I’ve never seen people actually sit in these chairs but I can imagine on a nice day it would be lovely to look over the lake and the city.
….We’ve had exceptionally warm weather in April and with the mild winter that we had the daffodils appeared early

I love the waves on Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay where our cottage is. I won’t be going to the cottage for at least another month but the lake by our house never fails to provide some magnificent waves.

Sometimes the best art is on walls and often in obscure places. Today’s mural was found facing the parking lot between Bloor St. and Prince Arthur Ave. I almost missed it because I wasn’t looking up and to the left. We were headed back to the car and I was focused on the mission to find the car. One of my friends brought my attention.

Who is that lonely character that I see before me?
Off in the distance, standing guard on the grass
Hidden but not, an unusual white mass
His days are numbered for him to see
The weather is his enemy.

I’m always trying to find different ways to photograph the water that surrounds us. Here are my latest attempts to do just that.
…46 years ago Kevin ran in this race and yesterday our daughter took part at the High Park Spring Run Off Race
Back in the day my husband was an elite runner. When the kids were little we used to bundle them up, strap them into their car seats and drive off to races all over Ontario and New York State. One of the races that was closer to home was the High Park Spring Run Off. When it first started back in 1978 it attracted an impressive 1200 runners and yesterday’s race saw over 5000 men, women and children running in the 8k, 5k and children’s race.
This is not the first year that our daughter, Andrea ran in this race but it was certainly her best performance. She placed 1st in her age category for women. Kevin and I arrived after the race started but we managed to find a prime spot just at the top of the hill so we had a great vantage point for taking photos and caught her just steps in front of the finish line.
