathing
A few of the eggs had cracks in their shells
Even though I suspected this was  
going to be the outcome
it was not a pleasant sight

(I checked again the next morning,
all signs of eggs were gone
The nest was empty)

THE EVER CHANGING SUNSET
ON THE RIVER














I would take a photo then
go back in the cottage

Look outside again

and

 could not believe how the sky
was changing

Exquisite colours of
blues, pinks, oranges and yellow

BEAUTIFUL BLUEWATER LAND

    Mother nature has funny ways of controlling over population, very sad but predictable after the run ins. Happy mothers day my camera lady, great shots of the sky, never ceases to amaze me
