Island vacation: 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m.

Toronto Islands, of course. Bicycles all the way from our house, onto the ferry, around the islands and back home again. We had a leisurely lunch at the Rectory on Ward’s Island and went sightseeing.
Most of our photos are touristy, because that’s what we were doing. Postcard shots are everywhere. Next time (and there will be lots of next times, I hope), we can look for interesting details. Today we were just blown away by the vistas and views.
We visited the cottagers section, too. People actually live year ’round in the park and own their little homes on leased land. I think it’s a very good thing to have residents in the park, though their presence has been controversial. Dream location, and very quaint. The owners can maintain and renovate but they aren’t allowed to expand.
You’ll see a few of my close-up attempts, using my little camera’s zoom power. Workers covering huge piles of something (salt for winter roads?) caught my eye. And we zoomed in to find Sugar Beach, back on Queen’s Quay.
