Boardwalk Masses
Gnats by the million cover tree branches on the boardwalk – cyclists beware. Presented here in full HD, click image to view larger for all the gory details.
Sea of Light
Ferry William Inglis sails on a sea of light, in advance of an approaching April ice storm.
Bombardier Supermoon
The rarest of Toronto wildlife: a delivered Bombardier product. A Bombardier Q400 flies in front of the rising supermoon on final approach to Billy Bishop.
Breakwall
Heavy steam rises above the breakwall at the end of Ward’s beach during a -22°C cold snap.
Eagle Overload
A bald eagle tears a hapless cormorant to shreds atop one of the new sky ride towers by St. Andrews by the Lake. The cormorant debris field spread right across the lagoon ice to the farm.
Fluff Camouflage
Apparently we’re not the only ones cursed with poplar fluff. Even map turtles basking in the Doughnut Island environs are susceptible.
Centerville Mink
A mink tours the shoreline of Centerville, enjoying the complete solitude during the Flood of 2017.
Daily Life
It’s now early June, and life in the Flood of 2017 seems to have taken on a new normal. Laura and Leida talk on Cibola while the lagoon floods the road beneath them.
Peacock Blues
The escaped peacock, unofficial mascot of the Flood of 2017, has taken to roosting on Freya’s roof.
GFL Fire
Fire crews work to contain the fire at the Green For Life facility in the port lands. The skyline was shrouded by billowing smoke as Islanders worked to sandbag Bayview Ave., a surreal experience.
Porter Waterline
Water inches higher towards the runways at TCCA / Billy Bishop / the Island airport. And this image was taken on a dead-calm day.
Not Just Another Pretty Face
An escaped peacock becomes an impromptu shed dweller on Willow Ave. As if the Flood scenario isn’t strange enough already, waking up at 5:00am to the cries of a peacock ringing out over Ward’s Island puts the whole situation over the top.
Swans in the Flood
Lagoon levels appear to be fluctuating by about six inches, and the QCYC swan nest was probably flooded this morning. As of Sunday afternoon, the parents appear to be sitting dejected on the QCYC dock.
