I met up with my friend Ted this morning for a walk around Humber Bay East Park. It was a sunny morning but quite cold. The trails were bare, a perfect day for a winter walk. We saw a tremendous amount of fresh beaver activity,… Read More
Today on a walk through the Arsenal Lands, adjacent to Marie Curtis Park, we saw a big doe. I think our presence on the trail scared her up. I’ve seen deer in there once before, a few years ago – when I saw 4 of… Read More
