- Sugar Beach umbrellas and sailboats in Toronto Harbour
At 23 degrees C, a perfect August day to be at Sugar Beach under an umbrella, or on the water in a sailboat on Toronto Harbour. Appreciating comfortable climate after having spent practically all of July in humid temperatures over 30 degrees in China, Vietnam and then Jamaica. Better planning would let me stay home in the summer, and travel to other parts of the world when I'll appreciate their climate more. (Toronto) 20130807 1823 - Shooting Covert Affairs in Toronto
Clapperboard said @CovertAffairs, spotted @PiperPerabo in drivers seat of car with mic and grips behind, on The Esplanade, just west of Berkeley Street. Extras on sidewalk, police blocking traffic both directions, but filming stopped to allow TTC bus to pass. Basketball players on court in far background could care less. The city retains some glamour as a media production centre. I'll have to watch out for the episode where this car shows up. (Toronto) 20130807 1834 - Dow's Lake
Canoeists learning to paddle on Dow's Lake near central Ottawa. Appreciate the moderate summer temperature on a August weekday. (Ottawa, ON) 20130815 1309 - Parliament Hill
Evening stroll in Otttawa by Parliament Hill, on the south bank of the Ottawa River. Compared to Toronto, the people in Ottawa are friendlier and seem less stressed. Since I spend so much time outside of Canada, I'm getting cognitive dissonance of dealing day to day with nice people where I don't have to think so much about how we communicate (Ottawa) 20130815 2005 - Kingston Portsmouth Olympic Harbour
On the route home, by Portsmouth Olympic Harbour, right beside the Kingston Penitentiary, a maximum security prison. Noting the many boats on trailers that anyone could just drive up, hook up, and tow away, without supervision or security. Does the prison next door give thieves any pause to think about potential consequences? (Kingston, Ontario) 20130816 1858 - Edward Gardens Fountaim
On our 28th anniversary renewal of vows, the limestone lady at the Edward Gardens fountain looks freshly cleaned. DY and I queued for a wedding party to clear, and then recommitted for another year. With my retirement and AHI's surgery, it's been a roller-coaster year. After the big family pilgrimage to China and then Vietnam, we're considering couples travel together. (Don Mills, ON) 20130824 1458 - Farhat Bakery Meadowlands, Ottawa
Lebanese baker warms up meat pies and zataar in oven at lunchtime for takeout. First time in modest storefront of Farhat Bakery on Meadowlands, high quality for reasonable price. Friend suggested only half the usual spice, but slight burn an hour later suggest I should ask for mild next time. (Ottawa, 1119 Meadowlands) 20130911 1219 - Control room at Bell Lightbox
- Bridesmaids at Burwash Hall Gate House
A rainy Saturday at Victoria College, University of Toronto presents a challenge for a photographer trying to capture a wedding day. Maybe 7 bridesmaids in pink. Groom and bride to the left, photographer to the right. Was on campus today for the annual Victoria College Booksale. (Toronto) 20130921 1323 - American Embassy, Ottawa
At the western edge of the Byward Market district, the Embassy of the United States of America on Sussex Drive is an imposing concrete building. The skylights at the north end create some visual interest. (Ottawa) 20130925 1826 - Chinese postage stamps of Dr. David Lam
Commemorative postage stamps of Dr. David Lam, in addition to medal, plaque and glass trophy for lifelong service, issued by Chinese Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine in April. Only one of two TCM practitioners recognized at this level outside of China, Dr. Lam in Canada, and another in the U.S. Dr. Lam declined to go to China to receive his accolades. Retired in Canada, he still teaches and sees legacy patients. (Toronto) 20130928 - Art at Denver Airport A gates
Dual Meridian by David Griggs overhead in atrium by trains from Terminal A. Also heard Train Call song by Jim Green as doors were about to close, a welcome alternative to the usual boring warning tones. (Denver) 20131128 1041 - SFO Terrminal 3 art installation
Japanese Toys! From Kokeshi to Kaiju display at San Francisco Airport, between the speedwalks to T3 departures. Discovered that UA720 at 5:44 a.m. PT must be the first flight out for the day, as under-capacity security personal said I was the third person checked that morning, around 4:15 a.m. (San Francisco Airport) 20131129 0429 - Convening at Pella Town Square
Coming from Fairfield, Des Moines, Chicago, Michigan and Toronto, the town of Pella was chosen as the venue for lunch. We've met online, but not in person. The Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend, the holiday spirit was heightened by tourist in horse-drawn carriages around the square (Pella, Iowa) 20131130 [photo by Emerson Brown] - The Monocoque, Moline Airport
