I spent a day on Toronto Island with my sister and Aunt this week.

Part of what I love about the island is feeling so far from the bustle and concrete  of downtown, without actually having to leave the city limits

There’s the famous CN Tower in the background, looking rather wee.

There were an extraordinary number of spiders in the residential area; I think they must have have a good year.

Do please biggify that one - you really can’t appreciate the sunlight playing on the webs at this resolution.

Couldn’t help taking a few shots of some run-down playground equipment

And I would be remiss if I neglected to post this fantastic custom bike costume that we saw on the ferry.  Apparently the young lady’s boyfriend made it for her.  It was originally a tiger, but then its head fell off D:

As always, you can find more photos in my gallery.
