After briefly giving rise to a pond in the middle of Wychwood Park, Taddle Creek goes downhill towards Dovercourt Road to fall back into Toronto's drainage system.

Development can devour everything. My photo post this morning mapped the brief surface presence of Taddle Creek, one of many streams and rivers in Toronto diverted and hidden for the ease of construction. Taddle Creek isn’t even the nearest to me; that is reserved for Garrison Creek.

The rivers of Toronto have been hidden over superbly. In other places, it may have been hilled that were leveled, in others ravines and valleys that were filled, in any number of places forests chopped down and farmland consumed.

What has happened to nature in your particular corner of the world? Does recognizable nature even exist? Or do you live in a place not yet halfway to being deterraformed?
