My Own Island

Well, that's how it felt anyway. In the middle of summer I was lucky enough to get Toronto Island to myself. I guess the fact that it was a cool, foggy, weekday did help.
But it was a bit creepy when I didn't run into another soul on my 2 hour walk. After walking for a while I laid down on bench on the boardwalk and took a nap. When I woke up and looked over on the ground I found this adorable little yellow heart. It made me smile.

Lightning Storm

I went to Royal Canadian Yacht Club, over on Toronto Island the other evening. When I arrived on the dock it was warm and sunny. I was doodling on a bench when I felt the wind really pick up and saw a big storm front coming in. All the boats started racing for shore, the sky and water turned dark and bursts of lightning began to dance over the city skyline. It was quite a show!
