The light wasn't the best but it was great fun just to get out again on a fairly nice day. If you wren't able to get out, I hope you enjoy the pics.

I did the long way round- Started at the Pier 4 area off of James N then Van Wagner's beach, Eastport Rd.,  Burlington canal,and ended at lasalle marina. It was such a nice day I had to take advantage of it and its always nice to share with others.  I am glad you enjoyed them . :D

Really nice selection Khalli!  The Coot's a hoot... crazy feet! ;)

We were thinking of heading down that side today, but the weather's not cooperating. Cheers

Must have been really cool to get so close to Woody.

Yes it was nice to get some close ups of 'woody'. It seems he has been around the marina for a while.
