Any Toronto East Enders here might need to know this underpass between Woodfield Rd & Monarch Park closed for at least a week. Will affect students at at least 4 high schools and 2 elementary school. It implicates a city bike path. It affects a neighbourhood who can’t access their park/TTC. Painful!

I’ve become fascinated with Snow Geese flying down St. Lawrence R these past 2 Thanksgivings. Search suggests sitings in 🇨🇦 from BC-E coast. See no ON mentions but maybe missed something. Anyway was curious why I saw some trace back their path SW & return NE in same morning? Avoiding US situation?😆😞

Last night’s supermoon rising over hills in St. André & St. Germain de Kamouraska looked bigger and better than this & was the kind of moonrise that could knock one off their bicycle. I wish it could be captured better by phone but I lack the skill!

No she’s not sick but this dog LOVES crabgrass. I had to drag her out of this patch after 5 minutes of unmitigated grazing.

Watching sunset on St. Lawrence while listening to Jays smash Yankees is pretty peak Canada happy even if the Bas St Laurent locals are seemingly not tuned in.

Clearly my blind dog is going to have to step up her game. So far she is fantastic at providing unconditional love and pat-pat-pat therapy -as well as entertainment as she is the Roomba of dogs bumping into walls and then reorienting.

More of this in public spaces. I’m old enough to remember when Ontario had an actual Science Centre. And I’m old enough to remember it had a cracking one of these. I ESPECIALLY appreciate sign explaining that Concrete is made FROM cement, water, sand&gravel. “Cement” is glue people, not the product.

Attn Vancouver: please get your gulls under control! Didn’t spot sign until tragedy had hit. 😭I really didn’t appreciate this mama bird’s sneak attack from behind grabbing half of my Lee’s doughnut from my firm grasp and biting my finger in the process! Insultingly, none was fed to her “baby”!

Love how not just boring things grow from cracks in Victoria’s sea walls, but snap dragons instead.

I’m more than a little obsessed with Cosmos. On the left are the ones we typically grow. I LOVE them-the variation and fact they self seed and keep going well into fall. On the right some unusual ones spotted at Kamouraska & Reford Gardens this summer. Now I LOVE these too! Esp the crepe paper ones!

It’s been steady rain all day where I am & went out to toss some seeds into a place I want them to grow next year & I heard a noise like something falling out of a tree. So I looked & this beautiful hawk was about 6 ft away just staring at me seemingly saying please leave me to wait out rain here!

Really need more PARKBUSES & better transit to prov parks (& more investment in parks -see SEPAQ in QC, Ontario!!).
Set up a camping playscape with kindy kids & made sure I included a parkbus to get our campers there. Our bus/train systems severely eroded. Need more. & more not LESS public lands.
