The beauty in every day gardening by my neighbours.

He had a rocky time in Toronto. Mike Babcock pulling his garbage on Marner set the tone. Babcock benching Matt Martin for standing up for Marner. Set the tone and it was rocky from then on out. Couple it with the sensitive camp and this could only end with him moving on.

Repurposing an old gas station. Fun and great reuse.

The exquisiteness of the Canadian History Museum. Douglas Cardinal masterpiece.

The Niagara Butterfly Conservatory is a magical place. A cocoon of warmth and joy.

Last election day post. Thank you to all who knocked on doors, participated in debates, and got out into our communities to talk to voters.

On this election day in Ontario, thank you to all the candidates. It is hard work and takes a lot of energy and emotion. Most candidates will not be elected today. But we need all of them to share a vision for Ontario so we have a clear idea of the Ontario we want.

It’s election day in Ontario. If you’re eligible, please vote. Democracy needs all of us to elect our representatives. Make a plan to vote and then go!

The gloriousness of the morning sun at West Harbour GO. And urban design thinking with the lights.

It’s Saturday night. The good old hockey game with the Brantford Bulldogs biggest fan.

A couple of days late but the morning light in my corner of Hamilton can be breathtakingly beautiful.

Sigh. Such beauty in public art and city building.

One of my faves. #UrbanismBookClub Human Transit by the brilliant Jarrett Walker.

Matt Francis set this up to repeat his sound bite several times. He’s a one trick pony. Brad Clark somewhat took the bait but did the right thing. Good for Andrea in calling it out.

Coffee. Great city. Window. Watching the world. Happy.
