Entertainment/ Photo Hunter

 

Dressed for the zoo

This week's Photo Hunter challenge: Entertainment

Watching people at the Toronto Zoo is every bit as entertaining as photographing the animals. I wanted to get a better photo of these two but, unfortunately, other zoo visitors kept walking between them and my camera.

Sit A While/ Bench

Front yard bench next to walkway

Some people's front gardens look a lot like private parks. I wonder if the owners sit here and watch the passersby.

Final Glow/ Sky Watch

Star in the west going down over East Gwillimbury

And nobody seemed to notice! Perhaps they were all inside getting ready to watch the evening news.

Sunday Afternoon / Sky Watch

Sun and clouds over Port Perry horse farm

This is what it looked like last Sunday afternoon just outside Port Perry. It was a delightful day. In the distance you can see the horses -- free to roam the farms many fenced-in acres -- think so too.

Through Arbor/ Watery Wednesday

Sun going down over Lake Simcoe

The air this summer feels cold. The days have been lovely (to my way of thinking) but the nights have been chilly. Not cool enough to make ice cubes, mind you, but definitely jacket weather. Tonight, for example, the temperature is going down to 10°C (50°F).

My perennial gardens love it but I can't help feeling sorry for cottagers who dream of swimming in the lake. Br-r-r. Now my toes are thinking about the cold and want me to hunt for a second pair of socks. (Yep, my brain is in my feet. LOL)

Well, no matter how cool the weather it's still fun to watch the sun go down over the water ...so lets peek through this arbor.
