My son David, who is a budding photog (argh, not three in one house!) took this shot of graffitti on Queen last month. 

Cooper, looking natty but a bit dorky, but hey, he's warm.. out behind our house. 

On the way back from Algonquin the other day we wound our way back along all sorts of backroads. Found this old abandoned farmhouse. 

.. and closer to Toronto, in the town of Sharon, there's this amazing building. It's not a church at all, it was built by former Quakers in the 1820's to raise money for the poor. They were called the "Children of Peace" and created the first civilian band in Canada and the first organ in Ontario. It's a lovely building in a magical setting. 

Great volleyball shot by R.

One of my usual work-avoidance tactics, I've been poking around in Ricardo's photos via our LAN looking for colourful shots to chase away the last of the winter blues. Found some nice ones. Too bad he doesn't have a blog of his own, guess I'll need to post them here. ;-) 

composition AND colour. 

Really super shot of the skyline, Ricardo.

Our "backyard" 

Found this one in his folder, but I would lay money on it, it's one of my shots.. That's the trouble with two photogs in one house. ;-) 

For all the "hair police" out there who have been bugging me for years to do something with my long hair, here's a bulletin. I paid a visit to Bill Angst of Angst on Queen and he cropped it all off, and not in Photoshop, either. It was a little like pruning a wild bush. We were knee deep in hair I think. Thanks Bill! 

Never run with pitchforks.

Canadian Gothic? 

This is what happens when a cement truck hits a streetcar. Remarkably little damage if you consider the forces at work. At Strachan and the Lakeshore. 

How many times did I make him jump the puddle? I'm not telling.
