Silver Creek - twin creeks: flurry walk with me, pt. 1
Inclement weather and a sore foot kept me off the trails last week, so I figured it was time for another double-header this time around. Off to Etobicoke then, to tackle a pair of creeks which sprout northwest from the Humber River on either side of Eglinton Avenue, beginning with Silver Creek - the one south of Eglinton - which meets the Humber on the border between James Gardens and Scarlett Mills Park:
Quickly through Edenbridge Drive and I'm out into the (mostly) unclaimed strip of land between Valecrest and North Drive:
Right before heading under Royal York Road I once again spot a deer, off in the distance on the other side of the creek. Having failed to capture a pic the last couple of times I've come across one, I thought I'd give my camera's primitive zoom function a try and see what I could get. Well, perhaps it's best I didn't get a nice tight shot here, as the deer was rather lustily evacuating itself at the time:
A brief trek through the brief Edenbrook Park:
Over the bridge now and into St. George's Country Club where the creek ends not in Silver Creek Park (where you'd expect it once did), but just south of Eglinton, by which I traverse back to my next creek:
