Windfest 2012

Well these people in Ashbridges Bay took on a new meaning to the phrase, ' go fly a kite ' at 'Windfest 2012' 

While travelling on Lakeshore Blvd westward bound on Saturday September 22nd you couldn't help but notice a spectacular array of colourful kites adorning the skies overhead Woodbine Beach.


A brief stop over to take a closer look.  There was a kite shop tent which had any and everything one would need to buy for flying a kite.  Great for a novice or the more serious air lifters.

My fave was the giant blue fish, which I don't mind saying made all the rest pale by comparison, but its not about competition here, is all about creative, interactive fun for them..after a few photos, off exploring again.

Progreston Falls .. Again!


We went back to Progreston Falls again, for a quick visit to take another look at this beauty in Carlisle.

This area is so peaceful and has a very nostalgic feel to it.  The last time I had photographed the falls from a very unique angle off the left bank while perched on a 45 degree angle!


I find though that getting lower by using the metal staircase will give you a clearer access point to take a good shot, without risking your life or getting wet..  Of course please be careful, as in any waterfall area you never know what to expect.  I found that the best defense is to buy a good pair of rubber boots with solid traction, at least.  I wear hunting boots with vulcanized rubber and have warm neoprene lining and adjustable straps so this is a very good choice when you're buying a pair.



Respect this particular waterfall as I do believe it is designated as private property.  You will find an interesting history with Carlisle.  (search this blog for 'Progreston Falls-Carlisle').
