Fountains and Birds Down by Woodbine Park

After lunch, the girls, Yo-Bob and I headed down to Woodbine Park. I took the ball chucker in order to wear-out Yo-Bob, and the girls played in the playground. The fountain had also been turned back on, and the water-level of the pond has risen considerably, making it attractive for people and for the local birdlife.

This female Red-Winged Blackbird alighted on an adjacent bench, and allowed me to take a couple of quick pics before she flew off

About Me

Name: Keith Schengili-Roberts

Location: Toronto, Ontario, Canada

An early 40-ish married Dad who has written some technology books, teaches at the University as an instructor in Information Architecture and in Content Management, and works at a certain graphics card company as their Manager for Documentation & Localization. The blog is about whatever comes up, and is meant more as a personal journal that I share with friends and family in order to let them know what's going on in mine and my family's life. As a rule I don't talk about anything work-related here, so most of the musings are of a personal rather than of a professional nature. If you enjoy as well, great, if not, there are plenty of other blogs out there to look at... ;-)
