Spit

These photos are two strides west of shite technically, but the subject is a saviour enough in this instance that I post them here.

This beautiful red hawk was chasing mice on the Leslie St. spit this morning.

If you want, you can review the photos to discover where Nikon's incredible autofocus technology has actually provided the sharpest focus (e.g. not on the bird) because the operator was too busy trying to capture this magnificent creature to remember the AF had been left at a setting more fitting for dead-still architecture...

I've just discovered the Leslie St. spit. Still confused how I ran all those miles in this city and never made it out onto the spit until last weekend.

If you go, go early (gates open at 9 a.m.) before the rest of the city arrives in roller blades, running shoes or the seats of bikes.
