A late January stroll at Rotary Park

It was a chilly day to be wandering around Rotary Park in Ajax, but we did it anyway!

Luckily, the snow has tapered off since early January, and the beach was empty (besides the occasional dog walker and bicycler), so we were able to play around with the exposure on my new camera. Did I mention I got a full frame this holiday season? 🙂

My favourite photo of the day is the first one in this set. It didn’t really look like winter weather at Rotary Park.

We snuck up on this little guy, who we named Pudgy. He was waiting for us to leave; he wanted to finish eating the seeds he found nearby.

Before we headed home, we took a drive down Lakeridge Rd. in Uxbridge, to admire their snow, and to take in the colourful sunset.
