Notes

Tried to test at end of eastern pier but didn't have long enough with selfie stick, so opted for spot along shoreline of Lake Ontario, just east of pier on Etobicoke side of Marie Curtis Park (East). Dried algae on rocks. No smell today. Lots of debris and garbage near the pier, including 20-30 golf balls (golf courses upstream along Etobicoke Creek). Sunny day. A little bit of rain yesterday. A few walkers, bicycles, and strollers but hardly anyone on the beaches (both Etobicoke and Mississauga sides). Young child afraid of bees told to step into the flowers so her dad could take a picture. The answer was no! Father said if you don't bother them, they won't bother you. True for bees. Wasps are another story.
