day 1036 - stop!

for the snow...

day 689 - it snows in toronto

well, what's left of what came down last night. and more are still coming down later on in the day and this would be completely covered by tomorrow.

day 366 - cold, cold toronto

lake ontario taking on the sunset...it is a miserably cold day today. miserable. really.

day 348 - we are in the deep freeze!

it's cold in toronto today. no, make that cold like hell in toronto today. this is the part of the lake at the island and you can see that the waters are icy/frozen in and around the islands. a big contrast to day 145 , isn't it?

day 344 - iced over

i was waiting for partner inside the car and the windshield was covered in ice that had started to melt. what to do? he's taking a long time. ordinarily, i'd just storm out and walk, to hell if i had to walk or take the subway, i'm used to it anyway. i hate waiting. but then i took my camera out of my purse and started using the 'tulip' function of the camera (yeah, i know, it's called macro) et voila! le photo du jour.

day 335 - the next day...

guess, i spoke too soon. so we didn't even expect this snow overnight but we woke up to a heavy snowfall. at 7:00 o'clock this morning, this is how those planters in front of the building looked like (scroll down and compare it to yesterday's, day 334). snow is beautiful, the more of it falls down, the prettier the landscape. but try walking on it in the city or cross the street, you'd find out it's a bitch, especially if you're lugging a large and heavy bag with two young boys in tow.

day 30 - maple farming

a painting by frank panabaker, hanging in my living room. i'm kind of getting used to it, i guess after five years, i should.
