| | 1:24 AM - more proof that Toronto is beautiful... I'll cool it on the words and just copy and paste some photos for you, with a few brief captions.
Nighty night.
TAKEN AT LAKE ONTARIO ON 7/11. SOMEONE HAD CREATED AT LEAST THIRTY STACKS OF ROCKS. NOTE THE CITY SKYLINE IN THE BACKGROUND.
OOH, CROOKED BUILDING, CROOKED BUILDING. or crooked photographer. you choose.
THIS SIDEWALK ART MAKES ME GIGGLE EACH TIME I SEE IT. ALONG UNIVERSITY, NEAR OUR HOTEL, SOMEONE HAS USED A STENCIL TO SPRAYPAINT THE WORDS "DUCK," "DUCK," AND (YOU GUESSED IT) "GOOSE." HEE HEE.
MISTY DAY TODAY.
APPARENTLY, THE CREWS HAD BEEN DREDGING THE LAKE A BIT AND THIS OLD BICYCLE CAME UP. MUY INTERESANTE.
A LITTLE KID GETTING OFF THE FERRY.
HERE WE ARE IN/ON THE TORONTO ISLANDS. WARD'S ISLAND, THE ONLY ISLAND WHERE PEOPLE LIVE, IS SO LUSH AND DELIGHTFUL. THE ONLY MOTORIZED VEHICLES ARE EMERGENCY VEHICLES AND STATE VEHICLES, SO THERE ARE ACTUALLY NO REAL STREETS TO SPEAK OF--AND THE STREET SIGNS MARK ONLY THE PATHS THAT LIE ALONGSIDE THE COTTAGES. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT. ONE OF MARGARET ATWOOD'S CHARACTER'S IN _THE ROBBER BRIDE_ LIVES ON THE ISLAND, AND WITHIN SECONDS OF WALKING AROUND HERE IT'S EASY TO IMAGINE WHY A WRITER WOULD LOVE IT. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WENT TO MILTON, I IMPLORE YOU TO IMAGINE FRIEDMAN, HAMMACK, OR--MOST APPROPRIATELY--JANE DAVIS HERE. CHECK IT OUT....
SAW THIS SWAN FAMILY. THAT'S ALL. THE PHOTO OF THE SWAN LANDING IN THE WATER WAS THE ONLY ACTION SHOT I TOOK--I WAS AMAZED AT THE LIGHTING & TIMING, BUT MY PARENTS SEEMED A LOT LESS WOWED THAN I WAS AT THE PHOTO. IS ANYONE ELSE EXCITED BY THIS PHOTOGRAPH?
EVEN THOUGH THE ISLANDS HAVE SEPARATE NAMES, THEY'RE ALL CONNECTED--THIS IS ON THE ROAD FROM WARD'S ISLAND TO CENTRE ISLAND, WHERE THERE'S A CUTE AMUSEMENT PARK AND FARM. THE WEATHER WAS RAINY, WHICH MEANT THE PARK WAS CLOSED. IT ALSO MEANT THAT THE COLORS WERE MORE VIBRANT AND THAT WE WERE THE ONLY TOURISTS AROUND, WHICH I LOVED....
IF YOU LOOK IN THE BACKGROUND, YOU CAN SEE THE FAMOUS CN TOWER IN THE BACKGROUND--IT IS OFT CONFUSED WITH SEATTLE'S SKY NEEDLE.
MY CUTE PARENTS ON THE BOARDWALK BETWEEN WARD'S ISLAND AND CENTREVILLE. THE LAKE WAS MYSTERIOUSLY MISTY AND WITCHY. OOOOOHHHHH.
FARM (SEE CN TOWER AGAIN)
