Streetwalkin': Resorting to the Resort

One of my clients stopped by my house to pick up some product yesterday and advised me that it was smokier where I lived than in Harrison, at the lake. Of course I was all over that and decided to head up to the lake, camera in hand, of course.

I first drove up to Greenpointe, a section of the lake that's a bit quieter. Very quiet yesterday. On the way there, I spied some driftwood in a cove that was inviting, even with the smoke.


I noted a heron sitting on a branch and zoomed in as he took flight and landed on another one, squawking at me in it's prehistoric voice.


Looking down into a private section of the bay from above.


Noting a woman sitting with her feet in the water, reading, she was a great subject.


And so she wouldn't notice me (she didn't anyway), I hadn't realized there was a windsurfer out on the lake.




Back into town to the resort area with the main road lined with shops and restaurants along the beachfront, it was a perfect place to people watch!

This lady looked like she was from my generation of hippies, and I loved her colourful dress.


This guy was waving at someone in the restaurant as he passed.


It's hazardous driving down the main road, as cyclists tend to ride the wrong way down the one way street.


This guy worked at the local market and came out for a smoke break.


A 'biker-chick' and her hubby, each with their own Harley.




Loved the trio of umbrellas on the outdoor patio of a restaurant.


A server at the restaurant.


A Sikh walking on the street instead of the sidewalk. Avoiding my camera, perhaps?


Loved the contrast of this hat with the shadows.


You see all manner of dress and hats here.


Checking out the menu outside of the patio.


In his own world.


I hadn't realized what was going on when I took this photo, but look at the woman's face, she looks decidedly peeved!


Another hat, looks well used.


Heading down to the beach, a city worker was on garbage detail.


This elderly lady was totally lost in her own world until her hubby called her to go the other way.


Although I'd zoom in on her hand in future, I cropped the photo to her hand as I loved the character in it holding her cane. A little grainy due to the cropping, but I like the composition.


This guy looks like a bouncer sitting outside an ice cream shop - lol!


And this is what was going on inside it!


Smokey on the golf course as I left.


You can see how smokey it is in this photo, it's almost like mist swirling around the trees.
