In Like a Lamb…
…out like a lion?
They say that if March begins with beautiful, sunny, and mild weather it will surely go out like a lion. In this climate that usually means cold, wintery weather. Hard to imagine this happening because our winter has been more like a west coast winter with mild temperatures and rain. It would be a cruel gesture on Mother Nature’s part to end the month with a blast of winter.
Water, Water Everywhere….February 27, 2024
…thanks to Jez for hosting Water, Water Everywhere…https://jezbraithwaite.blog/2024/02/26/straiton-pond-2-for-water-water-everywhere-210/
I never get tired of the waterfront that I live close to (literally 100m from my house). It changes with the season, the wind, time of day and the weather. Earlier this week the water was dead calm. Very unusual for this time of year but the entire winter this year has been unusual. Little to no snow, mild temperatures, rain and then sudden drops in temperature that last for one to three days.
Signs of Spring in February 2024
…with milder temperatures and rain instead of snow we’re seeing buds, sprouts and even flowers
In many parts of the world this is hardly unusual but it’s very unusual in Toronto to see signs of spring this early.
Tonight the temperatures are dropping by 20 celsius degrees, +9 to -11. Earlier today I was overdressed and when I went out later in the day I quickly felt how much the temperatures were dropping and I was very much underdressed.
Gloomy, Windy, Chilly and Grey
…most of January
We haven’t had much of a winter so far this year. We had a bit of a cold snap but most of the month the temperatures sat above freezing and there was very little snow. Any snow that we did get only lasted a day and it was hardly worthwhile getting out the snow shovel. I’ve really missed the sun but the next three days look good.
The ongoing greyness really gets to you after awhile. It’s quite depressing and I had to force myself to get outside to go for a walk.
I’m really looking forward to the next three days. The temperatures during the day will continue to be above freezing for the next 10 days but after Tuesday the sun will disappear again for at least five days. Better get out and enjoy some rays before they hide behind the clouds again.
Sunday Trees – January 7, 2024
…now that winter is upon us, my tree photos are mainly of bare bones
On Saturday, it was so windy by the lake that not even the trees could shelter me from the biting cold.

A Look Back on 2023
It seems that I have been very inconsistent with my blog in the last month. For that I apologize to my regular followers. I hope to do better in 2024. Here is a quick review of my highlights in 2023.
January to March 2023

What One Does on a Rainy Saturday
…for us it included painting, walking and cooking
Last Saturday the forecast was very wet for most of the day. In between downpours I did manage to get out for a walk and snap a few photos.
When I returned from my walk I set up my art table to get ready for some more painting. Only 7 more sleeps before my solo show.
Kevin on the hand got into complete ‘chef’ mode and made empanadas from scratch.
