Years ago, I stood in amazement on my downtown Toronto balcony and watched Mammatus clouds and fiery sunset tones put on quite a show. I have several captures from that, and scatter them here occasionally. Inferno sky, but nobody gets hurt. #photography #blueskyphotography #sky #clouds #wildskies

This morning also featured a slightly shy Moon, but I could sense her up there before my eyes locked in. #photography #blueskyphotography #daylightmoon #prettymornings

Monday morning coffee came with gracefully free wind and clouds dancing. Mondays don't always suck. #photography #blueskyphotography #skyphotos #skyphotography #wind #clouds

An assortment of things I love : 1) The shape of these leaves. 2) Lupins. 3) The way my wife loves trees. 4) The annual return of hummingbirds to our feeders. #photography #assortedphotos #nature

I see my share of eye popping sunset displays where I live, but these softer understated evenings hold equal value for me. This is last night, with a caressing wind for good measure. #photography #blueskyphotography #sky #skyphotos #sunset #sunsets #softscenes

Big city life will present some things that you never want to see, like this wee morning hours blaze that I photographed from my sixth floor balcony. I am happy to report that no people or pets were injured, or worse. #photography #streetphotography #citylife #urbanlife #toronto #fires #frightening

I give daily thanks for my good health, and the ability to physically achieve what my brain tells my body to do. I took this photo years ago, as an elderly woman laboriously crossed Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto. #photography #streetphotography #blackandwhite #toronto

Stratford, Ontario, CANADA. Home to many fine heritage buildings, like this gorgeous Queen Anne Victorian that caught my eye. In fact, my eye is still there. #photography #architecture #heritagehomes #victorianhomes #blackandwhite #beautifulhouses

AM I A THROW AWAY : One man band original music by yours truly; acoustic guitar oriented but with a global kitchen sink of layers. Headphones suggested and thanks if you spin it. #blueskymusicians #blueskymusic #indieartist #indiemusicians #original #diymusic #headphones #acousticguitar

Rural life offers many modes of movement and activity. Some less fragrant than others. #photography #rurallife #farmlands #ruralontario #canada #farmequipment #classiccars #sliceoflife

"Dad... we're getting far away from where we left the car. We're so lost. Should we knock on that door to find out where we are?" A hot wind pause, all leaf rasp and Cicada... "That's a hard no, son." #photography #blackandwhite #hermitlife #backwoods #rural #imagination #isolation #storytelling
