Silhouettes


Two Toronto Police mounted officers on the banks of Grenadier Pond in High Park. In the early days of Toronto this was the site of a terrible accident. A troop of British soldiers on horseback tried to cross the frozen pond in winter, fell through the ice and died. Posted by Picasa

Boyd Park Conservation Area. These trees will either become part of the Pierre and Janet Berton Trail or be cut down for the Pine Valley Extension. City of Vaughan holds their fate in their hands. Posted by Picasa

Fungi at Boyd Posted by Picasa

I wanted to get the effect of the double canopy at Boyd. The evergreen and the maple. So I lay on my back in the leaves and shot up at the sky. I like the way it looks. Posted by Picasa

Here's Ricardo, looking very photographer-like. Only he never once took out his camera all day long. Tsk. Posted by Picasa

Eglinton Flats. They're re-naturalizing the banks around the pond at the flats. So there's all this snow-fencing to protect the new growth. It looks hideous but I guess it'll be a good thing in the end. Posted by Picasa

Old wall mural in Weston. Love it. The look on the woman's face is like... wow, a 125 dollar diamond ring... next step, the 20,000 dollar house in the suburbs.. Posted by Picasa

This isn't the greatest quality shot but I was so far away and no telephoto lens yesterday. Richard noticed something weird about a trio of ducks. Two of them were mallards and one, I haven't a clue what sort... was following them around like one of the family. It was the sweetest thing. We made up a story about the odd duck being an orphan or a mismatched egg. Maybe it isn't just a story. Posted by Picasa

Why do people feel this compulsion to carve their names into living things? I wish they wouldn't. Get a tattoo instead.  Posted by Picasa

Took a little break from work yesterday and walked through Boyd Convservation Area. The leaves were spectacular in places. This looks unreal, but no, there was a brilliant yellow carpet all down the footpath.. Posted by Picasa
