The fish are back


We went for a walk through the valley today, just to see if the salmon had started their run. And they have. It's early days yet. We say a few ripples that seemed out of place and then managed to get these pictures from the main bridge just past the Rainbow Tunnel. It's an incredible sight to see. The fish are about 2 and a half feet long (and we've seen larger in other years). The whole walk was lovely. The sun shone, couples, families and dog-walkers abound. Chatting with each other as they pass, even if it's just a simple "nice morning".

Take the time to go for a little walk and look at the surface of the water. It doesn't take too long to see the silvery sides of a rather large salmon making its way up river.

Summer Party a Huge Success


The day was perfect. The sun shone, the company was excellent, the children were running around and even the fire department showed up. By all standards, the first Annual Green Belt/Don Mills Home Owners Association community party was an all out success. Over 30 families congregated in the park to share lunch and introductions to one another. To make the event fully memorable, the fire department showed up with the community truck to give the kids a chance to climb in and through a real fire truck.

All in all, a great day for one and all. Next year, we hope there will be even more neightbours out to meet each other. We live in an awesome neighbourhood - let's celebrate it.

Any body who took photos, please share them.
