Father's Day

"Happy Father's Day" to all fathers and many thanks to the "Mothers" who made them "Fathers".

Chipmunk

She is a resident in my backyard.

Boats, Boats

And you think you have a problem finding a parking space for your car.

Heavy Equipment

I am guessing you have seen many power shovels before. This one is a little different than ones you are used to seeing. Look between the treads (tracks) and you will see special equipment for riding on railway tracks. It is a John Deere Railavator. Used in many maintenance applications including undercutting, pulling rail, cutting brush, craning, tamping ties, or just digging and trenching.

Boats And Flowers

A small garden on the edge of the marina.

Double Reflection

An abandoned house in the neighbourhood. The window was reflecting the scene from across the street which just happen to be reflecting it's own reflection of the rising sun.

Smoke, Smoke, Smoke

Smoke, smoke, smoke that cigarette
Puff, puff, puff and if you smoke yourself to death
Tell St. Peter at the Golden Gate
That you hate to make him wait
But you just gotta have another cigarette

Men With Beards

A stranger that I had a conversation with. I admired his moustache and beard. He gave me permission to photograph him. I moved into a position that caught the morning sun on his face.

City Hall Sunrise

May 8, 2015. The sun is coming up behind city hall.

On The Waterfront

Morning Fog

After a overnight rain the morning is wet and foggy. I took this photo through my open upstairs window.
PS: I have not be able to get out recently. So I am desperate for photos to post. Please be patient until I get back on track.

The Runner

Early Sunday morning. Just me and the runner.

Lilac

A common sight this time of year.

Sunrise

The sun, looking GOOD..

Red-Bellied Woodpecker

I don't usually take photos of birds. I just do not have the lens needed to take good photos.
With this shot I got lucky with my Canon 18-200mm.

Skyward Bound

My intent was to photograph the bridge but the sky stole the show.

Signs - I Talk To The Dogs

Bilingual sign for English or French speaking dogs. I'm linking to Lesley's Signs, Signs.

Stand On Guard For Thee

This male Red Winged Blackbird was flying over me. I was getting close to his nest and he was squawking and making aggressive motions. The male’s time is spent vigorously defending his territory from other males and predators. They do not hesitate to attack much larger animals, including people.

***********************************************************

Finally the female showed up with a morsel of food in her mouth. She tried to go the nest a few times but waited until I moved away.

Red Bench

Located in the downtown Toronto, The Red Bench is an organic cookie and frozen yogurt bar. Their menu changes with the seasons, as they only use fresh ingredients in their products.
