Mouth of creek just north of boat launch : Mimico Creek

Walking east along Lake Ontario's waterfront toward Mimico Creek from my home, I came across a sign that said 'Toronto Cycling Music Festival' today at Humber Bay West Park. Had no idea. Naturally I took a detour to see what was up. Fun surprise on the waterfront. Listened to good band playing, ran into a friend, signed up to support campaign to improve bike infrastucture in Toronto. Great event! Headed back toward the creek that hugs the park, noticing again how low the water is these days. So low that an egret was fishing IN the mouth of the creek, when normally they just hang out in the shallower wetlands on the side. Also spotted a heron hunched on a log. Swan family, too. Windy, very windy. Also cold. Today for the walk over, I had to put on a toque. That signifies the first day of fall in my mind. It's only Sept 9. Too early! :)
