Buttons and magnets with LRT for Eglinton Crosstown LRT opening

One of my favorite shots I've ever taken with a Mirror lens @castingoutloud.bsky.social. I just love the compression the lens gives to images.

Al is awesome. One of the best planners I've ever met (he's now retired), mentor and reference for me. I've had the chance to go on several of his walking and bike tours. Great example of staying active in retirement. cc @femwriter.bsky.social @jasonthorne.bsky.social

It's my first time in a hospice. What an amazing part of our health care system. I'm very impressed it's very tranquil and peaceful here.

Time for another nautical edition of #RavineRambles

This time paddling newly opened mouth of Don River. Starting at a boat launch in the new Biidaasige Park in the portlands.

This place really is an impressive feat of engineering.

There's parking relatively close I think. I think there's a small parking lot north of Commissioners St on Old Cherry St. Might be some street parking but I can't remember.
