The last photograph on my Lumix Panasonic is of our dog Frances sunning herself on our deck on March 31st.

On my iPhone the last photos in March are ones that were sent via WhatsApp and landed in my Photos page. These two are my daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Sevin. In the second shot you can see the new shiner that Sevin is sporting. She’s just learning to walk and she took a tumble and fell on the edge of a chair.

The last photo that I took on my iPhone is just before I got back in the car after our hike along the Etobicoke Creek on Tuesday.

Lost #8

Posted on March 31, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…unfortunately many of the disposable masks are not really lost, merely tossed aside

Even when I was teaching I could never understand how children could lose snow pants, winter jackets and boots and not set off alarms at home. It’s one thing, however, to not bring home clothing from school but how do you lose one boot in the park and not notice?

A Variety for my Thursday Trios

Posted on March 25, 2021 by Mama Cormier

…thanks for checking out Thursday Trios #13

This week there is no theme for me and I never expect a theme from my followers but the photos should be of people, animals or things grouped in threes.

…thanks to Terri for hosting Sunday Stills https://secondwindleisure.com/2021/03/21/sunday-stills-monthly-color-challenge-spring-green/

There’s not a lot of green in Toronto yet so I had to look to the green grocers for shots of green.

Monday Window – Humber College -South Campus

Posted on March 23, 2021 by Mama Cormier

….this is all about the old vs the new

Most of the buildings on the south campus of Humber College are from the late 18th century when the grounds were the Psychiatric Hospital. Originally built as a branch of the Toronto Asylum for the Insane, the hospital officially opened its doors in 1890 as the Mimico Asylum — the first such institution in Canada to be built on the cottage system. After the hospital closed in 1979 the buildings stood empty and in 1988 it was declared a heritage site.

When Humber signed a 99-year lease for the land and buildings in 1991, it began a complete restoration of the cottage buildings. Today the buildings have been restored to their original beauty and serve as classrooms and studios for the students. In between some of the old building a few new modern structures have been built. It’s a nice contrast between new and old.
