Hot Hands

Zippo made their fame and fortune with their brand of cigarette lighters. Now they want to keep your hands warm.

Monday Night

How is your appreciation of taste and flavor, especially when it comes to spicy food?

Metropolitan United Church

One of the largest churches in downtown Toronto, welcomes people of any faith or orientation to join in the Sunday services. On January 30, 1928 the church caught fire and was gutted. The tower with its 23 bells, the narthex, the rear portion of the balcony and the brick walls were all that could be saved. It was rebuilt in 1929, incorporating most of the original walls, tower, narthex, and much of the stained glass.

Fallen Leaves

Skip the rake and leave the leaves. Leaving the them on the ground as mulch can actually be an effective method of building soil and supporting a healthy yard.

Daybreak

I am back at my favourite location for watching the sun come up. 
An amateur photographer was invited to dinner with friends and took along a few pictures to show the hostess. She looked at the photos and commented, "These are very good! You must have a good camera." He didn't make any comment, but, as he was leaving to go home he said, "That was a really delicious meal! You must have some very good pots."

Lest We Forget

Canadians recognize Remembrance Day, originally called Armistice Day, every 11 November at 11 a.m. It marks the end of hostilities during the First World War and an opportunity to recall all those who have served in the nation’s defence. Pictured above is Lancaster Bomber KB882. It has been sitting outside in Edmundston, New Brunswich since 1964, when the city bought it for $1,600. Over the years, the aircraft deteriorated, and birds had built nests inside and rust had set in. Built in Ontario in 1944, it's one of the last surviving Lancaster Bomber. After surviving its missions over war-torn Europe, (more than 3,300 of them were lost in battle) KB882 served another 12 years with RCAF 408 Squadron mapping Canada’s high Arctic and keeping an eye on Soviet ice stations. There is hope that a buyer can found that would put the effort into restoring the bomber.

Emotions

A smile is a positive emotion.

Very quickly the smile turned into the emotion of confusion. Not to worry. She had an assistant off camera taking care of her.

A Rose By Any Other Name

My wife's rosebush beside the deck is opening up with new blooms. Nothing strange about that except it is happening on November 1st. Normally the plant would be entering it's winter dormant stage by now. 

Red Carpet

No movie stars or Oscar Awards on this carpet. Just plain autumn beauty.
