My nose is froze

chickenfeetIt's a cold, wet long weekend Sunday in the Tdot. I biked out to the end of the Leslie Street Spit in a steady drizzle and despite being frozen I got a few pictures.
I like the spit. It's a funny place. It's a long spit of land providing shelter to the harbour. There is a long term plan for the area whereby fill from construction sites in the city is dumped there to create artificial wetland habitat so it's a strange mix of rubbish dump and nature reserve. On a day like today when land, lake and sky merge into a birdsong filled greyness it really feels like somewhere like Minsmere but with a great city in the background.
Artificial pond
Goose
Swans
Ducks and Beaver Lodge
More Evidence of Beaver
The Spit's Scruffy Lighthouse
A Very Grey Toronto
Beware! There are clowns lurking in the mirk.
