I love how there's a little cat in there, as part of the sculpture #toronto #art
A close-up, low-angle shot of an outdoor sculpture on a concrete base. The sculpture features a large, irregular natural rock with patches of snow on top, next to a large, highly reflective, distorted silver clock face that appears to be partially melted or submerged. A small, dark, cat-like statue is nestled at the base of the rock. The background is dominated by the dark, reflective glass facade of a high-rise office building.

Time stands still near my office #toronto #art
A low-angle photo of a modern urban setting. In the foreground, there is an outdoor sculpture resembling a melted, distorted silver clock face mounted on a large natural stone, sitting on a concrete pedestal. The sculpture is situated between two very tall, dark-colored high-rise buildings, with a third, lighter building visible in the background. The ground is paved with stone, with some patches of snow or ice. There are parked cars visible on a street behind the sculpture.

The crescent moon earlier this evening, in front of our house #toronto
A moody, twilight sky with dense charcoal clouds framing a pale yellow-to-lavender horizon. A slender crescent moon is faintly visible near the center. The silhouette of a tall brick smokestack on the left and winter tree branches below add an industrial-gothic foreground.

Bad news in our neighbourhood #toronto
A close-up photo of a "Missing Cat" flyer taped to a tree trunk, covered in a clear plastic sleeve and wet with rain or dew. The flyer features a large, color photo of an orange/ginger tabby cat named Parker, who is lying down and looking directly at the camera with a somewhat grumpy expression. The text overlay reads: "MISSING CAT" at the top and "Help us find our cat Parker" in the middle right. A phone number is visible at the bottom: "If seen please call Mike 647-505-7195". The background is dark.

Earlier tonight on the evening constitutional #toronto
A moody, dark photograph of a suburban street at dusk. Heavy gray clouds fill the sky, with a sliver of bright pink and orange visible along the horizon line, just above the bare branches of a tall, dark tree on the left. Another large, full-leafed tree is visible on the right, and two cars are parked on the street. A vertical, overhead shot of a narrow, weathered stone pathway partially covered in a thick layer of dry, reddish-brown fallen leaves. The path recedes into the distance, surrounded by a mix of grass and more leaves.

Tranquility in Brookbanks Park #toronto
The immediate foreground is thick with weeds, tall grass, and undergrowth that are still predominantly green, providing a striking color contrast to the autumn foliage elsewhere. ​A dark, still body of water runs across the middle of the frame, likely a stream or channel from the ravine mentioned in previous descriptions. The water is still enough to reflect the dark, bare trees above, and its surface is partially covered with fallen leaves. The banks are densely covered with slender, bare deciduous trees and young saplings. The ground is carpeted with the typical yellow and brown autumn leaves. ​Through the tangled branches and sparse foliage, a small structure with a reddish roof is visible far in the background, suggesting a house or building is near the top of the ravine or slope. The overall light is dim and diffused, consistent with an overcast day.

I was not happy with the snow storm last week but one upside has been the soft forest floor #toronto
A single person is visible from behind, walking away from the camera in the lower-center of the frame. They are wearing a dark coat with a prominent hood and dark pants, blending slightly into the shadows of the woods. ​The path is soft earth, covered thickly with golden-yellow and brown fallen leaves. The terrain gently slopes downward and curves toward the right. The surrounding trees show the transition of late autumn: some still hold patches of yellow and light green leaves (especially toward the center), while many others are bare or nearly bare. A rustic low wooden rail fence runs along the right side of the path, providing separation. Just beyond the fence, a visible ravine or drainage area is present, covered in stones and debris, suggesting a natural water runoff channel. ​The lighting is soft and diffuse, indicating an overcast or cloudy day. The sky at the top is a pale grey-white, filtering the light gently across the forest floor. The bottom two-thirds of the image is dominated by a thick, deep layer of fallen leaves. The leaves display a rich palette of autumn colors, ranging from deep reddish-brown and orange to vibrant yellow and pale green. This mix suggests a variety of deciduous trees nearby. ​The leaf litter meets a clear, concrete or paved edge/curb that defines the border of the main area. Immediately beyond this edge, a small, dark body of water or a deep ditch is visible. The water surface reflects the darkness of the surrounding area and has a few leaves floating on it. The upper portion of the image shows a Gabion retaining wall. This wall is constructed from heavy wire mesh (chain-link) that is filled with dark, rough stones or rocks. This construction method is often used to stabilize steep slopes or ravines.

