Fall in the Park

We were at the park again this afternoon and there is a noticeable change from two weeks ago with the leaves starting to get their fall colours.   We had a sunny hot day with high of 29C but by late afternoon when we went to the park it started to cloud over and was a very pleasant 23C.

As I mentioned when I posted two weeks ago about being at the park, Pine Island is our favourite place to go for a view of the lake.  I hadn't walked around to the side of the island along the walkway under the waterfall before.  We also walked around to the upper lookout above this waterfall.  I am so glad to be able to do some walking without getting out of breath.  I carry my oxygen tank but just use it at 1.5 litres/min while walking compared to the 4 litres/min I used to need.    And there are a lot of benches around the island that we can sit on when we want to for a while.  We had a very nice time in the park.
   
Update: Here is a link with more information and pictures for the waterfall on Pine Island on the old Broad Street Bridge.
