Beautiful weather by the lake!
| Posted on May 10, 2006 at 10:07 PM |
We've had a string of beautiful days, warm and sunny, so I took Spike and went to Ashbridge's Bay, a large lakeside
park only 5 minutes by car from my house. It's just a little too far
for us to walk there. It is adjacent to Woodbine Beach, which is such a
broad beach that it doesn't photograph well. In the middle of summer,
it is heavily used for beach volleyball, which will produce much more
interesting pix.
So we pick up the walk as Spike and I get further out on the point, where the big lake is out in front of us, while Ashbridge's Bay and some boating backwaters are on our right.
These are all clickables as they look better when you look at the large photo.
In this little backwater, there is a beaver living behind the rough stuff on the left side. Maybe an attempt at a dam? The main lake is just over the ridge, behind the trees.

This cove of Ashbridge's Bay is a popular mooring spot for boaters all summer long. It is adjacent to the ABYC, just out of sight to the right.
At this spot I found a man with binoculars trained on the opposite shore
(seen in the first photo) and he was the one who told me he had finally seen the beaver.

Although it was Monday afternoon, there
were quite a few people in the park. This little family was picnicking
by the lake. It's a lot like being at the ocean, but without the salty
smell!
This older couple was enjoying an
afternoon stroll by the lake. The birds were singing everywhere;
redwing blackbirds predominated. The man with the binoculars said that
he had identified 20 different varieties that afternoon.
Two views of downtown from my location out on the point. The left one is at regular lens length,
while the right one is with the 10X zoom lens. The boaters were out at
last, enjoying the glorious afternoon. It was about 72F. ...at last!
Hope your enjoyed your visit to Lake Ontario and the park.
Now we are gearing up for a week of rain!
