(Not) Wordless Wednesday

A few words, not an over-abundance of them. 

 

As of today, I'm off on staycation, not back to work until October 15th. Hurrah! I have, however, picked up whatever is going around these days, the latest variant of COVID or a cold or whatever. Hopefully I'll be fine by week's end (started Sunday afternoon). If not, I'll just muddle along as best I can, and I have lots of books to read. 

 

Below, a few pics from Sunday's walk downtown. It would be nice to find new spots, but a lot of places I used to walk through I avoid now, when on my own. Such is urban living in 2025.

 

Five year old Joseph, very friendly!

S/he was looking for a bit of my custard tart.

This apartment or condo building is right on the water and they always have lovely gardens (inside the fence and outside the fence). Everything is a bit crispier than usual this year, though, with the drought.

The usual shot of one of the Murney Towers at the downtown marina.

 

We startled each other, this grass snake and I. She (or he) was sunning herself by the sidewalk, so I got down to snap a quick pic and talk to her. Snakes don't bother me, but then, as far as I know, there's only one poisonous snake species native to Ontario, and I think it's found more in northern areas.

 

 

 

 

That's it! I'll be in and out, probably more out (I hope) for the next few weeks, will check in/visit when I can. Take care!
