Our penultimate day in Toronto started early. I took the streetcar to the park and walked all over Samuel Smith Park. I was able to see two new birds and add them to my list, the Belted Kingfisher and the American Wigeon. I was out for a couple of hours and after looking at my exercise app I saw that I had stomped about enough to get almost 12,000 steps. Then Leslie and I finished packing and cleaning the AirBnB. Off to Ireland we go!
I used colored pencils to make the design on these rocks. Then I headed out to the waters edge and placed the rocks out for others to discover.
