This is how we celebrate in Toronto.
At Yonge & Dundas Jays fans are obeying the pedestrian scramble, as is the custom & returning to sidewalk each light cycle.
well done James!!
I just sent the last two paintings to O'Connor Gallery for my show opening, Friday this coming week. Whew!

That's over a year and a half of work, and about thirty paintings.
I am one happy clam.

Trains + incline railways can take you almost everywhere in #Switzerland.

Where they don't go, the PostBus will take you.

Evolved from a mail-carrying service to remote villages. 882 buses carry 152 million passengers a year.

Famous for yellow livery, and 3-tone klaxon...

The Dutch, naturally, have this sorted.

At this #Delft intersection, people on bikes and pedestrians get a continuous green.

The arrival of a car or truck sets off a sensor, which allows it to cross. The default is green for humans, red for cars.

The pines make a music like no other, rising and falling like a distant surf at night that calms the darkness before first light. “Soughing” we call it, from
Old English, no less. How weightless words are when nothing will do.

This is wonderful. AI imagery is polluting both visual history and the real-world environment. Blockity-block-block!

And remember: reporting and blocking AI content is even better than a duty - it's a pleasure.
For my new followers on Bluesky, keep in mind many of us won’t even see your profile if you have a generative AI profile pic, banner, or regularly post AI images.

Subscribing to the aimod moderation list below blocks almost all of it and is fantastic.

To recap:
- community action;
- a plan made;
- industrial lands remediated;
- a river moved;
- an island made;
- lands made green & nature returns;
- Indigenous people named the island;
- a bridge built & floated into place;
- art & culture floats down the river.

McGill put on by @thebentway.bsky.social. In the background is Ookwemin Minising, & the (morning misty) Toronto skyline behind it.
I was there yesterday. There is also a'clicking noise component to it also, when there is a gentle breeze blowing as there was then. A building with a fringe on it! How wonderful!
Fringe? On a building?!
Yes! And it sways calmingly in the wind.

I believe this...
The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood ..

In the woods, is perpetual youth.
