While in Toronto, M and I went to a Blue Jays baseball game.
The game was in the Rogers Centre in downtown Toronto and was much more fun than watching it on television.
Lots of blue jay blue …
… with an open retractable roof …
… and a very competitive game …
… made it well worth attending.
Happy Tuesday.
For 32 years ending in 2007, the iconic Toronto tower was the world’s tallest freestanding structure until it was displaced by the Burj Khalifa, a skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
M and I have both been at the top of the tower before – as you can imagine, it has spectacular views of the city and Lake Ontario – but we felt that we didn’t need to go again. Do you see the moon to the left of the tower, above its viewing deck?
Instead, we enjoyed it from the rooftop patio of an adjacent hotel which itself provided beautiful city and lake views. Here’s one of the Skydome, where we had just watched a Blue Jays baseball game.
It was a beautifully warm, clear day, great for looking at the lay of the land!
Happy Monday.

Joy abounds from the beautiful spring bloomings …
… but even after they have fallen …
… they lend allure to a concrete sidewalk.
Happy Thursday.
M and I have been meandering along Ontario’s south coast at Lake Erie, where we visited one of M’s favourite spots from his time living in Toronto.
Long Point is a large sandbar that has fabulous beaches, many summer (and also year-round) homes, and at its southern tip, a UNESCO world heritage site protecting birds, butterflies and a number of types of plants and trees. It also contains North America’s oldest bird observatory.
We went walking along one of Long Point’s famous beaches. Although there were lots of people about and the sun was shining, it was almost completely deserted since the wind off the lake was quite cold.
A lone kite-surfer had good conditions but he must have been chilly!
We nevertheless had a good walk and enjoyed this unique area.
