Wordless Wednesday That must be tasty food that those people are holding up for the birds! Can you imagine standing outside and having that many birds trying to get food out of your hand? Kind of neat, but maybe a little frightening at the same time, I think.

Join Last week Chris and I took our dog to one of our cities (Toronto) beautiful parks for a nice long walk outdoors. Our dog had a ball running around in the off leash areas and uhm … rolling in mud! and we had a nice time watching her, talking to another dog owner [...]

Wordless Wednesday A wild flower that I came across while on a walk with my husband and dog in Toronto’s Taylor Creek Park. Do you see what’s above the flower? It’s a snail. A pest I’m sure, but it looked pretty beside the flower.

Join My perennial New York Asters are in full bloom and they are putting on a spectacular display as usual.

Wordless Wednesday Have you ever seen anything like this? It must have taken years for this tree to be shaped to grow into the form of a chair. Very cool!

Wow, the weather switches around here from one day to the next! On Sunday it was extremely hot and humid. This of course was thanks to the warm weather blowing in, in advance of the remnants of Hurricane Ike. Late in the evening it became quite windy and the rain came - not as much rain [...]
