April Sunday 2009

On a beautiful, sunny day by Lake Ontario - the first sighting of a sailboat for this season! Although the photo is taken at quite some distance - there it is! yea!

Soon the inner harbour will be the water way for enthusiastic sailors - the season here is short compared to other areas - it is well appreciated by the locals.

Today was a stunning shiny day for a walk by the water, citizens all aglow - shedding winter coats, hats, boots - traded in for sunblock - still feel the need for a jacket, we are not in full blown spring yet but we remain ever hopeful.

b-r-r-r it's a chilly new year

In most of Canada, January has been very cold and snow covered, even in some areas that are not accustomed to being covered in the white, fluffy crystals...I am based in Toronto, Ontario but I spent the month of January '09 in Beautiful British Columbia. While there, I was based in Port Moody (the City of The Arts). It has a charming old downtown 'hood with a creative and small town vibe, as well as a newer, hip area called Newport Village with high-rise condos and trendy stores and boutiques to match. The irresistible attraction is the most photographed resident, my grand-baby-boy! Naturally, I spent as much time with him and Team Parent as possible. This trip was a welcome break from the bleak winter and sub-zero temperatures which occurred in the East that month.
