Deer in the Don Valley

May 29, 2010

A young buck on the hill beside the Don Valley Parkway

The deer looked at me, nonchalantly...

There's a story that goes with this hike into the valley, the target of which included the Beechwood Wetland. I also wanted to find the old mill race, and I got some nice pictures of that, too.

The deer was about halfway between the Beechwood Wetland and the Beechwood Drive underpass, on the hillside not ten feet (three metres for you young'ns) from the Don Valley Parkway, with its early Saturday morning traffic whizzing downtown.

My secret hideaway

May 29, 2010

Do you recognize these chairs? They are in my secret hideaway. What are they called, anyway? Deck chairs? Lawn chairs? Muskoka chairs?

A pair of chairs

So where is my secret hideaway? Let's zoom out a little and see the immediate surroundings.

Chairs in my secret hideaway

My secret hideaway is a place of beauty, serenity, sunshine (today), and peace, if not total silence. That's a hint.

If you know where this spot is, send in your guess, you could win a prize. I haven't decided on the prize, because this is a really hard challenge. And of course I should mention that this isn't in Muskoka or anything, it's somewhere in the Don Valley. I'll give you a ~real~ big hint and tell you that it's south of the Forks.

Okay, here's another picture of my secret hideaway, from the side. Now the challenge should be a lot easier.

If you think you know where this is, and can pinpoint the area to within a couple hundred yards (metres for you young'ns), contact me and you could win a prize.
