- A lone gull skirts the water as the Scarborough Bluffs rise in the distance
-
- Buried in the greenery, a grasshopper takes a rest
-
- Flowers brighten the sidewalk
-
- A sparrow grabs a bit of sun and seed
-
- Framed by nature, the sailboat catches the breeze
-
- A wader dares the waters of Lake Ontario, sandals in hand
-
- A handful of wasps (hornets?) latch onto the last flowers of summer
-
- A monarch stands bright orange against the sand
-
- As the milkweed prepare to explode their seed, a snail and lady bug rest
-
- A bumble and hornet visit the same hangout
-
- A yellow rose gives one last burst of glory
