Approaching the longest day of the year.  Sky is lit around 5-ish a.m. and stays the same till 9:45-ish p.m.  Nothing is better than out for a walk at 7-ish a.m.

There I went…   Air fresh.  Birds chirping.  Walkers in groups or single.  Weather just right…not scotching hot, not windy, not chilly.  No rain too.

Then 2.5 hours of chit chat over morning dim sum specials with friends.  Cleared old cans of paint, old cell phones and expired medicine at home and took them to recycle on this Environment Day organized by the district.

Back home around 2 p.m.

A fruitful morning.

Not to forget…photo!

Enjoy “my trail” of this morning…..

Thought I could take advantage of the summer weather (25-29 C) and took a day off to Center Island today.  I went; but the island was closed due to the high flooding.

I walked the same waterfront but further down to the west and made 12,900 steps today.

What used to be a walkway next to the lake was under water today.

Petals of pink flowers (don’t ask me what kind) were being blown off the trees.  Yachts were rocking to and fro.

Toronto Lakefront of today…

That strip between Bay Street and Spadina Avenue is more than just a promenade, water and trees.

It is a transformed area.

Enjoy this park, garden, man-made beach, man-made wetland, marinas, wave deck, schooners, restaurants, pubs, supermarkets, neighborhood centers, canoe and kayak clubs and the whatnot of today.

This is a good place to see for the tourists and a superb place to own your condo too.
