….thanks to Norm 2.0 for hosting Thursday Doors
Walking through the neighbourhood today in South Etobicoke I came across some beautiful doors, some new and some old.






….from my garden

…..not sure why but this is the fourth time I’ve tried to write about this
As many of you know, I retired from teaching on June 30. Four of us all retired this year so there were many parties to attend. The first party was put on by the Toronto District School Board. I’ve been with this board for my entire career.
Back in May over 900 employees from the board were celebrated. That’s how many people retired this year. The highlight of the evening happened at the end of the evening when each of us was gifted a bronze school bell. At the countdown every recipient rung their bell at the same time. It was deafening. In the video below only three of us were ringing the bells.
….also from the RBG in Hamilton

…..another gem from the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton

…..one at the cottage and the other at the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton
Last week when I went to the RBG with my daughter, Gaelan and my granddaughter, Winnie we were lucky enough to see some of the sculptures made with Lego. One of the creations was a very large hummingbird taking nectar from a very large lego flower.

This next hummingbird came by my feeder last weekend.

…..thanks to Cee for hosting Odd Ball Photo Challenge
Some of my odd ball photos come from experimenting with my camera and my different lenses. Here are a few at I took at the cottage the last two weeks.
