Southernmost part of Canada that's not an island. This was early one spring, juggling wanting to see migrating birds while missing the huge crowds that come for the same reason. :)
To see the beginning of the boardwalk shown in the previous image, this was another time. We are where we are when we're there. This day, it happened to be raining. Fortunately, birds don't care, as long as they can cross the lake. :)
Sitting at the end of a dock really early one morning, back in the day in which DSLRs got grainy fast in low light, but I took the shot anyway, with no expectations, and, 😃
The fish tried to be stealthy, but just as it made its move, the fly flew. 😃
Folk with "fancy" cameras will know this: stop and start looking at something, suddenly everyone around you stops to see what you're looking at. This happened when I looked up and saw this. :)
Another view of the preceding contraption. Things have levelled off.
A look at the top of the window-washing contraption. (see previous images)
I'm sure it's secure and stable, but it still looks like an act of faith to trust being on that platform. :)

One of the wonderful aspects of the Toronto Zoo is that it is set in a natural forested ravine.

At the far end of the zoo, we can see the ravine cliffs. I love the Canadian Domain for the exercise and for being more immersed in nature. There is another large pond back there with a walking trail around it, and through woods.
One year, they put the elk in with the bison. I wish they did that with more animals. Shared habitats means more space for the animals to roam. Anyway, on this day, we could see the fence dividing free will and contained.
