traffic easing out on the avenue near the falls, at almost 12 midnight.

good morning! good morning! good morning!

day 810 - fringes

a gathering of fringed leaves, flowers and weeds.

day 809 - clear water revival

such clear water on the lake. which it should be!

day 808 - obscene lily

while i do love the unusual colour of this lily, i think i shot it at such a bad angle i don't like the look of the pistil and its stigma. really looks like a...a...well, as i said, something obscene! and i mean it in the context of the flower's visual.

day 807 - fancy pansy

love the colours of this pansy flower, especially the veins. i think it is quite lovely.

day 806 - another one

what's with these butterflies? i can't catch a picture of them unless they're on the pavement, obviously dead!

day 805 - roots

but no beer, just lake ontario.

day 804 - baby powder blue

the jag i chanced upon yesterday at lunch. sleek and dapper. i'll drive it, if i'm forced to.

day 803 - emmo bike

obviously, 'emmo' is a trade name. funny. and this is an e-bike. which could only mean it is powered by electricity. or by the internet. hahahaha!

day 802 - muscle flexer

bicycles, motorcycles, taxis. the harley is the choice!

day 801 - white tulips after the rain

pure white tulips found on a large planter outside a building on yonge street. i think white flowers is all the rage this season. i like it!

day 800 - white daffodil

i must say, i've never seen a pure white daffodil until i saw this. i think it's tres cool!

day 799 - bikes for big boys

the sunday regulars at leonard's diner. five more behind me, won't fit in the lens.

the boats have arrived. beautiful day today and hopefully tomorrow because i'm coming back here again to enjoy the view.

day 797 - butterfly

love sucks! figuratively and in this case, literally.

day 796 - enjoy while ye can!

miniature lily of the valley flowers found growing on the side of garden.

day 795 - a double dose of daisy

i love these tiny daisies, their colours, textures, etc. i should get a packet of seeds and try and grow them. or maybe i shouldn't.

day 794 - what can i say?

i'm a sucker for moon shots. did i tell you the story about....

day 793 - right in the middle of the road

looking east on the danforth - yeah, i'm a renegade!

day 792 - happy birthday, paul!

paul is 50, the sign says. so 50 beer mug posters were planted on his front lawn. i do not know who paul is, but happy birthday paul. (just passed by this house on my way to breakfast :-)

day 791 - pink hyacinth

they come in pink, purple, white, blue, green even.

day 790 - in vivid colours

camera setting is screwed up, it's taking pictures in bigger files and this much colours. tee-hee! i might enjoy it for quite a bit, that is until i find out how to correct the damn settings.

day 789 - shy and pink

this flower looks kind of shy, isn't it?

day 788 - bamboo

i might have posted this in here before. it's just that the light of the morning sun gave this a whole new look, including the whitewashed colour.

day 787 - droplets

droplets on very tiny succulents.

day 786 - inside the magnolia flower

some revelations are unexpected no matter how much you expect them.

day 785 - unfurl

what one notices when you're not looking: an unfurling young fern.

day 784 - what is this thing!

very clever, indeed. a tree branch that grew around this wire fence, they cut the tree and left this part of it because they would have to destroy the wire fence if they had to do that. at a glance it looks like a dead animal, like a large rat or something.

day 783 - a dead butterfly

found this on the pavement today. poor butterfly!

day 782 - catching a lot of sun

the pink tulips look pretty from its underside facing the bright sun. it's like they're trying to catch a lot of sunlight for later use!

day 781 - feeling fluffy!

i don't know what this tree is but the clustered flowers sure look like cotton balls. they are so lovely!

day 780 - small things come with a big punch

the flowers look like lily of the valley, but i've never seen LOTV clusterd like this. maybe it's a genus?

day 799 - i fancy a pansy

pretty miniature pansy flower; found on the side of a road.

day 798 - hyacinthus

beautiful purple hyacinth; gives me a headache but i still like them. some people give me headaches, too, and i don't like them. they are not like the hyacinth.

day 797 - the great wall of china

literally. a wall decorated with different patterns of china. it's great! get it?

day 796 - friday afternoon

toronto's rush hour. the sun casts long shadows of people on the pavement.

day 795 - it's a plane!

yes, there's also a bird, right in front of its nose. but you must look closely.

day 794 - sun peeking through

the morning sun peeking through the fence and through the kitchen window. damn those parking lot signs!

day 793 - flower power-er

what holds the flower in all its beauty, but the little rocks soaked underneath just doing its duty.

day 792 - white roses

why not? it's free to take pictures at the market!

day 791 - birthday flowers

"i sent thee late a rosy wreath
not so much honouring thee
as giving it a hope that there
it could not withered be"
- a song to celia, by ben jonson

day 790 - what a waste!

as beautiful as this shot looks, it is still a pity and a waste that in the middle of the day when the sun is at its brightest, the lamp lights are on. what gives?

day 789 - slow beginnings

these buds on a tree look like little claws. grrr!

day 788 - yellow roses for aida

these ones are bathed in lamplights. taken from a florist's display window.
