when I lived in the city...

...I loved it.  I didn't mind the traffic (I rode my bike everywhere).Ioved the diversity of everything but most of a I like taking photos.  Toronto is a visual feast and that is what I miss the most, finding beauty in all the unexpected places.  Here are a few photos from my time spent there.  The first photo is of a lovely little deck, my roomate, Anigav and I shared.  It may have been a bit more shabby than chic but we spent many a night out there basking in the ecstasy of the warm, city, night air.  Don't get me wrong, the city has it's own "treats and treasures" but I sure am glad I had my time with Toronto.  It changed me, it allowed me to grow and it brought some wonderful people into my life, one of those my good friend Poppy, you can see her peeking out of the right corner.

bragging board


"Bancroft, the most talented town", as our welcome sign declares, is no lie.  Today as I watched our T-Hawks for their first match of the season, I was thrilled.  I had no idea how gutteral my yells could get as I screamed for 33 to "GET HIM DOWN" and belted out to 24 (my beloved steppy) to "RUN, RUN, BRING IT HOME".  33 awed us with his gazelle like leaps into the air and down onto his prey as he took out the offense over and over again.  I am hooked, I loved every moment of the action and even shed a wee tear when our boys won 13-12 and my step son took home "Player of the Game".  A promising season ahead.  Love you boys!

dandelion

Finally got my Dandelion photo.  Maybe a little contrived but Little M, Hot Hunter and I had fun getting a few shots in the afternoon sun, can't wait to see her favourites.

spring splashing

What is lovelier than little girls splashing in the lake, wearing white cotton?  I got all inspired the other day when I went to pick Little M up from school.  The Dandelions were in full force on that side of town and their yellow, button heads in contrast to the spring, green grass had me excited to take some photos; of the girls frolicking in their cute, white cotton dresses, through a green pasture, peppered with gold.  Unfortunately by the time we made our way back to our side of town, there was not a Dandelion in sight....we ended up going back through the woods to a lovely dock on a secluded little lake, splashing and playing catch with the dogs.  What a lovely afternoon.  Roll on summer! P.S. Dandelions are weeds.
