Thunder Bay – Saturday

A male Goldeneye observing a group of young Mergansers.   Common Mergansers?  I’m not sure.

Someone spent time and effort to construct this inuksuk. Has a crab vibe to it.

They got that delivery item through the gate.  The next step is to get it through one of those openings.  Should be fun to watch.

OK.  Caused by gulls or humans?  There are people who rummage through trash cans looking for bottles and cans that can be returned for the deposit.

Anyway, this being the weekend, will anyone cleanup this mess before Monday?

Not a great start to summer.

An empty Heineken pack

This is one of the favourite dining spots in the north core.   The diners leave their trash behind.   They seem to have money to buy stuff.  None of what I see here is considered healthy in my book.

Not the same type of wooden spoon that my mother wielded back in the day.  This one is much smaller.    This one would cause zero fear in a misbehaving child.

Broken something.

Nice colour

This work in the downtown north core should be completed by ????  No rush I guess.  Be nice to have a week or so of summer where there is no construction going on in the north core.

Sunken Garden at Hillcrest Park is getting its flowers for the summer.  They will be there for a couple of months before they get removed.

Lots of people using the stairs leading from Bay Street to Hillcrest Park.  They are using as an exercise machine replacement.  I used the stairs for the purpose they were constructed, to walk from Hillcrest Park down to Bay Street.  I was in the way.  People passing me going up and going down the stairs. They were in a hurry.

Nobody around  all week. Nobody around all winter.  Today, it was packed.
