Plane spotting

The runway is not visible from here, 
but finally found a place where it's easy to park your car 
and do some peaceful plane spotting while having a cup of tea!

This is Emirates A380 EK 242 just after take off now from Pearson International Airport, 
from YYZ to DXB.

It's about 12 kilometres away ...




Now it's almost above me but it's so fast ...
approximately 150 knots (275 kilometres per hour) 
and I'm holding my heavy lens free hand
From this photo you can probably guess where I am ...

And it's gone!


I know it's time for my evening walk when I see my Lufthansa flight 
LH 471 YYZ to FRA
Boeing 747-400


More plane spotting here

Lovely day to go for a walk along Lake Ontario




Relaxing ...
Thinking of JethroTull and Ian Anderson on flute 
whan I see that second bird :)


Look at those ducklings basking in the sun

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.
