Today made up for yesterday. It was a beautiful sunny day, almost warm, with a breeze. People were in shirt sleeves or light jackets. There was no need to bundle up. It was an unfettered day. We were not constrained by time either. We didn’t have to be here or there by this hour or […]
Here are a few more photos from Nuit Blanche 2012. I think that it could also be called Nuit Rouge or Nuit Bleu. It’s the lights on all night that make it. Above is Toronto’s old city hall. Below is a display in one of the windows of the AGO. I think that it speaks
We began and ended Nuit Blanche this year at the AGO – the Art Gallery of Ontario – mainly because we found a parking spot out front and decided that we needed to use a decent washroom. Funny how some basic necessities often shape the outcome of “things.” This is the AGO with the new
We went out for Nuit Blanche again last night. We have gone out for everyone – rain or shine err well maybe it’s glow since it started 6 or 7 years ago. Every year is different. Sometimes the locales have shifted. Definitely the Art installations have changed. The weather is important and the number of
The evenings are still very warm. You can leave the house with sandals, shorts, T-shirt and never have to think about a sweater or a cool breeze causing a chill. I know this will come soon enough; but I am a hot weather person, so I need to stock up!! Winter is long and cold.

Maybe the title should also read “Signs of Life.” As in vital signs – breathing, the pulse etc… I love street signs. They create interesting patterns and they make random comments on life. Here is a picture that I took yesterday. It’s outside of the Unicorn pub on Eglinton Ave. I have always liked the
Sunday night we went to the parkette to the west of the flatiron building near St. Lawrence Market. There we came across a lovely pianist, who was very welcoming. She introduced herself to her “come by chance” audience; sat for pictures or videos and happily explained how, although she had studied music, she just made up
We went down to Sugar Beach last night to check out the street piano that was there. Fortunately we were able to avoid the $10.00 parking fee because we found on street parking – almost unheard of on the waterfront. At first my husband thought that the parking was $20.00 – but that was for
I will get back to the Found Poetry of Knitting Stitches shortly. I just need a few more pictures. The Inverted Gull Stitch, for example, is posing a bit of a problem – not to mention Odin’s eagles. I will also do an update on my daily challenges – just have to catch up on
