Snow falls in
Acton, Ontario
|
You have to fight through snow piled
high in the sidewalk to get around Acton today after the snowfall - which
started yesterday and ended by noon. Afterwards sun comes out and starts
to warm everyones hearts becuase it is valentine's day.
Actually we have been very lucky
in how little snow we have received so far. The City of Hamilton got 70cm,
or over 2 feet! We got about 10cm which is just enough to make the commute
a little tricky.

Horses on
a Milton farm
|
Some horses were
milling around in what I can only presume is a gang, a gang looking for
trouble. I struggled through the snow piled high along the highway and
approached the electrified fence. It was too cold to wait long so I did
not have a chance to view the violence I knew was coming. |

Sasha and her
shoe
|
The warmth of this sunny February winter's day makes me want to take
a picture of something fun so I ask the kids to pose with the cute dog.
Sasha the golden retriever holds a shoe in her mouth while surrounded
by Erin and Mel B. Sasha grunts or moans and wants to play - go ahead try
to take the shoe away. She is Mel B's great dog.

Some Acton history
|
Acton's old town
hall has gone through many changes and now is a community services building.
Walking through the town I revisit some of the old buildings along Bower
Street - including the Acton Federal building housing the post office.
Both the town
hall and the row of semi detached homes were built in the early 1880's.

2006 Toronto
Buskerfest
|
As we continue
into the winter doldrums with snow, snow, snow and overcast days I think
about some of the events that were the highlight of last summer.
The Toronto
Buskerfest had some amazing performers like the guy above who became
a bronze statue of a world war one soldier. Other performers included acrobats,
jugglers and comedians. Click on any of the pictures below to see the larger
pictures.
I also attended the
Toronto Doors Open event, a war of 1812 reenactment, some air shows and
Canada Day celebrations.
This year I would
like to try to attend some of the following events: Toronto International
Circus Festival, the Toronto Zombie Walk, Dragon Boat racing on Centre
Island, the Toronto Pillow Fight at Dundas Square, The Toronto Buskerfest
(Street Festival) and hopefully a few more.
Ann and I will
also try to make it to the Graphics
Canada Tradeshow in November to do some research for making her Lighthouse
paintings into a series of limited edition prints.
