Listening to the cardinal as it sings an evening tune

While gardening today, 
heard the song of the cardinal. 
It sang two different tunes!
There's no clear video of the cardinal since I took the video from a distance with my phone.

Plane Spotting at Danville Park


Went to check out Danville Park to see if I could take photos of aircraft landing at Pearson International Airport.




Although the viewing location is about 25 metres above the surrounding area, 
the distance to the edge of the nearest runway is about 3 kilometres! 
See the plane landing on runway 05
This viewing location is way too far to capture photos of aircraft as they taxi, land or take off.
Wish they consulted plane spotters before investing in this viewing location :)



Here's a little history of the airport




With a 600 mm lens, this is the best I could capture of the smoke when the tires touch the tarmac













That moment when the tires touch the tarmac on landing!






Happy plane spotting!
