I’ve followed the Mimico Creek starting at where it flows out to Lake Ontario in Mimico all the way up to Malton just north of the airport. I’ve almost made it to the source. I expect a few more trips and I will have completed this funny little project of mine.

It’s been interesting to follow this creek over the years. It’s actually a really great way to get to know a region. Just follow the water…it’s crazy how many different terrains it will take you through. Under highways, through golf courses, along backyards, parks and through industrial areas.

I started doing this about 6 years ago and took a huge break of about 5 years. But i’ve picked it up again and i’m really enjoying the process.

The pictures I take are not so much of the creek but the things I see as a result of following its path. I’ll post more of these pics but for now here is a couple from an area very close to where I stopped following the creek 5 years ago. This is a pretty industrial area just north of the airport.
