Original Toronto Star caption: First; flap your wings. Mother goose takes advantage of this week's slowly improving weather to give her goslings a lesson in how to take off as she and the family go for a stroll on the dock of the Bronte Harbor Yacht Club. It was to be even warmer today - up to 20C (68F) - under partly sunny skies.
