One of my favourite things to do when I lived in Toronto was to bike along the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail. The last place I lived was close to Lake Ontario in Etobicoke.
Photos that I shot at the lake are mostly of birds and scenery so to change it up a bit I did some cartoon photos.
Any sunny day would find me on my bike heading to the lake from my apt. The ride to the lake was only five minutes and I always had my camera in hand; eager with anticipation at what I might be able to capture with a click of my Canon.
me and my bike!
I also would bike to work; it was a 13 kilometre ride and again I had my camera, ready to shoot any thing interesting I may come across.
My bike ride to work was just over six kilometres of road riding on Lakeshore Blvd, sometimes quite a harrowing experience. Fortunately the bike path was the last half so I got to enjoy riding along the lake, taking in nature; especially beautiful at 6:30 am on a bright sunny day. Following the path along I would encounter geese, swans, the odd blue heron, and lots of bees flying among the beautiful flowers. Closer to work I rode past Ontario Place and then through the CNE grounds to Fort York Armoury.

I still love to bike; my red Peugeot mountain bike was retired a few years ago and I now enjoy a Trek Hybrid. I am looking forward to racking up lots of kilometres this year as the weather changes from these snowy winter days to less snowy spring days.
Till next time, stay home and stay safe.
