Just a Beautiful Sunday

I was looking forward to this weekend all week. It's been awhile since I've had a stay-in weekend dedicated to chores and projects, so I had a fair list of to-dos for today. But after the drive to and from Smiths Falls, the clouds and dueling blue/grey sky called me outward bound. I didn't want to be caught in the rain since I don't have a proper waterproof camera bag but I didn't want to drive. Where to go...?
I hopped onto Kel's folding bike, did a few laps around our visitors parking area to make sure the bike wasn't going to collapse, and went on with my nature adventure!
My legs were working hard and a few hours later I arrived at a remote location where I was at one with nature.
Wow it was so worth it to bike for all those hours!
ACTUALLY....this is just a 5min bike ride away from home. My building is behind those in the background. Photography can be deceiving, no?
Lots of people were feeding the ducks, swans and geese. I must have been seriously distracted by the gorgeous light, because when I look at the close-up shots of these birds now I'm getting nervous.
Honestly I was out for about 2 hours and I probably stopped for 20-30 minutes to take pictures and just enjoy the sounds and sight of a beautiful Sunday afternoon.
Did I accomplish what I had set out to do this weekend? Nope, not even close.

But I can honestly say it has been time well spent.   I hope you have a chance to check out your neighbourhood and discover something new and beautiful.
