The Beaches November 25 2017

The weather looked ominous. Thick grey clouds all over Toronto. Raining in some places. We headed over to the Beaches area anyway.  It turned out to be a very nice afternoon for a walk. The rain held off and the temperatures hovered around 10C.

Started at the RC Harris building (not my photo, I forgot to take photos except little library photos).

We met some great dog people running their dogs up and down the RC Harris grounds and on the beach. I didn't take a photo so here's my interpretation:

We saw dozens of Long Tailed ducks bobbing on Lake Ontario. They nest in the Arctic and some reside on the lower Great Lakes during the winter to feast on zebra mussel. 

Collected a couple of handfuls of beach glass. Looking for bits of glass turns out to be very focused and meditative. I didn't take a photo but this one gives a good idea of the bits and pieces we found:

Here are the 3 little libraries we visited:

Silver Birch Avenue

Kingswood Road

Fernwood Park Avenue

To finish off our walk we had coffee at the Remarkable Bean. Sat on the benches enjoying the warm November weather.
