Cheval Blanc/Whitehorse rapids shoreline.

fish hooks

At Parc Des Rapides-du-Cheval-Blanc / Whitehorse rapids and I found a fisher-persons tool box without the box. The "magic" tools of metal hooks and lead weights were on the shoreline. This is worse than finding broken glass, as a metal hook is intended to hook something. I counted 41 (forty one) fishing hooks left behind on the shoreline, waiting for some child, pet dog, or wild animal to get stuck on them. I took what I could find to the garbage.

Tiny but tedious.

Later in the day I went to Collège/cégep gérald-godin and picked up a few pieces of garbage from the shoreline.

At Park Paquin I put on plastic croc shoes and cleaned the shoreline of what garbage I could see.

Park Paquin or RDP 200

Nature photo of the lake/river

As I arrived there was a male duck on the shoreline.
The water is full of tiny fish.
I did not bring gloves or a bag, so only collected a tiny amount of garbage.

At a park by the river I picked up a few pieces of metal and a broken glass jug.

Park Paquin, or RDP 200 I walked the shoreline and cleaned up a bit of garbage.

View of the river/riviere  des prairies. The river opens to a small lake in this area.

These wild roses come back every summer. The city had removed all the other wild rose bushes last year.

June 3, 2015

I cleaned a bit of Park Paquin.

I found a NEW kind of plastic fork, they chromed it to look like a (real) metal one. I broke it in half, the buyer of the fork could have used it much longer.

Two large dead fish were on the shoreline. Stinky and full of flies. Some fisher-person had a good time.
