My son has refereed many soccer games including on the fields at L’Amoreaux Park in Scarborough. Once he told me of a large forest at the north end and, the next day, I came to have a look.

Since then I have visited L’Amoreaux many times and led TDSB walks here.

Here are some photos from last May:

On February 7, 2016 I was here with a group and we had a good look at a Barred Owl. All of these photos were taken on that day:

Today was overcast and very windy. I was glad to have lots of layers of clothing!

NATURE POETRY

The sunset embers smolder low,
The Moon climbs o’er the hill, 
The peaks have caught the alpenglow,
The robin’s song is still.    – John L. Stoddard (1850–1931)
