Playground dawn .....

The playground at Spencer Smith park in Burlington borders Lake Ontario.
The promenade there is a favourite place for strollers; cyclists; walkers; joggers and photographers too!
Winter time is usually the most spectacular, with the powerful storms causing huge waves, and later the wonderful ice formations on anything and everything in sight.

Our summer .....

I think this summer has been the wetest on record. If it isn't, it certainly seems that way!! I guess one benefit is that we don't have to worry about the low lake levels around here for a while ......