Still sad about this willow tree #toronto
The main trunk is thick, dark, and covered in rough, deeply furrowed bark, angled diagonally from the lower right toward the upper center. A large, thick branch has been broken or split off from the main trunk in the center of the frame. The exposed wood is a contrasting pale, reddish-blonde color, showing fresh damage. Long, thin, drooping green leaves characteristic of a weeping willow hang down from the top of the tree, partially obscuring the sky and upper portion of the scene. Beyond the main subject, the background consists primarily of a dense stand of bare deciduous trees whose straight, dark trunks point toward the sky, suggesting a woods or park area. ​The ground is covered with a layer of brown and yellow fallen leaves. In the middle distance on the left, there are patches of brighter yellow-green foliage and a glimpse of a residential structure (a house roof) behind a dark green hedge. ​The sky is mostly a pale, overcast white/grey, though a small patch of blue sky is visible toward the middle-left, adding a slight hint of color to the background.

I think I found the head of Medusa in Brookbanks Park #toronto
The entire ground is covered in a thick layer of golden-yellow and orange maple leaves, which dominate the color palette of the scene. ​Several tall, straight tree trunks rise vertically throughout the frame. Many of the trees are bare or have minimal foliage, typical of late fall. Two distinct groupings of trunks are visible: thicker, older trees (especially on the left) and several slender, younger saplings grouped near the center. ​Two prominent dark, fallen logs rest horizontally across the middle and lower right portions of the frame. The one in the middle creates a strong visual line and is partially covered by the smaller saplings. The main focus is a dark, weathered, gnarled tree stump or root ball in the center. Its surface is rough, dark brown, and appears wet or decomposed, with several thick, intertwining roots visible on top. ​The entire area is densely covered in a thick layer of golden-yellow and orange fallen leaves, predominantly from maple trees, which provides a bright, warm contrast to the dark stump.

I have been trying to take advantage of the precious light in late fall so today was a perfect day to walk through the neighbourhood #toronto
A path covered in fallen yellow and brown leaves stretches into the distance on the right side of the frame. The ground is a mix of green grass and scattered leaves. The sun casts distinct shadows, suggesting it is a clear day, possibly late afternoon or mid-morning. ​A dense canopy of deciduous trees forms an archway or tunnel overhead, with branches extending into the frame from the right. Most of the leaves are dry and yellowish-brown, indicating the end of the fall season. To the left, the area opens up into a grassy parkland with more scattered trees, including a couple of taller evergreen (pine) trees. Further in the distance, partially visible through the trees and sunlight, is a tall building or apartment complex, suggesting the park is within or adjacent to an urban area. ​The upper part of the image shows a bright blue sky with scattered white clouds. A paved, asphalt path leads straight into the distance, with some scattered light-colored patches on its surface. The edges of the path are lined with fallen yellow and brown leaves, consistent with an autumn setting. ​The path is flanked on the right by a well-maintained, dense green hedge. On the left, there is a mix of foliage and trees. The upper corners of the image are framed by the tree canopy; the leaves on the left are still mostly light green/yellow, while the branches on the right are largely bare. The sky is the most striking element. It is a brilliant blue filled with thick, textured white cumulus clouds. The sun is prominently visible near the center-top, slightly to the right, creating a bright sunburst or lens flare effect, indicating a very bright, clear day. A striking young deciduous tree with vibrant rust-orange/brown leaves dominates the center-right. Its color contrasts sharply with the surrounding greenery and bare branches. ​Immediately behind and to the right of the orange-leafed tree is a tall, dark evergreen (conifer or pine), providing a deep green backdrop. ​To the left, several bare deciduous trees with pale, slender trunks stand against a grassy expanse. Their lack of leaves highlights the end of the growing season. The ground is thickly covered in yellow and brown fallen leaves, scattered across the green grass. The upper portion of the image features a dramatic, partially overcast sky. Dark, heavy grey clouds dominate the top half, creating a sense of impending weather or deep shadow. However, a patch of bright blue sky is visible in the upper-left corner, suggesting that the sun is breaking through elsewhere, illuminating the trees and ground with a mix of bright light and deep shadow.
